ugh to the liquid diet!



Recommended Posts

i'm only allowed Protein shakes and Water (though i could add fruits, yogurt to the shake)...

the first day i used unsweetened almond milk with the shakes thinking it would mask some of the flavor. i'm 4 days in and i no longer use the milk- Water only and LOTS of it. the colder the better. my favorite so far has been to blend an orange, vanilla Protein Powder, ice, and lots of water. it gets frothy and tastes sorta like an orange julius (or so my mind likes me to believe). ;)

also Decaf instant coffee and/or Peanut Butter (powder) added to the Protein Powder is a "great" way to drink the shakes.

but besides all that, how's your gut? OMG I'M DYING WITH RUMBLING AND GAS AND BATHROOM TRIPS! :( :(

I'm afraid that I can't stick to my 7 day diet before my surgery. Do people ever fail? I'm scheduled for 12/27 & will need to do this over Christmas. Very anxious.

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
