So Sick of the Liquid Diet



Recommended Posts

I had GS surgery on 9/13 and I've rebounded so much better than I ever thought. No real pain to speak of, or any complications. Between the two weeks before and the last five days I'm sick to death of these Protein shakes and this liquid phase. I've enjoyed some SF Jello and pudding here and there and some Tomato Soup and broth but I am so ready for some other food!!!!!!! I can't take it anymore lol!!!!

Yeah, it gets old, but it's for the best. It's more of a prescription than a suggestion because you're healing. Your time for real food will come soon enough.

I'm also a 9/13!!! Hi, you are quite fortunate...for the gas and bloating I have had are most frustrating. I've also been up and about more than I or even some others, thought I would be. That part is good! Good luck with pureed food stage--I'm so looking forward to making some good healthy fresh veggie /protein blended Soups as Autumn arrives!

I'm 9/15, clear liquid only. I'm confused how to reach 800 calories??

I was told not to count calories at that stage. If you're allowed Protein shakes - that's really the only calories you'd be getting. Are you getting any Protein?
Yes, 1 shake a day at least, it's about 33g protein and 200 calories. There's no way I could get in 4 of those to meet my 80-100 protein goal.

That doesn't sound possible with clear!!!

I don't think it is. It'd be like 50+ popsicles lol.

Keep trying and do the best you can! Protein is critical to healing and weight loss! Just keep sipping! You will feel so much better when you're able to meet protein and Fluid goals!!! Hang in there @@rolosmom7 !

Thanks. I'm asking for some applesauce (SF) to be permitted to help swallow meds. I have an extremely strict surgeon, but I don't see how the applesauce could hurt 5 days out?

Hopefully can get a 2nd shake in tonight.

I was sleeved on 9/13 and dr says full liquids until 9/27. I cannot get enough Protein in at all and am very weak. I feel fine as far as pain goes as there is none of that. I just cannot do anything.

I have eaten yogurt, drank shakes and sipped tea all day. But seriously what can you do for weakness. Feel like I have been drained of everything I have.

      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!
