Need ideas for liquid diet!



Recommended Posts

I need ideas for getting some needed calories! I was sleeved 6/1 and I'm on liquid only for 3 weeks. I'm so hungry. The soups/broths I've been trying are so salty....protein shakes so sweet. I'm feeling weak because I feel like I'm barely getting enough calories to exist! I got about 240 calories in yesterday....and about 60 grams of Protein. With unflavored Protein Powder, I'm able to get protein but it is only about 60 calories. Any suggestions/recipes for liquid phase? I'm going to make some homemade veggie Soup and blend it, but that won't be very high calorie, even if I add protein powder to it. Thanks!

liquid phase isn't about calories. It's about Protein and Fluid. Get our 60-90 grams of protein in and drink your Water. Then eat Soups. Trader Joe's as a ton of great soups in boxes - mushroom, Tomato most of which are also available in low sodium. What you are feeling as "hunger" may actually be acid in your new tender stomach. Are you on a PPI like Protonix or something else for reflux? If not, contact your group - that may help with the "hunger" pains .

Good luck!

Thank you :-). I actually just feel super weak. Like I need calories. Not that I'm super hungry. I did have some hunger today but had a little Protein Shake and it was okay. I'm just exhausted! (Sleeved 6/1)
