Questions ..clear liquids?
Ok, they told me in the hospital...only clear liquids. I
have unjury no flavor..but the only way I can drink it is
in diet V-8Splash with some carbmaster yougurt in it.
That is not clear liquid. I read somewhere you can put
protein shots in jello right? I'll have to do that when I get home. I don't know how they will get that down me in
a clear water....

Ronda, check out the latest post feature for Pam Davis. Protein shots may not be the best choice. She replied to another poster about the protein shots in jello option.
Also, you have stores of protein. If you don't get the recommended amount right off the bat you 'll still be OK. For us DS'ers thats 80-100 grams! You work up to that over the weeks following surgery. Liquids are another story. You don't store them and need to avoid dehydration. Broth, plain s/f jello, caffeine free iced tea, etc. are on your meal tray at the hospital post-op. Just eat & drink what you're served in the hospital when you get home.

Thanks Ronda I have got to get in them fluids. I am starting to feel a little weak. The only time I ever drank anything before surgery was when I ate. Now im not eating so I don`t want to drink. I am sip sip sipping and hoping I am doing enough. Never thought it would be so hard for me. Good luck on your clear liquids.
I have really grown to love the fuzzy navel. I have tried it with the orange cl but I like it with the fruit punch cl better. I mix the one scoop with a 20 oz water with 1 cl packet.
If you mix it at night and leave it in the fridge over night..It will be much better than mixing and drinking right away.
