Can Anyone Tell Me About Your Full Liquid Stage?



Recommended Posts

Was banded Saturday, so this is day 4 for me. I haven't been hungry at all up until this afternoon. My dr said liquids for two full weeks. But that means no yogurt, apple sauce, pudding or Jello either. I'm sure broccoli Soup is a no no if it's not strained too, that's what I am craving. how long did everyone else have to do liquids before the mushy stage? What did it consist of?

Today is my 2nd day of surgery and i have not been feeling hungry as of yet, but my doctor only put me on liquid diet for a week and the mushy solid foods for like 2weeks.

When I was on full liquids I was allowed those things. I had sugar free pudding and applesauce all the time. I ate a lot of runny oatmeal, too.

I was told that if it ran off the back of a spoon easily, I could consider it a full liquid.< /p>

I was on Clear Liquids for 2 weeks then full liquids for 2 weeks. Needless to say by the time I got to mushy food at week 5, I was starving lol.

Thanks ladies. I didn't have any appetite until today. All I want to do is chew! Even something thicker than Water would be nice:( I knew this would be hard, I just have to get my mind together.

im four months post op now but still remember how i cooked up my own Soups. I used beef/chicken broth... onions, salsa,(mild) one potato, small amount of pumpkin. when cooked i blended it down. I never made soup up so that it was thick ... always made sure there was enough Fluid to keep the it liquid. i also added some garlic powder when i poured it into a bowl. i found that while i couldnt have thicker soups i could tolerate more flavour.

I actually made broccoli Soup and put unflavored whey Protein in it to get the protein in and ate it once a day in addition to my shakes. I added extra chicken broth to make it runnier.

I'm on week two and couldn't believe my Dr. put me on canned chicken and fish already. As long as I follow the bites as small as a pencil eraser, then I am fine. Fat free refried Beans and cheese and chicken warmed in the microwave last night for dinner, it was AWESOME!!! They also gave me permission for soft eggs, cheese, and large Pasta.< /p>

J-ello is considered a clear liquid. As I'm told by my surgeon anyway find out if you can do that. It requires chewing. I just had my surgery today and had one; well let's be real it eneded up being a children's spoon of it and I felt full. He also said Italian ices which is a nice treat .. I know every dr is different so if that isn't already on you approved list I would just call and ask if that's okay for you..

What kind of liquids? My doctor said 7 days clear liquids and then 7 days full liquids. I was not allowed yogurt or pudding until day 15. During liquid stages I added Mrs Dash non salt flavorings to first broth and then Tomato or sweet red pepper/tomato Soups. Add before heating so the spices reconstitute. For my doctor liquids were Water, broth, smooth soups like tomato (not blended soups like chicken noodle), and Jello. Sucky but it's only a couple weeks.

Today (day17) I just completed post surgery All Liquids. Now I can have mushy/puree for next 2 weeks.

I drank nothing but liquids and nonfat greek yogurt (plain with some splenda) Clear broths, chicken,veggie, beef, SF popsicles,SF Jello cup, Crystal lights and for Breakfast & lunch costco Premier Protein shakes. I did NOT do jello, pudding.< /p>

Put you mind to it and you can do it. I lost 14 pounds since surgery on all liquids, 48 pounds total. I would question your doctor on NO yogurt, becasue it has Protein (as long as its greek plain yogurt).

I was told to use the same diet as the first two week fast. I've been eating a ton of applesauce. I can't wait for this month to end so I can eat some regular food. I miss the chewing sensation. I also miss hot food, the broth totally doesn't count. I can eat applesauce, yogurt (which is too sweet after surgery for me), and chicken broth. I'm allergic to oatmeal, but other patients can have oatmeal. I dislike the texture of jell-o, so that was out for me too.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
