Hi,

had my band surgery today:biggrin: and I am in need of some good clear liquid ideas. I am getting burned out on apple juice and popsicles. Any ideas are appreciated, BTW, pain is not too bad, i have already had two walks todays.:thumbup:

Michelle

miso Soup, white grape fruit juice, crystal light popsicles. sugar free Jello in every flavor known to mankind

I was just at an Asain grocery store the other day and they have broths in every flavor: shrimp, spicy shrimp, crab, fish, beef, chicken, etc. I was so happy as I am starting my 2 weeks clear liquid tommorrow...

Glad you are doin ok and congrats on the band!!!!

Thank you for your suggestions. I am not sure why, but I had to do clear liquids for 2 days prior to my surgery. I keep seeing where most people had to do 2 weeks prior to surgery. Man, that has got to be tough. I will say a prayer for you.

I tried just buying broth in chicken and beef but I wouldn't stand the taste. I resorted to just using the flavoring packet in ramen noodles. no noodles, just broth. Since I love ramen, it was a good staple for me.

Marie, try adding the ramen seasoning packet to the chicken or beef broth you purchased - that way you get the flavor and the needed protein.

I was not aware that the ramen seasoning packet or broth had much protein....how much do they contain?

Thans for the ideas. especially the ramen noodles. I love those. Here is a dumb ???? How do I get my weight loss ticker on my signature. I created one, but can't figure out how to get it to post...

I used to live on ramen noodles. Read the label. The seasoning is very high in sodium and other things not so good for you. I highly recommend unjury chicken broth flavored Protein powder - 21g or protein. It calls for 1 scoop in 8 oz of Water, but I usually double the water. I also add it to mashed potatoes to add more protein.

Isopure protein waters have 40g of protein in a 20oz bottle. They come in several flavors. I get them at GNC, which has a lot of other Protein drinks.

I think one package of ramen seasoning has 10g Protein.

For your ticker, you get the code when you are done creating it, and then copy and paste it into your signature.

Isopure available at GNC stores...is a cyrstal lite like drink with 40 grams Protein in a 20oz bottle

I have 2 days clear liquids also prior to surgery...not sure why either.

I was the same way two days prior to my operation I had to start liquids and I was banded july 6 I'm still on clear liquids only I will try the roman with out the noodles I'm sick of beef and chicken as well wish that they would market stuff in the stores other then those two flavors.

I agree!! Unjury is at the top of my reccommendation list. I had the chicken Soup flavor for Breakfast every day post-op until I ran out.

Such great information, thanks everyone! Where you do get this Unjury soup/broth?

You can only get it online at unjury.com, but they ship pretty quickly. So you won't have it today, but in a coupla days when you get it, it will be a welcomed change.

I'm almost 2wks out and I had to do clear liquids before and after as well. Told me that help shrink the liver and fat for surgery.Thanks for the info for protein powder looking for unflavored one so I will go on injury website and check it out.
