Liquid Diet Ideas



Recommended Posts

First off...I'm new to this site. So...HELLO EVERYONE!

For insurance purposes, I'm on the fast track for surgery. I'm HOPING to have surgery the week before Thanksgiving.

My nutritionist informed me that I will have to be on a liquid diet for 8 days before surgery.

What are some of your favorite liquid-based Meal Replacements? I have my booklet that she gave me and I plan on following that. I would like ideas from my peers to see what their thoughts are.

Thanks in Advance!

I tried 4 different types of clear Protein Drinks and hated them all. The premier clear from Sam's was tolerable.
The Premier Protein shakes are good, chocolate and vanilla. Don't like the banana or the Carmel.
Sugar Free Jell-O, low calorie Gatorade.
Basically the liquid diet sucks and is going to be very hard.
Get yourself mentally prepared.
Being on liquids, especially Clear Liquids is torture.

Jsemmig, No Alcohol. When I had my Psyche visit I asked the Dr what would disqualify a person from getting approved. He said if you were an alcoholic because you cant drink alcohol during your recovery period. My surgeon told me the same.

I am currently 15 days post-op and so I've been in liquid land. I bought a bunch of different kinds so that I would have a variety.

The ON chocolate whey by Optimum Nutrition, which I got at costco is good. I also bought a bunch of the Syntrax Nextar kinds that come in a ton of flavors. The Peanut Butter cookie is really good, thought it doesn't dissolve all the way. Maybe that's the cookie bits ;) For my pre-op, I mostly drank the premade vanilla Premier combined with a little almond milk and a few strawberries. That was really good. Good Luck.

If you have a ninja, My favorite thing was Progresso Tomato basil soup! Strained, of course! Warm filling. Be careful with canned Soups if you are watching sodium.
Matrix perfect chocolate shakes were great!
I had to do 10 days before surgery.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
