I had my surgery 11/30 but I have been on a clear liquid diet since 11/16. I see my doc this coming Friday and I really hope to move to the full liquids because this is really starting to get to me! How did the rest of you work through this? I don't want to cheat and I know I won't, I am just miserable! Any advice, tips or even some clear liquid suggestions?

I've been on clear liquids since 11/2... my surgeon requires them for 2 weeks before and 4 weeks after surgery (plus protein). I'm climbing the walls wanting to eat actual FOOD. No advice... Just sympathy.

Yikes. That's a long time to be on clear liquids! You also have my sympathy.

That being said, full liquids will seem like a walk in the park for you!

Unflavored Protein powder in chicken or beef bone broth was my saving grace during the clear liquids. I also added some broth enhancer that I found at the grocery store to make it a little bit better.

Did you make your own bone broth?

Actually, we found some at Sam's Club that we like. I still use it my recipe to flavor and to cook down green Beans.

I asked because I've been researching the benefits of bone broth and was going to start making my own. I saw some at the store and picked up a couple boxes. It was the worst tasting stuff ever. I'll have to check out Sam's club until I can get to the butcher and get some bones. Thank you.
