First day of liquid diet



Recommended Posts

I expected to feel like I was starving but after drinking the Protein shakes, I really didn't want to eat..even when I was offered delicious food. Nobody can throw down on some boneless chicken breasts like me but when I tried to eat it, I felt nauseous like someone offered me a dead mouse. I find this strange but who knows, maybe I can manage to get through the next 3 weeks without cheating. anyone else felt like this? also, how was the first day of your diet?

How long will your liquid diet be? I found that after 4-5 days it wasn't that bad. When I had all my Protein and wanted something I had warm savory broth and that did the trick. I just wish I hadn't gained back all the weight I lost on the liquid diet while in the hospital.

That SUCKED :-(

My pre op diet is for 3 weeks. I'm sure you'll be fine,I've heard about people gaining weight while at the hospital and then drop it all off soon after =]

I am scheduled for surgery in Austin, TX on 01/14/2014. I only have to do a pre op diet for 2 weeks which is 900 calories a day which contain no more than 30 g of carbs, 10g of fat, and a minimum of 70g of Protein a day. I do a Protein shake for Breakfast and lunch. I ate egg whites yesterday because I hit a starving moment and it did the job. Then for dinner I am eating salads, green Beans, broccoli, or some other green vegtable and about 10 ounces of grilled chicken breast. So far I am on my 3rd day and its not as bad as I thought it was going to be. But I can see what people mean when they refer to head hunger and after surgery when I am on complete liquids only, I hope that I feel just as satisfied now. This is definitely a lifestyle change and I have learned so much already in my journey. I wish you luck on your journey and your upcoming surgery.

Mamato2, my doctor gave me a whole bunch of print outs with his post op diet, here is mine as follows:

Stage 1 diet(Weeks 1 &2 Clear liquid diet) such as:

sugar free Jello

sugar free popsicles

crystal light

sugar free kool aide

propel and other calorie free flavored Water

Water

broth

Protein drings clear only

Stage 2 (Weeks 3-4 is full liquid and weeks 5-6 is pureed foods)

such as:

3-4 weeks

fat free milk

low fat Soups (strained or blended in a blender)

light (sugar free) yourgurt

5-6 weeks

baby food from the jar (meats and veggies only

cottage cheese

pureed Beans

pureed tofu

any other soft lean meats (no beef) or well cooked non startchy veggie

Stage 3 (Weeks 6-12) soft diet

tender meats (no beef)

flaky fish (avoid shell fish)

low fat cheese

egg whites(eggbeaters)

Beans

tofu

soft fruits on occasion

well cooked or canned veggies

Stage 4 Regular Diet 12 weeks on

Start introducing regular food one at a time to see what you can tolerate

I hope this helps and I hope your physician gives you some sort of guidance. Ask them if they can give you print outs with suggestions. I forget everything so the prints helped me. Keep me updated on your surgery. May we both have a smooth and easy recovery.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
