Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Congrats! I hate this liquid diet. I'm turning into a crybaby! I can see that I will probably be rather emotional after surgery.

ahappycamper 81 Posted November 11, 2016 How are you handling Thanksgiving if your on liquids and surgery is after the holiday? I'll be on my 2 week liquid 500 cal a day diet. Surgery is Nov 29th Sent from my SM-N920T using the BariatricPal App Perhaps some Tomato Soup if that is allowed per your doctor recommended diet? Some of those are low in calories, but I don't know about sugar/carbs/fat. Definitely check with your nutritionist. I'm sure they hear that question a lot.

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I'm sorry you're on a liquid diet. At least after surgery you get full faster so maybe it won't be so hard, but before surgery nothing has changed so I can't imagine how hard that is.

I use adobo seasoning with pepper from the my Latin market to add flavor to my broth, which I love. Others have said they made broth with carrots, celery, seasoning, then strained it to add more flavor. I also found a Thai seasoned chicken stock (nutritional information fit guidelines of what I could have) at my local Wegman's. I'd probably be okay with that and Protein Shakes. Maybe have a caramel flavored one (premiere Protein is what I use) for "dessert". Sent From BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Xombae 113 Posted November 11, 2016 My surgery was Nov 4th. I'm a week post op. I got the preop jitters the morning of my surgery. My surgeon went over the complications of the surgery with my husband and I, and he said he's never seen or heard of anything happening in surgery. It's how well YOU follow directions post op. You'll be fine just follow your post op diet, walk around every hour, and keep hydrated and you'll be on the right track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Penhook 12 Posted November 11, 2016 Don't be scared. I was. But it was not anywhere as bad as I thought it would be. I had the sleeve. Took less than 45 min. Even with all my health issues I went home the next day. To me the worst thing is the GAS. Sent from my SM-S765C using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
