Starting The Liquid Diet



Recommended Posts

Day 4 of my liquid diet...still sticking to it thru Christmas. it's hard I will admit, I'm struggling with all the holiday food and candies all around, but my surgery is now less than a week away (December 31st) and I want to be ready as possible.

The Protein Shakes are ok, but the pineapple and apricot Protein Shake makes me feel sick .. Maybe that's a good thing since I'm not hungry. This site has been a godsend and a great support leading up to the big day... Thank you all.

I have to use all the food my doctor gave me. No swaying whatsoever. I couldn't tolerate the cream of brocolli so I switched to the cream of chicken. I will now need another box to substitute. I am drinking the Unjury chocolate shakes and health wise liquids.

Ah, the dreaded (but necessary, lol) liquid diet. What got me through was LOTS of GNC Total Lean Protein shakes and various flavors of broth from the Swanson brand. Not sure if it's still going on right now, but when I was doing my clear diet (I started on Dec 14 - 22) GNC was having a holiday special where it was buy two cases of Protein shake and get 1 free. The cases are 4 bottles of 12oz drink, and each case is about $10, so it saved me a good amount of money.

I am also on the pre op diet right now. I can have Protein shakes, sugar free Jello, broth, sugar free Popsicles. I must admit I thought the popsicles would be terrible because it is so cold out now, but crunching on them has been helpful.

GNC still has the buy 2 get 1 free, I just got some yesterday ... They're pretty good and there are 25grams of Protein per shake :)

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
