Bored with liquids



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery 11/30 but I have been on a clear liquid diet since 11/16. I see my doc this coming Friday and I really hope to move to the full liquids because this is really starting to get to me! How did the rest of you work through this? I don't want to cheat and I know I won't, I am just miserable! Any advice, tips or even some clear liquid suggestions?

I've been on Clear Liquids since 11/2... my surgeon requires them for 2 weeks before and 4 weeks after surgery (plus protein). I'm climbing the walls wanting to eat actual food. No advice... Just sympathy.

Yikes. That's a long time to be on clear liquids! You also have my sympathy.

That being said, full liquids will seem like a walk in the park for you! ;)

Unflavored Protein powder in chicken or beef bone broth was my saving grace during the clear liquids. I also added some broth enhancer that I found at the grocery store to make it a little bit better.

Did you make your own Bone Broth?

Actually, we found some at Sam's Club that we like. I still use it my recipe to flavor and to cook down green Beans.

I asked because I've been researching the benefits of bone broth and was going to start making my own. I saw some at the store and picked up a couple boxes. It was the worst tasting stuff ever. I'll have to check out Sam's club until I can get to the butcher and get some bones. Thank you.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
