Hey everyone. I had a rough night on my 3rd night of my 2 week liquid diet. Been feeling good during the day but only getting around 360 calories a day and having trouble getting in all 64 oz of water. Maybe that's why. I constantly have to get up to use the bathroom due to so much water intake. Last night around 3am I was wide awake. Went to bathroom then started to feel nervous and anxious. Then I became dizzy and hot so I went to the door to get some fresh, cool air and next thing I remember was my husband picking me up off the floor. I had fainted. I don't know if it's my nutrients, if I'm dehydrated, or something else. Maybe blood sugar. What did you eat during the day on the liquid diet and how much? I know I need to do at least 500 in my program, to shrink my liver. But I haven't been that hungry. Have you ever heard of anyone feeling that way and passing out? It's making me question all this. And if I will be able to get the nutrients and water I will need after surgery.

I'm on day #13 of liquid diet. I misread my directions at first so the first couple days were hell. I had 4 protein shakes a day with just water in between. I called my dietician and she said broth, SF jello and pops Ickes were also ok. My book also listed a lot of the negative calorie veggies too, I'm able to do cucumber and tomatoes. I'm down 5lbs in 13 days :/ the water was tricky but like clockwork now. I do 2 33oz smart water bottles throughout the day. See if you can change it up like that. The Popsicles really helped me. Good Luck!

I'm starting my Liquid diet on Friday, for 7 days. I have stocked up on a lot of approved liquids. I have read a lot about "bone broth", and although the idea of it grosses me out, pacific organically makes one that's very low sodium, low calorie, and 9 grams of protein in one cup. So I'm going to give it a shot. They also make low sodium vegetable broth, mushroom broth, and several other soups. I think they will really help me as far as variety goes.

I like pacific with a little bouillon added...it was just what I needed after surgery. I also really like the Adkins lift clear drinks because they have 20 grams of protein and taste pretty good.

I'm drinking a shake or eating every 2 to 3 hours so I won't get hungry. Ensure you DRINK the Water too. I'm in the restroom every 15 minutes! It's tiresome, but we HAVE to ensure no complications.

YOU CAN DO THIS! ASK GOD FOR STRENGTH. I'VE ALREADY SAID A PRAYER FOR YOUR STRENGTH. YOU CAN DO THIS!!

Try this.

Here's what I'm using for shakes. This makes two 16oz Protein Shakes with around 200 cal 30 g of Protein and 15 g or less carbs. Add ice or Water until just over 32oz & blend. Two scoops of each powder, & 2 cups of most fruit blends keep you in the right range for carbs. Check first so you don't go over. Garden Of Life also has many nutients & 50 fruit and vegetable super foods. Drink one & save one for later.

I wouldn't be able to have the supplements you have shown as they have fruits and vegetables in my do not eat list. In addition to the shakes i take, I also have to restrict the amount of carbs I have from fruits and vegetables. All fruits are actually out of bounds during my two week pre-op diet. :-(

I'm on the same restrictions. 200 cal 15 or more grams of protein the more the better & 15 or less grams of carbs but 15 is acceptable & keeps you from having carb withdrawals. My nutritionist told me I could add to my smoothies as long as I didn't go over on carbs but try to hit 15 grams. Of course it has to be blended. You might double check this with your nutritionist.

Just emailed my Bariatric dietician about adding fruit/carbs & got this back. I'm also 1 week out from surgery. Of course as I said this is well blended with the powder & water or ice as close to 15 carbs as I can get & you can subtract the fiber so roughly 1 cup of fruit & the protein powder comes out at 15 grams of carbs.

As long as you stay under the 15 carbs you are fine.

Hello Dan this is Tim again. Just wanted to verify that adding fruit to make smoothies was still OK at this point as long as I stay within the 15 carbs?

BAMM!
