So Sick of the Liquid Diet



Recommended Posts

I had GS surgery on 9/13 and I've rebounded so much better than I ever thought. No real pain to speak of, or any complications. Between the two weeks before and the last five days I'm sick to death of these Protein shakes and this liquid phase. I've enjoyed some SF Jello and pudding here and there and some Tomato Soup and broth but I am so ready for some other food!!!!!!! I can't take it anymore lol!!!!

Yeah, it gets old, but it's for the best. It's more of a prescription than a suggestion because you're healing. Your time for real food will come soon enough.

I'm also a 9/13!!! Hi, you are quite fortunate...for the gas and bloating I have had are most frustrating. I've also been up and about more than I or even some others, thought I would be. That part is good! Good luck with pureed food stage--I'm so looking forward to making some good healthy fresh veggie /protein blended Soups as Autumn arrives!

I'm 9/15, clear liquid only. I'm confused how to reach 800 calories??

I was told not to count calories at that stage. If you're allowed Protein shakes - that's really the only calories you'd be getting. Are you getting any Protein?
Yes, 1 shake a day at least, it's about 33g protein and 200 calories. There's no way I could get in 4 of those to meet my 80-100 protein goal.

That doesn't sound possible with clear!!!

I don't think it is. It'd be like 50+ popsicles lol.

Keep trying and do the best you can! Protein is critical to healing and weight loss! Just keep sipping! You will feel so much better when you're able to meet protein and Fluid goals!!! Hang in there @@rolosmom7 !

Thanks. I'm asking for some applesauce (SF) to be permitted to help swallow meds. I have an extremely strict surgeon, but I don't see how the applesauce could hurt 5 days out?

Hopefully can get a 2nd shake in tonight.

I was sleeved on 9/13 and dr says full liquids until 9/27. I cannot get enough Protein in at all and am very weak. I feel fine as far as pain goes as there is none of that. I just cannot do anything.

I have eaten yogurt, drank shakes and sipped tea all day. But seriously what can you do for weakness. Feel like I have been drained of everything I have.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
