Full liquids - whats allowed?

[Tagger 0]

I had my surgery on July 27 with Dr. Aceves. I'm on vacation in another province right now and don't have the list for full fluids that I was emailed before surgery. I know of milk, Protein Shakes, yogurt drinks - anything else? Many thanks

Here's the list that VegasAngel sent me. She is a a Dr. Aceves patient and this is what was sent to her by his staff.

Here are a few ideas concerning the post op diet

Day 1 thru 5 ( Clear liquids Only )

fruit juice ( apple, grape, cranberry )

Propel

broth

Jello-O

Water

Tea

Protein Water by Kellogg’s

Water popsicles

Clear Protein drinks only ( example Isopure, powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury )

Day 6-10 ( thin liquids )

All of the above and:

Natural Vegetable Juices ( example Carrot, V-8 juice )

Protein drinks mixed with water ( example Matrix )

whey nectar Protein Mix

Day 11 thru 20 ( full liquids )

Cream Soups

Yogurt

Jello-O

Boiled pureed fruit ( example apple, pear) applesauce

Watermelon, papaya or melon in small pieces

Low fat milk 1 or 2%

Water, Propel, tea

Soy beverages

sugar free pudding

Protein shakes and protein powders mixed with milk

Day 21 thru 30 ( soft food )

Soft food should be the consistency of a thick liquid ( no chunks or solid material ) and it should be chewed very well before swallowing until it is a liquid consistency )

Tofu

Low fat cottage cheese

Cereal

oatmeal

Precooked pureed rice

Low fat Yogurt

Yogurt mixed with fruit very well blended

A diet consisting of 800 calories and 70 grams of protein should be your goal.

Hi There,

I am new to the forum and am having the Sleeve done August 17th from Dr. Joya.

I'm on day 3 of my liquid pre-op diet...getting cranky...lol :-) It sounds like you are happy and doing well with the sleeve yourself. Thanks for the advice on the diet.

Hi Meowmeow, and welcome. Don't worry, we all get a little cranky during the pre and post-op diet phases.

Thanks so much Tiffykins, that's exactly what I needed. It sure doesn't seem like there is much difference between full and mushies, does it.

Not really LOL.

But, I will say that watermelon was a god-send. I swear, I was in heaven for those 5 little bites of watermelon once I was able to have it.

Hey Kim, how are you doing after surgery?

I am making it a little better every day.

My drain wound is the only thing bothering me but boy does it hurt. it is exactly where I bend to sit or stand. I'll be happy when it gets better. Have you spoken to Jaz since ya'll left?

Did you have a good flight home? How are you with you liquids?

I'm trying to get mine all in but I run just a little short on them right now.. I feel great though.

It was nice meeting you in Mexicali.

Hope you have a speedy recovery

Hugz,

Hi Penny,

I feel great! No incision or tummy pain at all. Occassionally, if I hiccup or something I get a little shoulder pain but otherwise nothing. Fluids have been going down fine but I just cringe at my next drink of Water and adding anything to it makes it so sweet tasting. So like you, I am probably a bit short each day. Also, being on vacation it isn't as convenient to grab something from the fridge you know? I had a brief message from Jaz last week but nothing since. Hope she is doing okay. It was great meeting you too, hope you keep doing well and keep in touch.

Wow Penny you still have a drain? You said it hurt. It is not red and angry or anything is it? I had a drain in my neck after surgery to remove a salivary gland. It didn't hurt but I was on pain medication.

I am doing enjoying my sleeve. However I have stopped loosing weight. I need to try much harder. Good luck to you.

No my drain is gone, but the spot where it was is still hurting. It is right where i bend or twist.. ouch it hurts everytime, but it isnt' red. So i guess it is just getting my attention and telling me to stop moving like that. LOL

Good luck to all of you. I just wanted to say that once you can have the sf pudding, it's really good frozen for something different.

I also really enjoyed egg drop Soup. It's one of the Soups that actually has some Protein in it. I also had cream of chicken Soup but made sure to put it in the blender to blend it up fine enough that there were no chunks what so ever in the soup.

Daisy,

Egg Drop Soup is allowed on full liquids? I"ve been trying to find that out and haven't seen anyone else that posted they could have it.

I've been wanting it really badly...

I posted a recipe for it made with tofu --- extra Protein - it was really good and flavorful. And yes, it's allowed on full liquids -- slurp away!
