What to eat on "full liquid" fase?



Recommended Posts

I'm one week out today, done with Clear Liquids and starting tomorrow full liquids. Question: besides Protein Shakes what can I have? My discharge papers doesn't say too much besides I would appreciate suggestions from you guys. After one week of just Gatorade, Water and chicken broth I need some substance without compromising my baby sleeve. ; )

I was told anything that would pass through a straw (but not to use the straw. I had Protein Shakes, Water, propel zero, tea, drinkable yogurt (highly recommended by my nut) and I added Unjury Protein Powder to every kind of broth and creamed Soup I could find....diluted and strained the cream Soups.< /p>

Good luck and congrats!

My experience with Dr Fernando Garcia and Ready 4a Change was absolutely PERFECT. I cannot put in any other way. From the beginning very easy and fast communication with the company here in the US thru Alma, to the day I set feet down here in Florida back again. Everything they said they would do and everything I expected they delivered with great professionalism and human touch. When I got to San Diego airport, the driver Samuel was there already. We crossed the border and he took me to Marriott Hotel, where I experienced a Marriott quality stay first night. The coordinator Irene came to welcome me at the hotel and to tell me I was not alone (I went alone). She answered all my questions and eased my doubts. Next day I was timely took to Oasis Hospital - small, but seems a well and full equipped hospital - and clean, very clean- where I was greeted by Eduardo, who took me to my private room (with one extra bed for companion, a recliner and private bathroom). Nurses checking on me all the time. They gave me the stocking socks and a pair of slippers. Right after that Hector took me to the lab for all tests. After that Dr Garcia came to my room and spent a long long time just answering my questions and giving me a lesson about the surgery - can you feel the human touch do far??? - My surgery was much easier than what I had anticipated. No gas - none, no pain, nada. I felt a little discomfort coming out the anesthesia but other than that I felt like I slept for 5 minutes and woke up sleeved. I didn't feel any pain on my stitches. I might have a high tolerance for pain, idk but I didn't feel any worse than coming out of 100 belly crunches in a typical afternoon at the gym. I spent two nights at the hospital taking all the ivs , antibiotics, pain medicine etc and nurses coming to check on me on the clock. Dr Velasco came to visit me and again spent a long time talking, answering, teaching. She removed my drain ( first ouch for me ) and my staples. She had the same surgery and she looks great. They discharged me and gave me a bag with all the medication and tests results, a cd with my leaking test and a stomach stuffed animal - I know it's not an animal but I don't know any other way to call a fluffy smily stuffed stomach- I asked for 2 of them because I have twins. They took me back to the Marriott where Irene was to greet me. I spent two nights taking easy, resting, watching tv, reading and talking to my twins on the phone (I used viber app) while sipping on the free chicken broth, gello and Popsicle as they promised. Hotel and hospital with Wi-Fi so I had communication with the rest of the world at any time. Besides hospital allowed me to make calls to the US at no charge. A day before coming back, I was felling pretty good so I took a cab from the hotel and asked the driver to take me to the mall to buy a gift to my twins. I went to Plaza del Rio. It's a mall with sears and everything. I asked him to pick me up promptly 1 hour later which he did.I spent that last night at the hotel when in the am they took me to San Diego airport. The border this time was very busy. It would take about two hours to cross it if the driver didnt have a special pass made for medical situations and it costs 20 dollars to the driver. So we could take the special lane to cross the border. Very fast. I was sorry about the people on the regular lane but well I had a major surgery and 20$ was paid. Back home I am following the instructions they provide in a cute folder together with the medicine and all. My stitches are great healing very well. Today May 18th I'm 9 days out and feeling just fine. Still struggling with the post op diet, but very glad my experience was perfect. I can't ask for more. Now it's on me for the success of my sleeved body. I'm up for any question. I'm going to copy and paste this answer and post it on the Mexico and self paid forum.

      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.
