I wonder why i see everyone having to do clear diets and my livershrink diet has it where i can eat??? Dont understand

Sent from my LG-M210 using BariatricPal mobile app

I asked my doctor about this and he didn’t think the long clear liquid diets did much past a certain time frame. I’m sure it has to do with each patient as well but in his office it’s 2-7 days of liquid. I started liquid today, tomorrow is bowel prep and meds to “sterilize” digestive tract, surgery the next morning.

Does everyone have to wash with the surgical Soup the day before and morning of surgery?

Surgery yesterday and doing better today. Last night sucked. Couldn’t sleep at all. I think I slept for an hour then no more then 5-10 minutes. Every time I’d fall asleep my o2 levels dropped and the alarm would jolt me awake. Barium swallow this morning showed no issues so reward is ice chips - so good after going 36 hours nothing to drink. Bring petroleum free chap stick! Life saver those hours. Good luck to future November bypassers!

I had my RNY on November 7th, 2018. I am trying my hardest to get all fluids I need. Has anyone found a good combo of bariatric Vitamins to get everything we need?

Alex8706 - I had my bypass surgery on November 5th and I’ve been able to get everything in since. I take the chocolate Celebrate 4 in 1. It combines all your Vitamins and Protein in one shake. It’s been good to have that in the beginning!

Just got home and so glad to be out of the hospital! Now the work begins. Already fighting food association. Really would like to have a couple of triscuits and cheddar cheese - my go to come home snack...

Also, one wls patient went code blue today. All is good, she just stopped breathing for a bit. Scary.

I am dying to add some sort of different flavor or texture to my diet. Tuesday is my 2 week post-op and I will (hopefully) finally be able to move on to phase 3, pureed diet!!

My wife just brought home some vegetable broth and the different flavor is welcoming. SF popsicles have been my go to bland buster but I can’t wait for stage 3 either.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
