Did you "transition" into the liquid diet?



Recommended Posts

My surgeon requires a 2 week all liquid diet - I am kind of easing into it in that I have started "test-driving" shakes. I went out last weekend and bought several different brands to see which ones I like best. Right now, I am just having them for Breakfast each day...I start the real thing on the 18th (and I'm not looking forward to it)...

I only had to do a 3 day full liquid diet prior to surgery, after surgery I had 6 weeks. The only thing I did to prepare for this was try different Protein drinks/shakes before I was on the 6 week full liquid diet just to make sure I liked them.

I wouldn't do it a minute sooner than necessary. It gets very old, very quickly.

I would make sure I had Protein I really liked, though. (My doctor recommends a certain brand, but was fine with others, as long as it fell within certain nutrition parameters.) I really like the Inspire from bariatriceating.com. The Dutch chocolate Cake flavor is very good, as is the PURE unflavored.

I did it cold turkey and the first day was the worst, but it got better.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
