Liquid phase question



Recommended Posts

I'm still a little while out from my December 22nd sleeve, but I'm thinking ahead. Lipton makes a dry Soup with noodles in it. Is it okay to strain out the noodles and keep only the powder to make my own broth with? I did this during a colonoscopy prep and they said it was fine but I want to know if that applies for pre/post diet.

I'm basically wanting to fill a container with the powder and use a teaspoon to make 8 0z of broth. It's not completely see through clear, but slightly cloudy.....any thoughts? I would say the same as a bouillon cube.

Also, is adding a Protein powder to this an option to reach daily goals?

I would think the Soup would be okay as long as the sodium isn't too high. Yes, you can add Protein Powder to this. I have tried every Protein Shake under the sun and found I can tolerate Premier the best. I am two weeks out and struggle to get two of those down a day. Plus my Water. Everything else I drink or eat is just for fun really.

I'm almost positive this is what the broth was that my hospital served me after the surgery. It certainly tasted like it.

What Protein Powder do you recommend? I'm overwhelmed with the choices and am starting to sample different shakes to see what I want to get for my 10 day preOP. Premier are okay, but even a little too sweet. I'm a fruity person.

      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.

      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!!
