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.

      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.
