Liquid diet need advice



Recommended Posts

So I'm on day 4 of my liquid diet. I'm drinking the Protein Shake from my doctors office and it goes down ok...getting tired of the strawberry...so I tried the Unjury vanilla and I had the worst stomach pains. I just feel nauseated all day after both Protein Shakes. Did anyone else have this problem? I couldn't sleep last night because of my stomach so I finally got up and heated up some milk....you always hear warm milk helps you sleep better LOL....and I ate three triskets. Then I felt better and was able to go back to bed. I am on antibiotics could this be the problem? I take a pill in the morning and at night. I drink it with milk because it tells me to take with milk or food? Will this go away soon because I have to do this liquid diet for two weeks? Any suggestions would be GREAT!!

I'm on day 4 of my liquid diet and I'm drinking Carnation Instant Breakfast with a whey Protein kicker from GNC.

I'm drinking tons of crystal light and when I get "hungry" I either drink more or eat some Jello, so far it's been going good.

I know it's kind of short notice now, but perhaps you can get a different kind of Protein supplement and mix it with something else...

I also used the sugar free Carnation Instant Breakfast and I added 1/3 cup of dry milk to make it 21 grams. I never used any other Protein supplements. I found them in chocolate and vanilla. I also found Sugar Free Torina syrups and add 1Tbsp to change up the flavor. I have raspberry, caramel and for the holiday-gingerbread. I drink them either warm or cold. Hopes this help.

Sometimes if I drink too fast the Protein Drinks will upset my stomach! Make sure you are drinking slow and also try many different types of supplements!!

      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.
