Any Ideas For The Full Liquid Stage??



Recommended Posts

I am post op day 7 and I am getting bored with my liquids. I am hungry but it is manageable. But I am not sure how I will make it through another week of eating liquids only if I don't get some new things in!

Help! :)

Definitely have had popsicles and fudgesicles (SF of course) and my fav Soups strained...I even had some plain SF ice cream that I just let get really soft. :)

I made those instant mash potatoes (the flavored idahoan ones) and added extra extra Water to make them reallllyy liquidy rather than normal thick mashed potatoes. I didn't over eat them though...just used as a separation from the normal plain liquids I was getting bored with. Kind of my treat :) Also, Tomato Soup was one of my favorites and still go back to it when I have one of those days where my band is reallllly tight. For me, Tomato Soup is usually thicker which fills me up more than regular Soups.< /p>

My doctor did not consider yogurt or potatos a liquid. Those are mushies.

For full liquid I really liked Pacific brand sweet red pepper/tomato Soup. I added Mrs Dash unsalted flavorings before heating. The herbs reconstituted and gave the soup a great taste.

As a nurse I can tell you yogurt and pudding are considered a full liquid. My doctor has them listed as full liquids as well. The yogurt cannot have any particles of fruit in it, so I found the toddler/baby yogurts to work. I also got creative with Protein Shakes that I still drink. My favorite one was 1/2 small banana, 1 tablespoon Peanut Butter, 1 cup skim milk and scoop Protein. sweeten to taste and blend with mixer until all liquified.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
