This liquid diet is making me more hungry



Recommended Posts

fruit and veggies are BAD next choices...too much Fiber in them.

It's best to follow your doctor's advice and take reintroductions very slowly.

When you need to move on to the next stage, the next foods are cream of wheat or oat meal thinned with skim milk or almond milk, sugar free pudding, creamed Soups with the chunks strained out, or yogurt.

Are you tolerating the Protein drinks, are you able to drink well without pain or nausea? You have to be able to do both before introducing anything new.

Just my 2 cents, but I doubt you could consume so much of anything pureed to cause problems - but if you are determined to try - only do half a teaspoon of something super blended - no seeds or skins or strings in some thinned Soup. Maybe split pea soup blended and thinned down with Bone Broth Could try half teaspoon of a baked sweet potato, or butternut squash soup.

Everyones plan is different and everyones tolerance is different too.

SF chocolate pudding made me want to barf, I may never eat it again! Cream of asparagus blended was sooo much better. Just go really really slow, half teaspoon and wait 5 minutes.

Everyone gets sick of the stages and it seems to take forever and a day to get through them, but it does go faster and get better after the first 2 weeks. Just make sure to get the protein and liquids in, watch your skin for signs of dehydration - really wrinkled on top of the hand when you pinch the skin and not peeing much, darker pee. It is so hard to then take enough liquid in to get caught up. I found the whey protein drinks terribly constipating and that I had to drink a lot of liquids to make up for that. Hang in there.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
