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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
