Full liquids starts today!



Recommended Posts

I was cleared for full liquids after leaving the hospital, my surgeon allows cream Soups strained of all lumps and bumps, cream cereals such as malt-o-meal, and cream of wheat, sf pudding, thick Protein shakes (like premier) and that's about it. I did try to drink premier 1 day post op and it didn't taste the same I hated it, and was extremely too thick to get down. Haven't tried again, let me know how it goes for you! How are you feeling in terms of pain and all that?

I still have the pain in my chest when I drink. My stomach (incision area) only hurts when I go from sitting to standing and standing to sitting. Also when I'm trying to move in bed. How about you?

I'm doing pretty good, I also have a little pain when moving around in bed, coughing, and especially sneezing, but I try to apply pressure while doing these things and it makes it a little better. I don't get pain from drinking just what feels like gas in my chest if I drink too much or too fast, I don't really have much restriction as some I've seen here with getting my liquids. I'm able to finish 20 oz of Water in a little over an hour which I think is odd.

Yay! My mood and energy really improved when I graduated from clear to full liquids. I suggest you find an unflavored Protein Powder to add it to strained Soups. Mix a scoopful of powder with just enough Water to make it smooth, then add it to hot liquids (that way it won't get those awful clumps).

      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.
