I cant stand liquids



Recommended Posts

Been on liquids 2 weeks pre op + 1 week post op.... I cant do it anymore. Someone else feels the same?

I hate them too. I have to stick with it though. I cant take the risk of a leak.

Everyone feels this way. You're almost at the pureed phase. Keep up with the program, it's very important.

My program was as follows;

2 week before surgery - Meal Replacement shakes

Day before surgery- Clear Liquids

Post-op

Week 1 -2: liquid diet

Week 3: pureed phase

Week 4 - 5: soft food

Week 6 and beyond: all food as tolerated

The time feels like forever now, but you'll be on soft foods in no time.

Your new pouch is at a higher risk for leaks until 6 weeks post op.

If you go too fast you can cause a hole between staples or displace the staples which can lead to a hole and a leak. You dont want this...its no good.

      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.
