R u doing this?? I need ideas!!!

I'm still on all clear but not full liquid and I don't think it's two weeks long. It's hard to get liquid in though, just count is my best advice! I have a big GNC Water bottle that I put the liquid in and I know I have to get at least two of those in in the day. The hospital gave me little one oz cups and I have 4 every hour (or try)! Good luck Ashley!!

I am currently On full liquid diet. My two week post-op is Wednesday and I am hoping for some texture! I have followed the guidelines that my nutritionist has provided and i mainly eat malt o meal, sf Jello and pudding, applesauce, sf Popsicles, strained Soups but mostly Tomato Soup. The list also says baby food but I am creeped out by this. After the first week I tried instant mash potatoes because I found myself getting hungry and this was recommended by my nutritionist. I have tolerated everything just fine, even though I sometimes feel I am able to eat more than I should be able to! Good luck! I also found a lot of ideas thrown around in the recipe and food threads.

I could feel hunger on day four- the nutritionist said it was because swelling was going down. I also noticed being able to eat a lot more (2-4 ounces of applesauce or Greek yogurt!). I go for my 2 week post op on Wednesday so hopefully I get reassurance that this is normal! My husband had surgery a couple of years ago and he was very similar to how you are explaining- not able to eat even an ounce of food and difficulty getting in all Fluid requirements. Everyone is different I guess, I just hope it doesn't interfere with my weight loss!

My doctor has me drining 2 oz of Protein Shake (medifast) 4 times per day and as much Water as my heart desires. Thats it. Next Thursday will be 2 weeks and my paperwork says I will move to soft/pureed foods such as cottage cheese or scrambled eggs. Its interesting to see how each doctor does it differently.

Why are we only allowed 30ccs if liquid at first every 15 mins? It's not enough sometimes! There has to be a reason. Can't we just fill up a Water bottle and drink throughout the day? Can the pouch stretch if it has too much liquid early on?

You can drink more. The 2 ounces every 15 minutes is a guide to help you track and meet the. 64 ounces. Just sip and don't take gulps. When you get further out you will be able to drink without sipping. I am 11 weeks and finally can but I am still cautious

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
