This liquid diet is making me more hungry



Recommended Posts

fruit and veggies are BAD next choices...too much Fiber in them.

It's best to follow your doctor's advice and take reintroductions very slowly.

When you need to move on to the next stage, the next foods are cream of wheat or oat meal thinned with skim milk or almond milk, sugar free pudding, creamed Soups with the chunks strained out, or yogurt.

Are you tolerating the Protein drinks, are you able to drink well without pain or nausea? You have to be able to do both before introducing anything new.

Just my 2 cents, but I doubt you could consume so much of anything pureed to cause problems - but if you are determined to try - only do half a teaspoon of something super blended - no seeds or skins or strings in some thinned Soup. Maybe split pea soup blended and thinned down with Bone Broth Could try half teaspoon of a baked sweet potato, or butternut squash soup.

Everyones plan is different and everyones tolerance is different too.

SF chocolate pudding made me want to barf, I may never eat it again! Cream of asparagus blended was sooo much better. Just go really really slow, half teaspoon and wait 5 minutes.

Everyone gets sick of the stages and it seems to take forever and a day to get through them, but it does go faster and get better after the first 2 weeks. Just make sure to get the protein and liquids in, watch your skin for signs of dehydration - really wrinkled on top of the hand when you pinch the skin and not peeing much, darker pee. It is so hard to then take enough liquid in to get caught up. I found the whey protein drinks terribly constipating and that I had to drink a lot of liquids to make up for that. Hang in there.

      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.
