You Know You've Been On Liquid Protein Too Long, When:



Recommended Posts

I have been on liquids for 3 days now. Today I went to bed and said to everyone just wake me up

On nov. 13th ( surgery date) ! The worst part is making dinner for the husband and kids only to have to stare down another protien shake '-'

Ugh, I feel for you... Luckily in my case, my husband does a lot of the cooking anyway, so while I am on Protein, I stay out of kitchen when husband and kids eat.

You've been drinking Liquid Protein too long when you smell the shake and gag... :huh: I'm SICK of shakes now even though I can eat a little, I still can't eat enough to stop drinking them.

You know you have been on a liquid diet when ur fiancé has his arm around you and you think to yourself if he would still marry you if you chopped off his arm, marinated it and BBQ it...

You made me laugh out loud. I needed that!

I hear ya! I cooked on the weekend for the whole week for my family. Fortunately, my husband is easy! So he just heated up what he wanted each night while I had even more Campbell's Tomato soup!

When you can't even get through 1/4 of an up&go...not because of ur small stomach, but because u just can't do it!!

BTW I'm on soft foods now but my morning Protein shake or up&go ritual is now intolerable!

      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.
