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.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
