Hi All!

I will be 2 weeks out on Tuesday and will start my thick liquid diet. I'd love to have some suggestions on high Protein, low carb thick liquids. Any ideas???

Thanks!

Barb

Hi,

I was sleeved 4/25/11 and will be starting my 4th week post op on Tuesday. In my 3rd week, I had mashed potatoes, pureed butter Beans, grits. Alot of carbs but it was all I could think of. I was tired of the liquids. Also, I just purchased the Protein power/UNJURY, flavor chocolate Splendor and it tastes marvelous. You should try it. I drink mine with Lactaid--100% fat free milk

If you have a bullet blender, you can actually puree a lot more protiens to where there are no chunks! Im on full/thick liquid stage too, and besides Soups (those nice creamy bisque ones) I have had eggs, and chicken/ tuna/shrimp/crab salads. I blend these up with soy milk...come out nice and creamy. I have spent the last 10 yrs on a lower carb diet, and all of these "carb laden" liquid foods are wreaking havoc on my blood sugar levels. I had to change it up after 4 days.......grab a bullet, or borrow one from a friend!

I bought an assortments of Soups from the grocery and blended them before eating (I have a VitaMix) to give me some variety. It made it a lot easier to stay on the food plan because I could have bean soups that tasted a lot better than the shakes did! I also like the Unjury products and the Atkins Dk chocolate Royale shakes. Good luck!

I have a GE single serve blender that is great for blending up stuff to the consistency of a thin or thicker density. I also like the Atkins Adv Protein Shakes in vanilla and Mocha latte. I got this little blender for Christmas and its very similar to the bullet but under $20 at Walmart. It's finally being put to use and I just love it!

I will be starting my thick liquid mushy foods on Tuesday as well. I had my surgery 5/17/11. I have a bullet to soften things in. Some of the things my surgeon recommended are:

cottage cheese

ricotta cheese

canned meats

scrambled eggs

egg salad

tuna salad with light mayo only

chicken salad with light mayo only

fat free refried Beans

I am finding as I read the forum that each surgeon is so different on their post op diet. I've been on a liquid diet for almost 2 weeks now, and I feel like I am starving. Did any of you feel this way?

I was on liquids for 2 weeks too! I was so over it and ready for somthing else. I was tired of the sweet stuff as well.

I was advanced to pureed food last Monday. The first thing I tried was chicken salad in my magic bullet! It was not as eventful as I suspected. It felt so stuck and I was so disapointed! I then tried refried Beans with cheese. Those got stuck as well! People told me I was still too swollen and to try the ricotta cheese bake from egg face. That worked well and I ate that for 4 days for all meals!! I ate cottage cheese and some Protein drinks.

Today, I tried Beans again and that worked. So, my swelling must be going down! I also pureed some chicken noodle Soup. That was o.k.

I was so happy about being in this stage and have felt so defeated! I hope it gets better!

I hope it works well for you!

We are all so funny! I am disappointed because I CAN eat mushies with no problem! I want to have very good restriction and I worry that I do not. I am extremely happy that I am not hungry! I just hope Dr. Spaw gave me a teeny tiny tummy! lol

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
