Question:
Can someone send me a list of the liquids I can have after the surgery.

Please send me a list of the liquids I can have right after the WLS right after, especially any that you have found to really be great.    — Carol F. (posted on April 15, 2001)

LOL! Oh..... you mean the ones that taste REALLY GREAT! Sorry, darlin', that list is SHORT! :-) I don't mean to be negative, but I have found ONE protein drink that I can stand to drink. It's Extreme Pure Pro from Vitalady.com. The Grape flavor is excellent. Other than that, I was able to have clear broth, jello, milk, and juice. Here's a cool tip! I did it while I was still pre-op, and I'm SO glad I did now! Make your own broth. Throw a whole chicken in a pot of water and boil the daylights out of it! I'm talking 2 whole hours.... then strain the broth, and let it cool in the frig to a gelatin state. Scrape all of the fat off and throw it away and pop the broth in the microwave to remelt it. THEN pour it in some ice cube trays and freeze. These cubes are lifesavers when you get home from the hospital and they have NO added sodium like the canned broths. Tastes so much yummier too! Good luck!

You can have any liquids. Crystal light has a lot of different flavors. They even have a decaffienated (sic) tea. I like the pink grapefruit, it has extra calcium. You can also have water, broth, sugar free jello, sugar free popsicles. Just about anything that does not have any sugar, caffeine or high calories. Water is VERY important.
