Two weeks of clear liquid ????????????

Okay, so I had the VSG on Monday the 24th...I'm on clear liquids for 14 days...I'm on day 7...I'm slowly losing my sanity because i can't leave the house until my post op visit this Thursday..I've tried a few different broths which nauseated me so much (beef and chicken boullion cubes boiled in water and low sodium organic chicken broth) the smell and taste turns my stomach like you wouldn't believe...have any of you had strained wonton soup broth without the stuff in it? Or even homemade/diner chicken soup broth strained? Please let me know..I'm dyinnng over here lol! I'm so miserable ????????????????

I added lots of pepper to my broth. Honestly I'm on day 6 and only had broth once I'm not a fan of it either.

Can you do SF popcicles? I would say 100% strained would be OK, but I would just double check with your NUT or surgeon to be sure.

You'll get through this girlfriend! I'm 7 months PO and honestly don't even remember those hell weeks! Totally worth it :)

Simmer the broth with dried rosemary and thyme and add a tsp. of Better than Bouillon. It tastes delicious that way.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions, my NUT just called me back ( feels so funny to call my nutritionist a nut haha) and she said yes to the broth from wonton soup and homemade/restaurant chicken soup! Thank you baby Jesus! Lol! And yes I can have SF ice pops :) xo

Update! My parents brought home chicken soup from the diner, I strained it through a very fine hole strainer and it went down beautifully and I am satisfied for the first time since surgery lol...I think the next 7 days of clear liquids will be more tolerable :)

Unsweetened applesauce has been my go to strangely enough, it's the only thing that has satisfied me so far so I'm afraid to try anything else.

Cool

Omg I thought I was the only one! The smell of the broth reminds me of my puppies food and just turns my stomach. I'm going to have my hubby get me my fav chicken soup at the market and strain it otherwise I won't be able to eat and starve :( Thank goodness this phase is almost over!
