Thank you for sharing your experience and the information about your diet. I was on the jello, broth, sherbet diet for four days while in the hospital. Lost 8 pounds in 10 days between the hip surgery and the perforated colon. For you, 30 days on clear! Wow, that had to be a tough time. How are you feeling now, a year later?? I've tried a "soft" food diet the last couple days.... Activa yogurt, to try and add back the good gut bacteria , soups, with a pancake or toast once a day. With soft food and antibiotics, I still have steady level 4 pain. I will definitely get some Boost Breeze. I'm diabetic, and my readings are higher than usual, so I'll need to check the sugar. Yes, this next month, with Christmas gatherings, will not be about food!
