Anybody doing liquid diet right now?



Recommended Posts

I am on day two of the 10 day liquid diet. I got the carnation Protein Powder, they have the right amount of protien per shake when you mix them with skim milk and they are not thick and nasty. the other kind of protien shakes have too much protien in them to drink 6 of them a day. =) Also buy french onion Soup and eat the broth from that, it has the most flavor when you are ready for broth. =) I would love a piece of pizza today. ha!

Hey... it could be worse! I have 6 weeks of Pre-Op diet!

I'm already on it and my surgery isn't until May! :)

Best wishes to you!

Thanks for the tips guys! I hate Protein shakes, but I will definetely try the broth. I was thinking of buying the Protein Shakes made by Atkins. They have 15 grams of protein...they are super expensive though.

The sacrifice we make for beauty! ;-)

you can get sample packs from GNC. You really want to get this nailed down before surgery. Protein shakes are a staple item. You can get protein from broth, but it will take an awful lot to equal the protein you get from a shake. My favorite is the Premier brand that you can get from Sam's or costco. Not overly sweet or thick. The vanilla can be altered with some sugar free syrups. The chocolate is really good too.

My surgery is April 29th so I've been trying to find the right Protein drinks for when I start liquids too. Today I went into a Vitamin Shoppe ( they're online too) and they have protein water! I bought 3 individual bottles to try but each bottle has 40g protein, 0 sugar, 0 carbs. The guy that I talked to in there said that's how he gets most of his protein. He said they are really good and you can just sip all day :-)

Try carnation Breakfast. U can mix it with skim milk and make it the taste and consistancy you like. When u mix with skim milk it gives about 16 grams of protien and doesn't have to taste thick and nasty. Hang in tjere on the liquid diet. Mine was 10 days too and it is hard. Try French onion. Soup the broth is very flavorful and make some Jello jiigglers! Makes it seem like you have something to chew on. I am in the hospital now had surgery on Friday. So far so good.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
