How to push through liquid phase



Recommended Posts

I feel like I'm dying here. 1 more week of liquids then about 4 weeks of purée before solids. I'm meeting all my protein/water goals with shakes + unflavored Protein in just about everything I eat. I just feel so hungry and unsatisfied. Could the fact that the gas full feeling is mostly gone but I'm thiiiiiiiis close to cheating with tuna but I want to be a good patient

How the hell did you guys survive the liquid phase? I'll also add that I HATE all broth and Soups that I've tried. Anyone use a canned Soup they love and just strain out the solids?

Yes, you can do this. As long as it's thin and lump-free, it should work.

I know it's hard, but take it one day at a time, and before you know it you'll be on a normal diet, and this will all be a distant memory!

Congrats on meeting your goals, it took me time to meet the Protein and I still don't meet the Water goal. But my diet was different than yours. I was 6 weeks on liquids then on pureed for one week then on soft for two weeks then advanced to regular foods but no rice, Pasta, or bread. Just try to stay strong and maybe add different types of liquids like if you're allowed full liquids then pudding is a full liquid that may give you more satisfaction. I just sipped chicken broth, but the warmth was very satisfying to 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.

        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.

      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!
