QUESTION: How did you survive your liquid diet?

[READY4CHANGE2013 88]

Ok! I PROMISE you I will not complain. I've been on a liquid diet now for 5 days and I'm going crazy!! I need something different because these broths are now making me NAUSEATED!! I have switched to ramen noodles seasoning and that seems to help alot. What else OTHER than Protein Shakes and broth did you drink?? I am doing Water and gatorade as well...THANKS ALL!!

We did powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken broth with taco seasoning (hey we were desperate! And it tasted good), with ramen noodles, with hot sauce. We were allowed vegetable Soup which we also flavored with everything possible.

Hmmmmm, I did Tomato Soup and it was DEVINE!! I'm trying to be good but it's proving to be a challenge. Did you eat popsicles or Jello? I didn't get any guidelines OTHER than a liquid diet. So I'm willing to try anything.

Yes we were allowed sugar free popsicles and Jello. We were also allowed 2-3 cups of vegetable Soup as long as it didn't have starchy vegetables (no potatoes, corn, peas, squash, etc). A bowl of that only has 50 calories. So 3-4 shakes, and 3 cups of soup a day, plus my husband had the Popsicles and Jello if he was still hungry.

ok. I'm going to try that....THANKS A BUNCH!

On top of the above, I was allowed SF pudding, greek yogurt, cream of potato Soup (and any other cream soup).

I would suggest that you try to keep your calories between 800-1000 as you do this, and cut as much fat and carbs as possible. Enjoy!

My NUT removed the cream of potato option (along with the mashed potatoes I was allowed on pureed) when I was allowed to start my soft foods. The caloric intake is so low at the beginning that any calories were better than no calories. A week or three of carby Soup (and really, how much could we really take in) was a few hundred calories a day MAX.

I do miss mashed potatoes and gravy a little. MMmmmmm....

I can't get in over 700-800 calories now and that's GREAT day. I average 400-600 on a normal basis.

She's pre-op though. She'd probably be dying on what you and I are eating these days

Oh lordy! I didn't even see that. Strike everything I said. Hold my advice for post op liquid diet. EEEEEK!

Pre-op I was allowed one yogurt a day, two Protein shakes and one lean meat and veggie dinner.

I definitely wasn't allowed Gatorade unless you are drinking G2.

Sorry about that!

You might try Crystal Light and herbal teas in varying flavors, and YES to Jello and SF popsicles, they made the liquid diet do-able.

Yay! So happy to hear that. I do think a variety in flavors makes the whole thing a lot easier to get through.
