Hi everyone. I am scheduled for surgery Monday, July 2nd. I am on my 1 week pre-op liquid diet and it's not so bad. My question is, should these be clear liquids only or can they be any liquids? I love cream of chicken soup and that is what I have been having along with crystal light and sugar free jellos and popsicle. Am I doing this right? Please advise. Thanks!

Hi, Yamil! Check with your dietictian or surgeon for guidelines. I am not allowed to have anything but clear liquids (besides the protein drinks). Not even SF pudding! Drat!!! Good Luck, Jean

Hi Yamil From what I understand it's entirely clear My list is very short chicken or beef broth sf popsicles, water, grape juice,(white or purple)? sf jello But you must check with your Dr. I am going to add wonton broth to it .....it's clear and I like it better than reg. broth. only have to do the LD thing the day before... I go in a day after you. Good Luck!!! Carla
