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!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
