Clear Liquids, not so clear
Jan 22, 2010
Milestones - Completed my EGD and Bloodwork. Rescheduled pre-op education class for when my husband can come with me.I have been doing a "clear" liquid diet as directed 2 weeks prior to surgery. Challenges this weekend include husband's return, birthday for 14-yr old, and lots of time around a house full of things I can't eat.
I have been asking my kids to make some of their own meals. We avoided pizza night. The pasta they ate sounded good but the smell made me nauseous.
I have had broth and consommee and A LOT of sugar free jello. I bought the unflavored Isopure to add to stuff per nutritionist. I noticed that this does not make it clear after added.
And unflavored is a misnomer. I added some unflavored protein to a vitawater and the frothy cloudy drink was difficult to choke down. Added to the broth it is not so bad but I cant see adding it to eggs and other favorites in the future. Un flavored my a$$!
I did find out that I adore the Isopure Zero Carb RTD Alpine Punch that came in my protein samples from barieatric eating. I am going to purchase some of these for future use. I will shop around for best price but this was definitely a good flavor.
I am taking an ounce- a -day Liquiimax multi-vitamin I got from Costco. Not bad. I also have the bariatric advantage chewables. I am adding the calcium chews for now. I may wait the b complex and other special one for post surgery since the liquimax contains those and for now I have a normal stomach.
EGD was painless but the loss of a whole day to sleeping was not good. I needed to try working from home. I hope to work from home for a few days after the surgery in February.
I keep plugging along.
