V-8

I'm still on post-op clear liquids, but feeling pretty yuck with just protein. I'm dying for some vegetables and I never thought I would say that. So, what's the scoop on V-8? Is it clear liquid? Full liquid? Anyone else ever crave V-8?

I think we could have V8 with pureed. If I remember correctly it had too much sugar from the tomato juice for full liquid. You can mix unflavored protein with it. I got the low sodium and thought it was unbelievable nasty. I poured it out. I bought some of the little cans of the regular but have never used it.
I do remember wanting real food. My sister made me pureed homemade chicken soup and pureed chicken and it was the best thing I had ever had. Pureed spinach was terrific, believe it or not. I just wanted something green so bad.

It won't be long before you are eating, I promise. It is hard and I remember being so ready for each and every change.

I started it at about your point out. It's full liquid not clear. Be careful at first. Go easy. I'm drinking it. I get the 6 pack so I am not overwhelmed by any huge amount. But I needed veggies too. Altho it REALLY makes my sleeve gurgle. :)

I don't know much about clear liquid vs full liquid. I would suggest being careful with V8 though. Early out I had issues with tomato soup and anything acidic like that. I would think V8 would be acidic.

But, if you are brave and willing to try (I was with a bunch of stuff....that is why I tried tomato soup a few weeks post op)...go for it! Let us know if you do try it!

I think I drank V8 (Well, Trader Joe's version) at the full liquid stage for the same reasons as you--I was dying from all the sweet and wanting veggies SO BADLY. But you can always ask Gaby if it's ok. I didn't ask her. I just did it. Oops. (Do as I say, not as I do, I guess!)

Well, here is what Gaby told me.

Days 6-10 of clear liquids, V8 is OK but must be diluted with water.

Can't wait to have a sip or two tomorrow. I think it will be better than the carrot juice off the canned carrots I was thinking about.

And, I'll take it slow just in case it is too acidic.

Awesome! :) I'm glad it's been approved! I bet it tastes like the best damn V8 you've ever had, diluted or not. That's how I felt about the first non-broth, non-sweet thing I had. :D

I loved the Trader Joe's Organic Creamy Tomato Soup during the full liquid stage. I also really liked their Cuban Black Bean soup during that stage.

Just be careful about the sodium content if you're not getting in your full water rations at this point.
