Clear liquid diet

posted 26th Jan
I haven't eaten anything since smurfing Thursday afternoon and I'm starving to death. I'm on a clear liquid diet until Monday and I just feel awful. The only solid food that I've been told I can eat is Jell-O and frankly, it isn't very filling. Other than that I've only been "eating" chicken and beef broth and warm ginger-ale. Any suggestions on what else I should look into buying?

Beverages (drinks):

  • Clear juices (such as apple, cranberry, or grape), strained citrus juices or fruit punch.

  • Mild tea, without cream or milk.

  • Mineral, bubbly, or plain water.

  • Clear soft drinks like ginger ale, lemon-lime soda, or club soda. (No cola or root beer.)

  • Clear sports drinks.

Soup:

  • Clear broth, bouillon, or consommé.


Desserts:

  • Plain popsicles. Avoid popsicles with pureed fruit or fiber in them.

  • Hard candy.

  • Flavored gelatin, such as Jell-O® without fruit. You may also drink gelatin as a warm beverage before it sets.

Other:

  • Sugar, honey, jelly or syrup.

  • Herbs, mild seasonings, or salt.


Found this list on a website that has a care guide for being on a clear liquid diet. Maybe it'll help

I didn't think of popsicles at all. I'm desperate for something hard, even if it will just melt right away. Thanks. I probably should have used google myself, but between not eating and the pain medication, I seem to be a bit slower than usual.

I've googled it before. I had to be on a liquid diet when I had my appendix taken out. I couldn't have much solid food for a month. It was terrible. The only good thing about mine was it wasn't a clear liquid diet so I could have other stuff. Mainly just a lot of super soft things for my solid food like mashed potatoes and apple sauce.
