Question about 2 week liquid diet



Recommended Posts

I'm on day 7 of my 2 week liquid diet and I'm finding everything is running through me. I don't have a gallbladder so this has always been an issue but it's amped up a notch on this liquid diet, did anyone else experience this?

I had this problem on my preop diet. For dinner I started having a small salad with Protein in it. It helped.

Ask your nut or surgeon if there is anything you could add to your diet that would help. I was allowed leafy green veggies and I think this helped with regulation. If your surgeon won't budge, maybe benefiber would help. Easy to mix with your fluids and soluble Fiber helps with both diarrhea and Constipation. (Definitely don't take insoluble fiber like psyllium, though!). Or maybe a dose or two of Imodium to slow down your bowels.

No gallbladder here and I'm like that all the time. I don't start my pre-op diet until the 4th but I know that my Protein Shakes give me diarrhea anyway. I've tried all kinds. A lady on here recommended questran. It's a powder you mix into liquid and drink. By Rx only

I had that issue, gallbladder intact. I just made sure to stay hydrated and in front of it.

      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.

      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.
