Not that excited about phase two.



Recommended Posts

After the Great Disappointment I had with liquid Protein I'm not particularly looking forward to phase 2 full liquids. When I went into this I thought the food changeup would keep things exciting but frankly I mostly feel like I just had surgery and my stomach feels weird all the time. All I really want is purple gatorade and chamomile, I don't want to do any weird food experiments right now.

A couple days afterwards what I wanted most desperately in the world was a Mrs. Field's brownie. Now I'mnot even sure if I would be interested. I waited eleven days for butterscotch pudding. It seems kind of anticlimactic really.

This is by far the hardest part!!! Even when you find full liquids that you like or can tolerate, they get old really quickly. Hang in there and you will be moving up to the glamourous world of cottage cheese and yogurt in no time.

Drinkable yogurt got me over the hump in that stage - but everyone is different.

Hang in there!

On the bright side, you never have to drink clear Isopuke again. Pudding--I could take it or leave it. Greek yogurt with sugar-free flavored syrups is pretty good and I liked thinned-out oatmeal with some vanilla Protein Powder added.

I liked savory better early on, like split pea or blended bean soup.... with a glob of yogurt...

Since you like grape Gatorade maybe you would like the Grape Frost Isopure. It is kind of like Kool Aid and has 40 grams of Protein. It is the only flavor of Isopure I can handle. Sometimes I only drink half depending on what I need Protein wise and what I can handle at the moment but with half I still get 20 grams of protein. Also have you tried any of Eggface's Protein shakes. She has a lot of different shakes listed. I've been trying a few out and have found some I really like (chocolate Mint and strawberry Cheesecake are my fav so far). Good luck to you as you continue on- it really does seem to be like a trial and error process- somethings I like and some things I gag at. :rolleyes:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
