FAQs for liquid diets

“I had surgery on my throat and soylent made the recovery so much easier than it would have been. It's easy nutrition and hydration. On days where jello hurt and applesauce was howling torture, I was still able to drink these and somehow they seemed to lessen the pain. It's like the thick fluid would coat everything and cool it down.Coffee was my favorite every morning, cacao was good too. I lived on these 3x a day for two weeks.”

"Just had bariatric surgery (sleeve) in early March. You're on a super strict liquids only diet after for TWO WEEKS. Also, you're on a liquid diet one to two weeks BEFORE the surgery , depending on your doctor. So for three weeks I had nothing but protein shakes. Please believe me when I say this stuff kept me sane. At this point I've tried all the protein shakes on the market. The dairy stuff made me sick, other vegan brands did as well or tasted awful. Soylent's Strawberry and Banana flavor kept me full and satisfied! The low sugar and 20g of protein were ideal numbers from my nutritionist, so everyone was happy here. I've recommend this to everyone!"

"I used this for a month while recovering from dental surgery . The chocolate flavor is really good as is strawberry. This really made meals easy since I didn't have to plan too much what I could and couldn't eat. The taste is also yummy so that could be a good or bad thing for you as you might tend to go back for one more for a snack or dessert"
