need ideas for healthy liquid calories!

harliquinnraver

My doctor has put me on a liquid diet due to complications I am having from surgery I had on my stomach early last year. He said, "stick with clear liquids that are nutritious".

What exactly does that amount to? I'm drinking water and chicken broth but not getting anywhere near enough calories! Also...where's the nutrition in that??

Skim milk isn't a clear liquid but I'm considering adding it into my diet anyway.

Any suggestions for me so that I can get enough calories? I cannot have anything even remotely fibrous so please bear that in mind. Very acidic liquids are also a no-no.




Help!

Mayo Clinic's list of clear liquids: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/clear-liquid-diet/my00742

Broths and 100% fruit juices are going to be your best bet.

I think apple juice is a clear liquid. And maybe even jello?

For your own saftey don't drink milk if your having surgery this could mess it all up!! But you could have plain geletin

Gatorade, Jello, Apple Juice...

Milk would be bad? Seriously? Wow. It was on the list of liquids I could have before and after my surgery last year...

Can't handle jello. it's too solid.

Apple juice sounds alright though. I'll pick some up today. This chicken broth thing is getting old, quick.
