Clear liquids are tough.  Not much you can do but try to distract yourself from food and keep sipping!

Are you on a PPI like Nexium or Prilosec?  Sometimes the "hungry" feeling is acid and you need an acid inhibitor or reducer to keep it under control.

I'm so glad to hear you are out and doing relatively well!  I hope you get over this hump. Keep us posted on your journey.

Hi there,

I too was sleeved on the 13th.  I'm still in the hospital so all I've been given for the past six days (breakfast, lunch, and dinner)  is protein chicken broth, low cal sorbet, hot tea, and pure protein.  I can't stomach the pure protein and I don't like tea so I've pretty much been living off of my potassium chloride IV.  I'm surprised that you're still on clear liquids.  It seems you should be able to have light yogurt and milk based protein shakes.  Just hang in there...it'll be over soon.

Quite a lot of folks, maybe even the majority, have one full week of clear liquids.  Sorry you are still in the hospital.  I was thinking of you and wishing you an easy recovery.  It's amazing that they have no way of accelerating the release of gas.  Feel better.

Thanks for the well wishes!  I was finally able to pass the gas (and got an ovation from the nurses...lol it was too funny).  I'm home and glad to be here.

Take a look around for the clear protien drinks, IsoPure, Proti-diet and unjury.  Those will help with fluid and protien.  The grape flavoredones are pretty decent in IsoPure and Proti-diet.

I have been getting soups with clear broth and straining them. I had some of the progresso soups broth that were very yummy I am on clear liquids as well. Sticking to water, Crystal light, protein drinks, popsicles, teas and random strained soups.

I did try the sweet and sour soup- but the restaurant I got it from made it too spicy and thick, so I skipped that. I had a vegetable soup and wonton strained w/o issues.

thank you so much for your answer to my direct question . I tried the hot and sour from my local take-out it was so good . but couldn't do it maybe 2 or 3 sips  and it felt like it was going to come up . thanks

yeah, I am also noticing quicker restriction on the broth vs teas, water etc. I get a slight feeling that it's either now going down quickly enough, or it may come up -I still can't finish the broth from a progresso soup I strained last night LOL. I take about 2-3 baby spoons and take breaks in between. On the good side, at least it satisfies my head hunger and my need for some flavor.
