Full liquid question



Recommended Posts

Hey.. I am 7 days postop and I'm on full liquids.. I am so tired of the cream Soups and broths from a can.. I love the taste of ramen noodles so I thought what if I took the seasoning pack and mixed that with Water and had that as broth? ? Anyone have suggestions if that's ok to do or not? Or do you have any other food choices for a full liquid diet? I'm new to this site and just trying feel this out .. Thx

I did the same thing last night. Regular broth wasn't cutting it. My husband made himself some ramen noodles and gave me the bowl first so I could have some of the broth. It was heavenly.

I did that for broth a lot. A case of ramen is cheap, tossed the noodles and didn't give it another thought, immensely tastier than plain old chicken broth.

I'm sure that should be fine. I just talked to my nut today and she said clear broths were fine. I have heard other people straining other types of Soup for the better flavored broth too. :)

We bought a ton of vegetables and Soup bones, put them in the electric roaster (for a lot, or crock pot for less). (We actually roasted the vegetables with some seasonings to bring out the flavor before we put the crock pot.) Covered with Water and cooked for 2 hours on high then 10 hours on low. Strained away all of the vegetables and have some wonderful broth. Have done with both chicken and beef. I was not a vegetable eater before starting this endeavor and am now loving the veggie flavored homemade broth. I am 5 days out from surgery and have been trying this with various other "liquified" strained Soups (with unflavored Protein powder) to supplement the sweet shakes.< /em>

If you like the taste of ramen noodles, I'd highly recommend getting some Unjury chicken Soup. I've always said that it tases like chicken ramen & you get some very high quality Protein too.

"Forget the Ramen packages...mix together a dry onion Soup mix envelope, a dry veggie soup mix and two or three chicken bullion cubes (smushed up) brew it like tea and he will drink it like it was Bourbon!! Much cheaper than those expensive ( ;) ) packages. "

Found that on another forum

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
