Hummmm....
"Secretly delicious liquid combos??"
No can't say that I have any..but I will tell you this...
The first time you have cream of mushroom or chicken soup, it's going to be
THE BEST you ever tasted!!
Good luck and welcome to the losers bench!!

This is my 15th day of full liquids....I usually do my protein shake and coffee throughout the morning....then cream of mushroom soup for lunch....then shake for snack (around 4 pm) and then a delicious organic soup for supper....also, I have done the low fat yogurt snack and/or sugar free puddings if I feel hungry between times. I guess with you doing the clear liquids you will have to stick primarily with LOTS and LOTS of water! you should never be withou****er in your hands...and a toilet nearby. I'm not sure if you can tolerate artificial sweetners if that will help you keep drinking? But you might want to look into this new one that is Mojito flavored you can find at Kroger or Walmart by Crystal Light. It is delicious! And of course you got all your sugar free jellos and broths. If you had some unflavored protein powder you could possibly throw some into some of these things to get in some protein to perhaps keep you feeling fuller longer. And always remember....you can do this!

i'm 5 day s post op, no real problems.  you'll do great.  i would take a small pillow to hold on your tummy after surgery and/or a heating pad for the hospital stay.  when you are moving around and just sitting up in the chair after surgery it will help.  i've been using one at home all week and it feels better.  i haven't been hungry per say, but sometimes miss the activity of cooking a good meal and eating! ha!  good luck!!

on my second week of liquids i missed the crunching of anything... so i chewed on ice and that also helps to get your water in.  don't  stress and take it on day at a time. good luck!!!
