Can someone explain to me the difference between clear liquids and full liquids?? Examples would be appreciated:tt1:

Clear liquids are anything clear or semi-transluscent. Examples would be chicken, beef or vegetable stock, Crystal Light, jello, cordials. Full liquids are thick and opaque. Examples would be Cream of [anything] soup (not the thick & chunky varieties, those are mushies), plain yogurt (if it's got fruit chunks, it's a mushy), Optifast.

My team defines clear liquids as any that you could read through and full liquids are anything strained that could be sucked up a straw.

Now some people had cautions about straws. My team never gave me that limitation.

so clears were things like: Water, crystal light, coffee, tea, light fruit juices, broths, etc.

Fulls were things like: cream of whatever Soups, Protein shakes, thinned yogurt, anything liquified with a blender or magic bullet, etc.

Hope that helps.

clear liquids are anything you can see to the bottom of the cup.Beer doesn't count.LOL

clear liquids- chicken, beef, veggie broth, jello, crystal light

full liquids- protein shakes(u can add applesauce and peanut butter to shakes not together tho lol), soups (blended and strained) and all of the clear liquids count in this stage 2

I used to work in the hospital and we served these A LOT.

Clear liquids are anything you can see through, broth, jello, italian ice, tea, crystal light...

Full liquids are thicker and not clear. Pudding, cream soup, icecream,milk. and I have actually seen cream of wheat served on the full liquid diet. I wouldnt suggest eating that though, I tried and it made me sick.

Thank you all it helped alot!!!
