I know it's hard but you can do it! It's only for a couple of more days.

Remember you will be able to eat again. Try to embrace the process, this is going to lead you to a new happier, healthier life :)

I'm also preop, but I've done liquid diets and I know it's hard, but you can do this. Run to GNC and get some different Protein Powder if you really hate the Unjury but don't give up. By tomorrow you'll be feeling a bit better and this will get easier as you go along.

Try body fortress whey isolate vanilla creme

Or premier rtd chocolate from costco or SAMs

Both mix well with coffee for a nice change up!

You can do this stay strong!!!

I like the Atkins Advantage strawberry shake. I tried the Wild berry but don't like the after taste. I'm going to try others before Tuesday which when I start my pre-op diet.

i get it that you are struggling with liquids :(

we've all been there, done that

other sleever "up above" ;) have given good suggestions on different shakes to help make the constant liquid possibly taste better

you just gotta grin and bear it, hang in there (I know easier said than done)

you have to be kind to your tummy, thats the reason for Clear Liquids, then slowly "upping" your eating to full liquids, then pureed, soft, and 'regular solids"

it does take a bit to get to the "end of the rainbow", but it will happen :)

"God grant me patience, just hurry up about it :) "

good luck

continued healthy speedy recovery :)

I am 3 days post op and didn't know how good Water was until I couldn't have any for 24 hours. I know it's hard but it's mind over matter. You can do it, just stay prayed up and before you know it your healthy days will be here.

chicken broth has been my saving grace. I hate sweet stuff and the savory flavor of chicken broth is amazing!!!! I use Knorr Caldo de Pollo.

It's usually on the Soup isle. It only takes a teaspoon for a 16 oz cup. Try it. I PROMISE it will help!!!

As far as hunger, the Protein shakes are what satisfy the hunger for me. Hope this helps!!! :)

Hazel I tried looking it up and couldn't get any nutrition info on it. Do you know what the sodium is?

My favorite thing during liquids was to boil black Beans in chicken broth and then purée them in the blender... Strain the beans and the Soup is amazing and fills good on your stomach. I even added a lil sour cream for a slight thickness and it was so amazing. It's just what you need to get away from all the sweet Protein flavors and drinks

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
