Clear Liquid Question

Hi everybody, Since we have to do the Clear Liquid Diet for 2 weeks. I was wondering if anyone ever seasoned their liquid? I like pepper and was wondering if I should put some into my clear broth? I don't want to mess anything up and i'm already down 10lbs. in 3 days! WOW!! so let me know if you did anything specail or added anything specail to your Liquid Phase thanks

VODKA!!    Just kidding...

Hi Taryn, Are you SURE you are supposed to be on CLEAR liquids for 2 weeks post op?  I had my surgery with Dr Harris 2 months ago and he only wanted me on clear liquids for one or 2 days post op, after that FULL liquids (including protein shakes, cream soups, puddings, yogurt, cream of wheat, pureed foods, etc) for 2 weeks.  You are going to need some nutrition those 2 weeks and clear liquids isn't going to provide you with any nutrition to speak of. With respect to seasoning, your pouch can tolerate any amount of seasoning that you like.  Don't recommend caffeine, however, as that is rather irritating. But please get back to me on whether you meant clear or full liquids.  Do you still have the sheets that Allizon the NUT gave out with post-op guidelines? Hope this helps!

Hi you are right it's FULL LIQUIDS... DUH.. wasn't reading my papers right.. no wonder i'm so hungry LOL.. going to eat now//

Whew!  I was concerned for you there!  LOL  Make sure you keep yourself with something to sip on at all times.  At this stage, dehydration is your greatest battle. Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions or concerns.
