Question:
liquid diet

I am thinking about doing a three day liquid diet to try and break this plateau I am on. What exactly is considered liquid. I know sugar free jello, but what are some more things. I am 5months post op. Thanks!    — cindylou56 (posted on November 13, 2003)

For being 1 week post-op <lap-band>..Liquids are very familiar to me...I have been having chicken & beef broth, sf jello, crystal-lite,ff cream soups and sf fruit juices <apple juice>..Also for a treat I get Won-ton soup from the Chinese restaurant and only eat the broth...I could eat that all day long...So yummy...

Protein shakes are also liquid and just because you want to do all liquids does not mean that you should sacrifice nutrition or protein.

Hi there, I would suggest using chicken and/or beef broth with a powdered protein supplement. Make sure you are getting 60-80 grams of protein a day and taking a multiple vitamin with calcium. I would also check with your dietician/nutritionist/or doctor about what you want to do and chances are he can guide you about how to set it up so you lose while taking care not to hurt yourself. Good luck and keep up the good work. Lorrie Plate
