Liquid phase question



Recommended Posts

I'm still a little while out from my December 22nd sleeve, but I'm thinking ahead. Lipton makes a dry Soup with noodles in it. Is it okay to strain out the noodles and keep only the powder to make my own broth with? I did this during a colonoscopy prep and they said it was fine but I want to know if that applies for pre/post diet.

I'm basically wanting to fill a container with the powder and use a teaspoon to make 8 0z of broth. It's not completely see through clear, but slightly cloudy.....any thoughts? I would say the same as a bouillon cube.

Also, is adding a Protein powder to this an option to reach daily goals?

I would think the Soup would be okay as long as the sodium isn't too high. Yes, you can add Protein Powder to this. I have tried every Protein Shake under the sun and found I can tolerate Premier the best. I am two weeks out and struggle to get two of those down a day. Plus my Water. Everything else I drink or eat is just for fun really.

I'm almost positive this is what the broth was that my hospital served me after the surgery. It certainly tasted like it.

What Protein Powder do you recommend? I'm overwhelmed with the choices and am starting to sample different shakes to see what I want to get for my 10 day preOP. Premier are okay, but even a little too sweet. I'm a fruity person.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
