Loving my full liquids stage, but oh, so time consuming!



Recommended Posts

I am loving my second stage, for me it is full liquids... I am not much of a cook, but I am enjoying preparing my creamy veggie Soups and liquified fruit juices. As much as I am enjoying it, I would love to have someone full time to prepare this stuff for me when I go back to work... I am allowed to work from home but preparing this is time consuming... I will have to set up "short meetings" for myself to be able to go to the kitchen and prepare my stuff. Any tips to preparing things faster? I was thinking keep fruit already peeled and in cubes ready to throw in my magic bullet to save some time, but this would have to be done every morning and only for the day. Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

Blessings to all!

Wow ... Lucky girl. I'm still in the second stage diet but not allowed fruits (except banana) until the forth stage diet.

Really?? Definitely every doctor has a different program, I've read of people going from Clear Liquids to pureed food. I am happy with the Soups and juices, but it takes me forever to finish each drink! LOL.

When was your surgery?

      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.
