2nd Week Liquid Post Op Uninterested



Recommended Posts

Going into my second week post op liquids and I have become weary eating the same things that I've noticed my Fluid intake has been going down.

I'm charting everything and although I am still within limits of my fluid intake I've noticed it declining as the week goes on. I was on a pre-op diet for one week with the day before surgery all Clear Liquids. So in actuality I'm going into 3 weeks of fluids. I've had different flavors of Protein Shakes, some I make some are premade. I have my SF popsicles, different flavors, broths, and creamed Soups. I now want none of the above except I can still deal with the popsicles. It's like if you eat a certain food for a long time just the thought of that food makes you nauseous.

I am still getting the Protein shakes in but I need to mix it up a bit and need creative ways to get through this next week. I also have caffein free teas and SF hot chocolate (not a coffee drinker). I have been using SF Orange Crush & SF 4C tea with lemon packs to flavor my Water.

My 2 week follow up is Tuesday Sept 12

I still don't have an appetite and it's not that I am wanting to eat off the liquid plan, it's just that if I never have another broth or cream Soup for the rest of my life I'll be just fine! lol

Any suggestions to get through this next week?

I found the answer to my delima above.

Getting Through The Liquid Phase

I purchased these creamed soups:

Cream of Bacon

Cream of Broccoli

Cream of Asparagus

Cream of Potato

I already had: Cream of chicken, Cellery, Onion, & Mushroom

How I prepared:

Cream of Potato

2.5 Servings per container/Serving size 1/2 cup = 4oz

90 cal/serv = 225 total

2g protein/serv = 3g total

-Put Soup in sauce pan

-Add 1 cup (8oz) Fairlife Fat Free (13 g protein) & simmer while stirring

NOTE: I added spices - Cayenne Pepper, White Pepper, Dried Herbs (any spice you like)

-Pour contents into blender & blend until smooth

-Add soup to larger container if needed

-Add 1 Scoop Unjury Chicken Flavor Protein Powder (20g protein) & stir/mix

-Add chicken broth to thin out the soup to desired consistency

-Measure out your serving & enjoy throughout the day

I will do this for all the creamed Soups as they all will have different flavors.

Now I can make it through another week and will put these in rotation later!

I also forgot I ordered Millie's Broths from their website and had to grab those from my mailbox today. I am including the image.

I'm almost afraid if I try it, it will taste too good. Have you tried that sipping broth yet? I'm intrigued. The pho and Tomato ones sound like they could be delightful in the winter. I'm trying to ween myself to one cup of tea per day to reduce my caffeine but it's a challenge in the cold weather because tea is so warm and cozy.

Yes I’ve tried the spicy one so far. I still add spices. I am a tea drinker as well and purchased a caffein frees tea ( Keurig cup) from Walmart it’s an English Breakfast tea. I use Splenda as well. I’ll try the Pho probably today

I was able to have yogurt for my post op liquid, see if you can and add some Water to dilute if too thick. If you use greek yogurt (Oikos triple zero or ratio) you are looking at 15 to 25g of Protein.< br>

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
