Post op liquid diet



Recommended Posts

I asked my nurse for clarification yesterday and she really didn’t have one .... I’m almost a week post op and still on liquid diet. Everyone is confusing me because in the hospital they said I was on Clear Liquids but was given regular Protein Drinks. My NUT sheet says liquids like broth and Jello etc plus Protein Shakes.

I wanted to know can I strain egg drop Soup ? Or is that too thick?

You should be on as clear as you can liquids and Most of us did not start Protein till 10 days out. But dont freak out if the broth is not crystal clear or the Jello is yellow. The term clear means thin not thick liquids not really in terms of color.

So no on the Cream of mushroom Broth or Tomato Broths

But a chicken broth or beef broth is fine - as for protein they do make clear Liquid Protein drinks

Yes you can strain Egg drop but get the eggs out and then VItamix it

I’ve been allowed the regular premade Protein Shakes since the day after surgery and I’m fine with that I just wanted to enjoy some egg drop Soup on Christmas and no one seemed to be able to answer if I could have it or not at my bari clinic... I figured lobster bisque was already a no and other cream like Soups ...

I drink clear Protein drinks and regular protein shakes now for protein goals ... just wanted something “special” for Christmas

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
