Just had surgery on the 11th...I am on 2 week clear liquids diet...to avoid dehydration, what are some typical daily meal plans. Because I'm not hungry, I'm not sure if I'm eating enough.

I would set up a timer to sip every 10 minutes, drank all kinds of allowed juice, diluted if too sweet, gatorade and "ate" low sodium fat free beef broth and low fat chicken broth. Are you allowed shakes? I wasn't allowed shakes or soups until my second stage which was 10 days later.

I drink 1/4 cup of liquid Protein (Isopure) on the hour, and I sip on Fruit2O Water every 15 mins after or I suck on crushed ice.

I loved water before surgery & now it tastes horrible which is why I'm hooked on Fruit2O. Crushed ice is a must as I'm still battling severe nausea. I'm on anti-nausea med, but the smell of food (that my family) eats turns my stomach.

I also took in sugar free Popsicles, strained soup, broth, water, crystal light and protein drink. You are not going to be hungry. Just sip on liquid all day long and I just usually prepared 1/4 of soup or something at lunch and supper.

For each "meal" of the day, I have 8oz of protein drink (isopure), and then a 16 oz bottle of water or crystal light. I make sure to finish both before the next meal time. You'll end up with 72 oz with breakfast, lunch and dinner.
