#LIQUID DIET FOR WEIGHT LOSS AT HOME FULL#
These simple broths soon became a basic recipe that I used to make other soups when I moved to full liquids and could create even greater soup recipes.įor all the broths, the base is water but if you do not have a problem with your blood pressure – feel free to use a packaged broth and doctor it up with some extra flavor by following the recipes below. Playing around in the kitchen, I made these three broths – a vegetable, chicken, and a beef broth. I found that canned/packaged broths were very high sodium and since I have high blood pressure, I needed an inexpensive substitute that I could make in batches and enjoy without worrying about raising my blood pressure and creating more issues. Sometimes this can be required up to a day or two before surgery as well.
For me, right after surgery I was required to stick to clear liquids for the first day or two before moving to full liquids. When did I start the liquid diet?ĭuring the liquid diet phase of the bariatric process, you’ll either be allowed full liquids (like milk, protein shakes, etc) or be requested to stick to clear liquids like broths and liquids that are essentially see through.
Oh….we all didn’t know that? Ok, well let me tell you….THIS was THE most difficult part of the process lol. So we all know that the bariatric liquid diet is one of the hardest parts of the process of getting the surgery.
