Question about liquids! Please help!



Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm new to this forum. And have a question for my fellow sleevers. I know we are not supposed to mix solids and liquids when we eat. I just was wondering on the timing between. I've read many different things. My food guide says 30 mins before and to wait 60-90 mins after to consume liquids. I have another book that tells me 30mins after. I was wondering what others have been told about this?

Thanks!

Well my nutrionist told me do not eat within 15 minutes of drinking something. If you eat something you must wait 45minutes before drinking something.

The overall results that i have read state: Do not to drink with food, Do not drink 30 min before or after your meal. Basically by drinking you are able to eat more and that contradicts the reason for having surgery done to begin with.

      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.
