Help! Last Day Of Clear Liquids....



Recommended Posts

HELP! Last day of clear liquids.... & I am literally drooling every time I open the fridge! I tried to eat some broth, and for the first time I got nauseous! Pretty positive it wasnt "surgery related nausea" (I have had NO NAUSEA) but just the fact that I am SICK of clear liquids! Got about 2 bites of sugar free Jello & I was just sick :-/

PLEASE give me some words of advice to help me make it through the day :-)

Why don't you plan your menu for tomorrow!? Or, get out of the house. Have you tried the Knorr beef or chx stock cups yet? You can find them at Wal-Mart & add one cup to 3 1/2 c of H2O. Boil. Yummmmmm! The Knorr bouillons and stocks are so robust in flavor! Also, the Edy's SF all-fruit popsicles are so good. These are my favorites. I KNOW you can get thru this day...you may need to just get out of the house & start your Christmas shopping early or just find something else to occupy your time.If you journal, today would be a perfect day to wrap up your liquid phase of journal entries. Hope that I am able to help you here!

You are doing FANTASTICAL!!! Keep on going!

You are doing great! Try something different in the Clear Liquids phase that you haven't had yet. If you're sick of broth, try a small Protein Shake, or have the juice from a bowl of egg drop Soup. Try some of that Kellogg's Protein Water or just drink some juice mixed half and half with Water for a different taste. I'd stick with either apple or cranberry myself.

Also, I am now really liking the Mio drops Strawberry/watermelon flavor. It's not so sweet that it's cloying, but it changes up the taste of water. And, since you can add as much as you like, you can adjust the taste to your preference.

Good luck!! :)

I think what is killing me the most is having to cook for my 2 kids. For Breakfast they had eggs & Breakfast sausage- i was DYING to steal a bite. I took a teeny tiny nibble off the end, got the taste then spit the teeny tiny piece out LOL- but it cured my craving! So far for lunch, they are having chicken nuggets & chopped fruit- i want so badly to endulge in a piece of pineapple & watermelon. GRRR!

Any one of you ladies to the "thickened liquid" stage? THATS TOMORROW :-)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
