Full Liquid Diet - What Can I Eat?



Recommended Posts

I am on the full liquid diet now. My dietician gave me a list of 5 things I can have. Most before surgery were great, but with the change in my stomach I can't eat them all now. Her list is skim milk, strained Soups made with skim milk, sugar and fat free pudding or yogurt, Protein supplements, and no ice cream. So wait.....that's really only 3 things. Please help me!!!! What was or is your favorite thing to eat on the full liquid diet???? I'm going crazy!

I'm beginning the second week of my pre-op diet. I'm living on sugar free pudding and low fat-no chunks yogurt. Sugar free popsicles taste like crap, but I eat them anyway. you can have sugar free Jello. I eat a TON of cream of mushroom Soup. I have lost 8 pounds in 6 days.

Apparently my dietician - the woman who gave me 100 pages of literature and guidelines for this liquid diet did not verify it with my surgeon! I am not even full liquids - I am Clear Liquids only for TWO more weeks. I am only a week out and only had two bites of pudding so I didn't really break the rules but come on!!! Ugh. This is so hard.

Oh ya I can sympathize. I was sleeved on the 15th and am already sick of the clear liquid diet which is two weeks long as well. One can only drink so much broth and juice. Full liquids seem like heaven to me.

I did Clear Liquids only 3 days but it was a lot of diff broths. My dad would make a stew and I would have the broth from it. chicken and veggies in the crock pot then skim the fat off. Same for cabbage and corned beef Soup. Also au ju sauce is really delicious. Try diff varieties of crystal light or diet snapple, watered down apple juice. Hope that helps.

      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.
