Surviving the liquid stage



Recommended Posts

broth can get tiring. I mostly did Protein Shakes made with Water because my liquid diet was pretty strict. But you just have to stick it out. How long is yours?

It sucks, I hear ya. You just have to power through it as best u can, knowing it's only temporary helps. I'd like to know too how long you are on liquids. I was on a preop diet then 1 week clears and am nearing the end of my 1 week full liquids.

I am on full and go back Monday for advance to soft foods. The full liquids give you more to play with...Me and Tomato Soup have become best friends.

My savior during the first 2 weeks was creamed Soup cooked and then strained this opened me up to many options. The headaches maybe dehydration or withdrawal from caffeine. It will pass but definitely tell your surgeon. Good luck with you follow up appt.

Hi there. Full liquids got old fast. I dreamt of food I felt like I was never going to eat real food again. I was on full liquids for 2 weeks.

Suggestion: don't just eat broth. My doctor allowed any puréed Soup. I just had to purée it then strain it. There are so many great Soups out there. I got progressive brand but on the soup isle there were all kinds of bisques. My absolute favorite is Amy's, Thai soup. I had a new soup every day.

I was also aloud to have SF pudding and Popsicle.

Good luck!!!

      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?

      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.
