Liquid diet stressing...



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow is 1 week left until the best decision of my life (April 10 is my sleeve surgery). I was only to do a 1000 calorie diet 2 weeks preop which I've been following - tomorrow I want to change to an all liquid diet for the rest of the time. I've read a lot of people's plans have them doing a liquid diet preop. So I put the question out there- what are some of your go to sugar free, fat free liquid items you do for the liquid diet you're on.. I plan on doing 3 shakes a day, possibly 4, with sugar free jellos and popcicles. Anything else I should try?!

It's really tough, I am on day 7 of my 14 day liquid only diet. 3 Protein Shakes and I eat broth, sugar free Jello and sugar free popsicles. I enjoy eating broth from my favorite chinese restaurant's egg drop Soup. (This was approved by my Dr.) It's getting old, and I'm hungry. I keep thinking "I have at least 3 more weeks of Clear Liquids? " ughhh. I keep thinking I want to reschedule my surgery for fall :( But, my family won't let me...haha

I'm on my last day of my liquid diet. Post op 6 days! Tomorrow morning I'm gonna have an egg for Breakfast. I'm sure it will be the best one I've ever had. It hasn't been easy but it's going to be worth it. I'm not "hungry" but I have cravings and watching the family eat has been kinda hard.

      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.
