I am 6 days post op..had my surgery on Nov 8 and im dying on this liquid diet. Im not getting the nutrition i need and its affecting everything i do. I cry everyday because im so weak, tired, and just worn out. I can hardly choke down 1 shake a day and ive tried a few different ones. I really dont feel like im going to live to see Monday when i can start soft foods. Please help

eat broths with some diced onion or spices for added flavors. Try small portion of a cream soup. It has a few more calories than clear broth but it will fill you up better and longer. Drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Call your doctor. You might not have to be on liquids

I hated the bariatric products. I found that Body Fortress from Wal mart is pretty good. Tastes like im drinking a glass of chocolate milk. Not thick or gritty at all. I also use GNC unflavored protein powder for my flavored drinks (like crystal light) or in sugar free pudding and stuff like that.

Naked has a Protein shake with 30g Protein might help

Water down pudding with nf milk, sugar free Popsicles, Jello. water down some cream of rice. Add broth or milk to ff refried Beans. If you eat the beans even just nice you'll feel a whole lot better. Just make sure they are liquid like your shake.

I feel your pin dear. It gets better though.

I seriously know of no one who died on the post-op diet. We have all been there. Surgery and recovery is emotional. What did you expect?

Im not sure what i was expecting. All i know is im having a very hard time right now.

Try a coffee no fat milk shake with a small amount if low fat yogurt or ice cream. Trust me it gets better you just need to hang in there for a short time.

For me I added creamy soups: tomato, cream

Of broccoli, the best one was cream of shrimp that one tasted like great seafood and got me through the worst part , you can do it !! Good luck.
