3 Week Liquid Phase...any Ideas?



Recommended Posts

OK, I am going on day 5 of liquids of three weeks. So far i have had Water, sf Jello, diluted juices, and broth. Any other ideas to mix it up that worked for you? I made my family a chicken crock pot meal tonight & I strained some of the drippings & added to my boring chicken broth...yum! I also got some of the onion broth that they serve at our local hibachi/sushi place. Cant find sugar free popsicles here??? Just looking for more ideas. Thanks!

Today is the first day of my 14 day liquid diet....I get 3 packets that I mix with Water a day. Some are Soups some are shakes.....so far I have taken 3 sips of the first then threw it out and 2 sips of the second and threw it out....I'm getting the third one down. I envy those that can have regular broth or even a few veggies.

I just added a Protein shake today & yuck!!! I HATE milk & to eat that at room temp is worse! So what I did was add a little frozen pineapple & mango to add flavor and blended it smooth. I am freezing it and then going to try it that way. I'll let it melt in my mouth first. Do you think I will have problems with the fruit so early in this process? Only 5 days out...

You'd better be careful with the fruit. Even tho the sugars in fruit are natural they're still sugars. My surgeon suggested frozen berries as far as eating fruit. I'd try adding ice, blending it and add fruit essence or extracts. I'm not sure about extracts as far as how healthy they are but essences purchased at health food stores would be best so soon after your surgery. Good luck! You could probably try nectar Protein or soy if the whey is not your thing too. Look up bariatriceating on line. They have a good selection.

Sorry I'm revising my statement. It's Bariatric Choice, not Bariatric Eating that I was thinking of.

Thanks Blankmama- my adding frozen mango & pineapple failed miserably! Made it taste worse! I think I need a different Protein powder or drink.

      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.
