Clear liguid diet

Good morning everyone. I am scheduled to have WLS next week and I still can not grab my hands arond - clear liquid diet.   Does this mean - SF jello, SF icepops, and chicken broth, hot tea? Any help that anyone can give me is so greatly appreciated.   Thanks

That is about right.  The tea should be sugar free and decaffinated.  You can also have sugar free juices or waters (Crystal Light, Fruit 2O, Propel).

Yup thats what it means... The first day was the hardest for me. But it was the thought of I am FINALLY have surgery that kept me going during my clear liquid phase.. Best of luck to you and i will keep you in prayer! Lois

Clear liquids are anything you can see through - not cloudy.  All must be decaf and sf.  So yup.... sf ice pops sf jello broth (beef, chicken, veggie)  Pre op I would suggest low sodium Decaf tea, no milk, can sweeten with splenda Crystal Lite or SF kool aide Water water water! Also, instead of the broth, you can buy chicken noodle soup and strain everything out except the broth.  It has more flavor than just canned stock/broth. Hang in there - it's worth it.  And if you are on clear liquids after surgery, it is MUCH easier than it was before surgery. Good luck! Pam
