Bored with liquids



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery 11/30 but I have been on a clear liquid diet since 11/16. I see my doc this coming Friday and I really hope to move to the full liquids because this is really starting to get to me! How did the rest of you work through this? I don't want to cheat and I know I won't, I am just miserable! Any advice, tips or even some clear liquid suggestions?

I've been on Clear Liquids since 11/2... my surgeon requires them for 2 weeks before and 4 weeks after surgery (plus protein). I'm climbing the walls wanting to eat actual food. No advice... Just sympathy.

Yikes. That's a long time to be on clear liquids! You also have my sympathy.

That being said, full liquids will seem like a walk in the park for you! ;)

Unflavored Protein powder in chicken or beef bone broth was my saving grace during the clear liquids. I also added some broth enhancer that I found at the grocery store to make it a little bit better.

Did you make your own Bone Broth?

Actually, we found some at Sam's Club that we like. I still use it my recipe to flavor and to cook down green Beans.

I asked because I've been researching the benefits of bone broth and was going to start making my own. I saw some at the store and picked up a couple boxes. It was the worst tasting stuff ever. I'll have to check out Sam's club until I can get to the butcher and get some bones. Thank you.

      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?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
