Starting liquid diet



Recommended Posts

I'm starting my liquid diet today. My surgery is on March 26th 2015 so I'm starting my two week liquid diet today. Can't believe I will be having surgery in two weeks. I'm excited and scared st the same time. Been trying not to think about it too much cause I was having trouble sleeping. Drinking Premier Protein shakes, chicken broth with GENEPRO mixed in, sugar free Jello, zero calorie poweraid,and Water. Yum yum :) Hope it goes by quickly and smoothly.

Welcome to the March 26th club @Starespunn! I'm a week into my pre op diet so good luck! I hear it gets easier lol

I figure the best attitude to have about all this is excitement for the future.

On day six of my pre-op diet. Hasn't been so bad. I'm drinking lots of Water and hot Decaf tea. Trying not to think too far ahead just taking one day at a time- even still March 23rd can't come soon enough :)

Day 1 of clear liquid diet, and it's been pretty hard. I'm going to make some chicken broth tomorrow. I like seeing the updates, it helps to know I'm not the only one. lol. Good luck tomorrow!

I'm on day 2 of 3.... I check in for surgery Monday morning the 16th at 5:30am!

I don't have to do Clear Liquids, so I've been drinking Premier Protein drinks, Low Cal G2 and Water. I looked at the chicken broth but I don't want to have that much sodium. But, if I had to do 2-3 weeks of liquid diets I'd do it.

I got V8 juice from costco but thought I'd better wait on that until after surgery even though I don't have to do clear liquids.< /p>

Good luck to everyone, were in the home stretch now! :)

On my liquid diet I was able to have Tomato Soup, Soups with a cream base, French onion Soup, Jello made with fruit juice, smoothies, and anything without chunks. My surgeon had me substitute one meal with liquid starting 3 weeks out, 2 meals on second week before, and then three liquid meals a day the week before. I didn't have to do total clear until 1 day prior. I had gastric bypass on 12/16/14, and had absolutely no complications. My liver was shrunken, so the liquid diet did work. Good luck!

Today I just started my 2 weeks liquid diet and my surgery is April 23rd. Question? My friend had bypass done in February and she told me that was ate hard boiled egg whites (no yolk) throughout the 2 week liquid diet. She said her surgery was fine and the doctor said everything looked good. Has anyone else tried egg whites or other alternatives?

      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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
