Liquid diet - Questions and sharing your diet!



Recommended Posts

It's time to buy my proteins! Huzzah!

This was discussed in my class, but I clearly didn't retain this information. I have two questions on the pre/post op liquid diets. As I recall, liquid was define as anything in a liquid state at room temperature. This included popsicles, broth, shakes, etc.

So question one: Does yogurt count? I'm not sure how I'd define that consistency! I've found a bunch of Greek yogurt flavors (without that I enjoy and would love to put them into rotation during this time if I'm allowed.

Secondly: How many of these per day am I supposed to have? Obviously there's the breakfast/lunch/dinner ones. Do I have a full shake for 2 Snacks a day as well?

For those of you in the pre/post op liquid diet or who remember theirs, I'd love to hear when and what you ate!

Yogurt, can count but it needs to be sugar and fat free or low fat.

Since I am lactose intolerant, I cannot have yogurt, however this is my following regime:

Breakfast: Protein Shake

Snack: 1 Cup of broth

Lunch: Protein shake

Snack: sugar free Popsicle

Dinner: Protein Shake

Snack: Sugar Free Jello

I am allowed cucumbers and non starchy vegetables. So every other day I will have cucumber.

Your Protein Shakes are your meals. The yogurts, jello and popsicles are considered your Snacks.

In between that time is a ton of Water. It takes me about 15 minutes to drink my shake which I do not mind.

      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.
