What clear liquids did you have after surgery?



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I am being banded in 8 days and wanted to ask you all what kinds of Clear liquids did you have once you left the hospital ? Ones you really liked?

My surgery will be a few days before Christmas and my extended family have a major feast on the 24th. I dont feel sad that i can't have what they are all having but i do want to have something nice too. My mum is going to make me home made chicken broth as i LOVE her chicken Soup, i will just have the broth no chunks.

Any ideas would be great.

Night Night From Australia!!

SF Popsicles. Make sure you have Popsicles!!!!! I am 6 days post op and had trouble early on. Popsicles were the only thing that I could keep down.

Im sorry you are going thru such a hard time with your friend, but taking this journey is hard in every way but so special too. She is scared to be left behind on the fat road and is in heart ache to see you jumping on board the WLS bandwagon. Just be a great example a kind and loving one even if she is not. Fighting fire with fire doesnt work using cool Water does.

Thanks everyone, great ideas. I wish we had sugar free ice pops but they dont sell them here, so i will make my own using Gatoraid Zero.

      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.

      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.
