I am new to this site. I was banded on May 5, 2008 4 days so far on clear liquid diet 10 pounds lost. I am feeling hungry not eating anything just doing Clear liquids. Any advice on what else I can have besides Jello, broth crystal light and Water.

Weight date of surgery 260

current weight 250

goal weight 145

I just had my surgary on 05/08/2009 ,whould you let me know what's the best idea for liquid daiet?

How about Miso Soups for a flavor change in liquid? If it has little bits of tofu and seaweed just advoid those parts. I thought of it when I saw wonton soup.

Healthwise has a long list of soups and drinks that are full of protein and are quite tasty.

If you have a Magic Bullet, you can put regular soup in that and blend it for a few seconds. This was okay for me during full liquids.

is there any way to get protein into the broth? I was told if you mix protein powder in it, it will curdle or get lumpy.

I want to low calorie soups!

My doctor sells Healthwise soups and broths packs. They have 15gms of protein, and you can put them into a regular soup, or just mix them with hot water.

I started Liver Shrinking diet on May 6th Surgery is set for May 14th. I have done well so far have lost 9 pounds. The Unjury protein drink is the best I have found so far. I go over the information just about everyday to try and understand the stages I will have to go through. I will be so glad when I can eat some solid foods LOL.

I believe that all doctors are different so I would say ask your doctor and follow his instructions. My liquid diet consist of sugar free beverages like crystal light and sugar free kool-aid, coffee, tea, water with sugar substitute, broth all varieties, sugar free popsicles for the first and second day then I advance to Full liquid where I can add low fat strained cream soups and vegetable juice. Good Luck on reaching your goal and please keep in touch as every post I get helps me on my journey as well.
