Liquid diet stressing...



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow is 1 week left until the best decision of my life (April 10 is my sleeve surgery). I was only to do a 1000 calorie diet 2 weeks preop which I've been following - tomorrow I want to change to an all liquid diet for the rest of the time. I've read a lot of people's plans have them doing a liquid diet preop. So I put the question out there- what are some of your go to sugar free, fat free liquid items you do for the liquid diet you're on.. I plan on doing 3 shakes a day, possibly 4, with sugar free jellos and popcicles. Anything else I should try?!

It's really tough, I am on day 7 of my 14 day liquid only diet. 3 Protein Shakes and I eat broth, sugar free Jello and sugar free popsicles. I enjoy eating broth from my favorite chinese restaurant's egg drop Soup. (This was approved by my Dr.) It's getting old, and I'm hungry. I keep thinking "I have at least 3 more weeks of Clear Liquids? " ughhh. I keep thinking I want to reschedule my surgery for fall :( But, my family won't let me...haha

I'm on my last day of my liquid diet. Post op 6 days! Tomorrow morning I'm gonna have an egg for Breakfast. I'm sure it will be the best one I've ever had. It hasn't been easy but it's going to be worth it. I'm not "hungry" but I have cravings and watching the family eat has been kinda hard.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
