Full liquid diet.... any new ideas?



Recommended Posts

I've been on the "full liquid diet" for about a week now, my surgery was 10 days ago. At first it was pretty good but now I'm so sick of the sweet shakes. Ive tried diluted ones with Water and milk and still can't stand them! My calorie intake was way too low and I was feeling really weak. I need to up my calories.

I decided to try the Unjury chicken Soup with Swanson chicken broth, that really hit the spot! It was really savory and satisfying. Since then I have added Tomato Soup to it.

Last night I made Tomato soup with non fat milk and added the Unjury 1/2 scoop unflavored protien powder, that was really good too and today had strained cream of chicken soup mixed with non fat milk. I heated it, strained it and then added 1/2 scoop of the protien powder. Remember the 140 degrees rule.

And one other find, Bariatric Advantage "Orange Creme" not sickening sweet. I mixed with non fat milk and ice in my Magic Bullet...... so good!

If anyone has some recipes to help get through the " full liquids " phase and keep our protien intake up please share.

It's now my 4th day after surgery and my surgeon said I could have 3 tablespoons of baby food three times per day along with the Protein Shakes. Is this too early to introduce baby food in your diet? I had an upper GI done in the hospital to see whether I had any leakage and I passed. No leaks. Maybe that's why he let me have the baby food. The three tablespoons really hit the spot.

No soft food for me yet. I get to have it at 3 weeks.

Interesting comments about the baby food. I'm seeing my surgeon and nutritionist on the 18th and will bring it up. Meanwhile I'll go easy on the baby food even though I'm tolerating it well.

I went to my support group the other night and found out that being on the full liquid diet I could have smoothys and Soup as long as its strained and has no lumps or seeds. I'm so happy! I had vegetable soup today that I blended to a smooth cream soup. Delish! I really needed the change from Protein Drinks and the Unjury soup. Even though the Unjury is ok I needed a change.

I saw my nutritionist yesterday and we (four sleeve patients who had surgery around the 9th and 10th) have now graduated to a soft diet, I.e. cottage cheese, Apple sauce, mushed up cooked veggies. No beef pork or lamb. The portions are extremely small but that's all my sleeve stomach can take .Of course, you have to listen to your own body which will tell you whether you're ready for the soft diet or not. I can even have shaved chicken breast from the deli!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
