Is Everything So Sweet

[tovanta 49]

Hello to everyone..... I am 8 days post op and cant wait to move forward......my problem is the sweetness of everthing in my full liquid stage....my Protein, my vitamens, popcycles, ect......Now let me share with you ....my initial body fat did not derive from sweets,,,,,,I was a food girl ....you know collard greens fried chicken, pork chops, rice and gravy ect.....I even made the mistake to purchase several packs of sweet propell Water...thinking this would be better for me

I am getting nauseated from all this sweetness.....I drink alot of Soup to attempt to override this .....it is becoming difficult to swallow my protien and my vitamens which is something that I must ingest. Can someone pass words of wisdom to me.....Oher than my broth and Soups I dont have any other outlet.....Help me

Once I got to full liquids my doc approved vegetable juices ( but recommended watering them down to help with their acidity). I had to thin them out with Water because too thick made me feel sick! I personally am not a sweet food/drink lover and appreciated this. Slices of cucumber or mint are nice in water instead of sweet things and very refreshing this time of year. You can add a scoop of Unjury unflavored whey Protein to cold veg juice and you don't really even know it's there but you get 20g protein and 100 cal.

I am the same, the sweets were just too much for me. I drank V8 at least once a day. Just be sure you are taking a PPI. I thinned my Protein Drink to make it less sweet and added unflavored Protein to anything I could Soups, V8, etc so I didn't have to drink as much protein drink.

I don't like sweets either. These were approved by my doctor for the liquid diet: plain Greek yogurt and sugar free pudding with Protein Powder in it. There were a bunch of others, but I can't remember them. Sorry.

No sugar added applesauce is less sweet

Instant mashed potatoes w/unflavored Protein

Soupy grits w/unflavored Protein

eggs

Soupy oatmeal

So much of my body fat did come from sweets but I'm had the same problem. Water with lemon or lime breaks the sweetness. I also added black pepper to my Soups for a bit of spiciness.
