Clear Liquid diet
Allison,
Clear liquids means "anything you can see through" as per the book you get from Dr. Snyder's nutritionist Kim. In prep for my surgery I used broths such as chicken, beef, veggie etc. Crystal light and white grape juice in addition to the water. I also ate jellos of various flavors as essentially it is "clear" liquid too. I am 6 wks. out and doing very well you will do GREAT too! Good luck.

You should also be able to include 'clear' lifesavers (sugar-free hehe), and sugar-free jolly ranchers. The crunch is a nice thing on the clear liquids diet. Or and the butterscotch ones. I am not suggesting you gorge yourself on candy, sugar-free or otherwise, but when the need to crunch something kills you and ice isn't cutting it, these are a better choice than eating "food". Ya know? (((HUGS)))
