I wonder why i see everyone having to do clear diets and my livershrink diet has it where i can eat??? Dont understand

I asked my doctor about this and he didn’t think the long clear liquid diets did much past a certain time frame. I’m sure it has to do with each patient as well but in his office it’s 2-7 days of liquid. I started liquid today, tomorrow is bowel prep and meds to “sterilize” digestive tract, surgery the next morning.

Does everyone have to wash with the surgical Soup the day before and morning of surgery?

Surgery yesterday and doing better today. Last night sucked. Couldn’t sleep at all. I think I slept for an hour then no more then 5-10 minutes. Every time I’d fall asleep my o2 levels dropped and the alarm would jolt me awake. Barium swallow this morning showed no issues so reward is ice chips - so good after going 36 hours nothing to drink. Bring petroleum free chap stick! Life saver those hours. Good luck to future November bypassers!

I had my RNY on November 7th, 2018. I am trying my hardest to get all fluids I need. Has anyone found a good combo of bariatric Vitamins to get everything we need?

Alex8706 - I had my bypass surgery on November 5th and I’ve been able to get everything in since. I take the chocolate Celebrate 4 in 1. It combines all your Vitamins and Protein in one shake. It’s been good to have that in the beginning!

Just got home and so glad to be out of the hospital! Now the work begins. Already fighting food association. Really would like to have a couple of triscuits and cheddar cheese - my go to come home snack...

Also, one wls patient went code blue today. All is good, she just stopped breathing for a bit. Scary.

I am dying to add some sort of different flavor or texture to my diet. Tuesday is my 2 week post-op and I will (hopefully) finally be able to move on to phase 3, pureed diet!!

My wife just brought home some vegetable broth and the different flavor is welcoming. SF popsicles have been my go to bland buster but I can’t wait for stage 3 either.

      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.
