Liquid diet protein

[heidikate 49]

Hi y'all

How many carbs and sugars are allowed per day on liquid diet ?

And

Is it 60 or more grams of Protein per day?

What is recommended for grams of

Protein

Carbs and

Sugars

For each meal on liquid diet?

Every person is different as far as Protein goals mine is 70 gms. But I don't know about carbs etc during preop bc My Drs staff and dietician just says I can have sugar free pudding, skim milk, Soups, 1-2 Protein Shakes a day, and pretty much anything liquid and sugar free. I haven't paid attention to anything else and as far as I know I don't need to. Then after surgery I think it's just important to get fluids and protein in and as u progress to stay low fat, no sugar no carbs until u reach goal and beyond. Hope that helps.

Yes absolutely!!

Thank you so much!

Have you had your surgery yet?

Pre op diet is to shrink the liver, go as low carb as possible, between 20-30 a day, but confirm with your doc and nut. Protien is minimum 60, but depends on individual. Because of my size, I target 100-110 daily

I had surgery yesterday and will be in the hospital til tomorrow. It was a fairly fast surgery everything went well. I'm having a hard time drinking still and my nausea is still pretty bad. They switched my pain medicine to a liquid I have to drink and I can't drink it fast enough so I'm not getting my pain completely under control yet

So glad the surgery went well!

I'll keep praying that your nausea subsides and you can get your pain under control.. Please keep us posted!

Tomorrow is orientation and meeting with surgeon.

Surgery is at least a month or two or three away for me

God bless

Surgeon is requiring me to drop 20

[dream_small 15]

You can do it!!!

[heidikate 49]

Thanks!

I was doubting whether to have the surgery..

But today I didn't do as well on my diet and cheated ( I've lost 8 pounds in 8 days)

Surgery is what I need for sure!

How are you doing Dream?

I'm doing ok. I am two weeks out tomorrow and I'm still on liquids until my first post op appt on Thursday. I'm not very sore and haven't been taking pain meds for around a week. My problem is I'm not drinking enough fluids in general and not enough Protein either. I've got to get better bc I've been dizzy and literally have no energy. My dr will not be happy if I don't get a little better at it. The problem is I have to write everything down and keep reminder alarms bc I forget to eat unless I'm bored....And head hunger is real!!! It's really hard just being on liquids but I'm hoping once I'm on puréed foods and can "chew" it will be better.
