Liquids (stage 1)

I'm a full day post op and am on full liquids (after one day of clear liquids pre-op). I'm not a very savory person in general so I see a lot of yogurt and kefir in my future. I wanted to share some great products I've found helpful. And hopefully get some recommendations Bare Bones broth packets - I add half a bouillon cube for more intense flavour. The convenience of having a packet is super easy. Ryse Clear protein drinks - My favourites are kool-aid fruit punch and country time lemonade. They are both palatable room temp or cold. Clean Simple Eats - Toffee and Snickerdoodle are my favourite flavors. Milk with FairLife for higher protein content. If you're not ready t…

I found this recipe in complete bariatric cookbook and meal plan. Thank goodness because I can’t do those sweet shakes no mo. Green Machine Protein Shake. It’s lightly tart and tangy. I taste the green apple essence and it’s creamy. Yum!

This really isn't a recipe but it was good, thought I would share specially for those on full liquids. Campbell's as a Thai tomato coconut bisque but it's a little fattening but I love Thai flavors and really wanted to try it so I bought a regular tomato Soup and cut down the Thai one by mixing about 50/50 with reg tomato and it was really delicious filled with plenty of the good Thai flavor and cut down the cals and fat. Also Target carries an organic roasted red pepper tomato soup that only has 110 cals and 2 grams of fat and is also crazy good!

I can drink water, cream soup, broth, have had jello— but day 11 and 12 im trying to have protein shake and it feels like a rock and lingers a long time.. any suggestions? I have got to get in more protein.

I am three days PO and completely forgot I couldn't handle water like I used to. I was extremely parched and gulped about four to five ounces of water. I didn't vomit, but there was definitely pain that has lingered a bit. Now I'm worried about a leak. Have I already ruined my new tool? Sent from my SM-G970U using BariatricPal mobile app

Here we go! Today I start my liquid diet. Can I have coffee on this? I forgot to ask my doctor, if so what can we use for creamer? Right now I'm using fairlife protein but it it's kind of weird Sent from my moto g stylus 5G using BariatricPal mobile app

If so, how'd your turn out? Any special recipes? I have some in the freezer. Now just have to be patient and wait for them to freeze!

I'm on day 3 and have had a migraine since surgery. Has anyone experienced this? Also my face has broken out in a rash [emoji25] Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

Even pre-op and most of my life for the last 2 years (thanks to paleo low carb eating) I avoid bananas like the plague but I think in small increments they're nutritionally dense and easy on the tummy. I know people love them so I figured this would be a great recipe to share. This felt awesome on my Day 13 post op tummy. 1/2 banana 1/2 C. VANILLA GREEK YOGURT (I used 2 Good) A dash of nutmeg A dash of cinnamon 1/3 C. Fair Life Fat Free Milk 1/3 C.

I've really been struggling with Protein shakes until my bff who has had rny suggested chocolate fairlife shake with a shot from my nespresso pods. GAME CHANGER! Just wanted to share in case anyone else would like it as much as me!

Hi everyone I’m 3 days into my liquid diet and I feel terrible and it sucks that I work from home and have to cook for my family I have to admit I did cheat with 4oz of leanchicken breast today I felt so nauseous and on top of that I have a full three week liquid diet my surgery is April 5th any tips out there that any one can share pleAse it is appreciated [emoji4]

I make a shake and get all of my Premeir Protein in first thing. I use half a chocolate and half a vanilla proein shake. You can use what ever you want. But that is 30 grams. I add a scoop of unflavored whey protein 18 grams. and a scoop of multi collagen protein 9 grams and half a tub of what ever flavor of Triple Zero yogart 8 grams with some crushed ice and blend it. That is a 65 gram protein shake and I could and will drink one of these every day from now on. It is delicious to me. Give it a try.

Can we have protein soups in the first two weeks if we strain them? I tried a few from a bariatric liquid diet and I like them WAY more than shakes. https://www.nashuanutrition.com/collections/high-protein-soup/products/healthsmart-soup-chicken-bouillon-7-box

I am now 5 days post-op and struggling to get enough water. Anyone else? I am trying so hard but I can only get a few little sips down every. Any tips on how you do it? I'm barely getting 20-30oz down each day.  Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I am three weeks out from gastric sleeve and I’m so bored with the protein drinks. Soft diet for one more week, and I have to keep drinking them until I can get all my protein from food. Saw this somewhere and it is so good. I don’t even like coffee. Try it: 2 shots of espresso in a venti cup of ice, pour in your favorite protein drink. (Mine was Starbucks but what ever will do I’m sure).

Is everyone tired alot? Sent from my SM-G965U using BariatricPal mobile app

It’s really been hard recovering from gastric sleeve surgery especially when the next day I had to be rushed back into surgery because my staples popped from vomiting so much kinda wishing I didn’t do this it’s so hard...

Pre surgery I was a really big water drinker! I was hoping to hydrate my 64oz post op on that but tiny tummy hates it! It burns like acid. Have to make it into decaf tea or crystal light. Anyone else not able to take plain water? Does it get better soon?

I just got out of the hospital and I’m already struggling. I’m not hungry but I do feel weak. What I mean by struggling is nothing stays down at all. And what good broths can I have? I have the muscle milk and it sucks. Any suggestions?

Good afternoon everyone. Tomorrow makes a week post-op and I’m having problems. It seems as if everyone around me is eating and being insensitive about what I’m going through. Has anyone else had that problem and do you have my suggestions that may help me? Much appreciated.

I made some homemade sugar free popsicles today that are actually really good. I got the cheapo popsicle molds from WinCo (grocery store for those not in the USA) and some sugar free Jello. I made the jello a bit stronger than the directions called for. (3 cups total instead of 4), filled the molds with it and froze them. They turned out great. They're soft, like sorbet, and still only 12 calories per bar.

Hi, i am in the liquid stage and it has been a little bit hard to drink enough everyday because i get full i am 4 days post op I had the VGS

I had vsg 4 years ago and lost 82 lbs; my husband had surgery the same day and lost 100 lbs. I started a blog to keep up with what I was feeling and eating, and that has now migrated to a full-blown food blog. But I wanted to share this yummy lobster bisque recipe that we used a lot during Post-Op/Full Liquids stage. https://www.twosleevers.com/recipes/post-op-full-liquids-yummy-lobster-bisque-14-gms-protein/

Im on my last month with the nutritionits and I haven't lost the pound I'm suppose to.. they put me and liquid diet.. and it's so horrible.. my mom ask me every 5 minuto how I feel, if am hungry . has anyone being on this.. any advice to go through this 2 week

I had my surgery 12-26-17 and just feeling alone anyone want to help me figure out this app?

Does anybody have a hard time feeling motivated, excited?? I’m following my post-OP diet to the T but I find my self frustrated most of the times. How can I get excited again about having my MGB done ?? P.S I’m not hungry at all but I see everybody eating my favorite foods.

I just started day one of the liquid diet. Ugh I didn't think I would have an issue, but darn...the struggle is real!! So hungry, but a protein shake is just filling me up, its not satisfying me. Oh well. I can do it!

Update: ok so I drank my 11oz of Premier Protein Carmel and it was goooooood. BUT!!! It took me roughly from 1pm till almost 8pm to do it. On week too where I get mashed potatoes, oatmeal, cream of wheat, yogurt and pudding. I did the math so bare with me. I have averaged getting up around 10-11am since hubby has been home all week. If I’m up at 11am, I have to drink FOUR oz of water per hour which means, 11am sip, sip, sip. 11:15 am, sip,sip, sip. 11:30am sip, sip, sip. You see where km going with this. I’d have to stay up till about 3am to get in the 64oz they want us to get in????? Even if I get up at 8am, I’d be up till about 1am. HOW IS THIS RIGHT? And I’ve thrown…

So as WLS patients this time of year can be so so so hard on the ones that LOVE everything pumpkin. But it doesn't have to be! This morning I dug out a can of pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling) and added three tablespoons to my protein shake. I also added pumpkin pie seasoning and two stevias. All with two scoops of baritatric advantage vanilla and a cup of almondmilk with 5 ice cubes. Heaven!! I will use the can for making my own Greek yogurt pumpkin as well, same premise! Happy Pumpkin Season everyone!!

Just bought some root beer extract and I put it in my vanilla shakes and almond milk. Tastes like root beer float Just thought I would share with folks bored of their regular protein flavors.

Be searched for threads about PB2 but nothing is coming up. Just tried it tonight. OMG it's good. But besides adding it to milk, what other ways do you use it? Suggestions are welcome!
