Anyone Else On Liquid Diet For Thanksgiving?



Recommended Posts

My surgery is the 19th so I BETTER :-) be home on Thanksgiving but just turkey broth for me. To all the ladies cooking that meal so soon after surgery, my hat is off to you! I just feel bad for my poor hubby. Having my mom bring him a plate.

My surgery is the 12th and I started liquids on the 7th....I fixed a small thanksgiving dinner last Sunday for my hubby and kids still at home. They will all have thanksgiving on Saturday after my surgery so maybe having done that I want feel like I have missed out on so much. Good luck to all of you it will all be worth it.

Hey my new wls family.... Just thought I would drop by and say hey and good luck to the people having surgery today ya'll are in my prayers... On a side note my doctor requires a 2 week liquid diet for surgery so I will be starting that soon and will be on it through thanksgiving which will be tough so my family decided to surprise me this weekend with a thanksgiving dinner at my house and the best part was I didn't even have to cook any of it lol.... I sure do love my family and how supportive they are :)

      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.
