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!!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
