Starting Liquid Diet Tomorrow....



Recommended Posts

Not really sure how I feel....resigned? Certainly not thrilled...Had a passing thought about how it was my "last meal" and dinner and almost cried at the thought it was leftovers....but then it somehow seems to be perfectly in keeping with the notion that my current lifestyle is not something I should miss going forward....I don't know....anyway...just wanted to share.

Haha I feel your confusion! I ate leftovers before work tonight and thought I should've had a 'last supper' at my fav restaurant or something more grand than half a cold burrito! I guess that's just the addict in all of us craving one last fix, so to speak. I can honestly say I probably will miss my comfort foods at first but the benefits from this wls will far outweigh & provide much more comfort than any food. My diet starts today as well so here's to a fresh start! Good luck!

Hi, KarlzMom and Sashay! Don't worry about giving up your favorite foods -- you are still going to be able to eat pretty much everything you do now when you are banded -- you'll just eat a lot LESS of it and feel satisfied!

That was really scary to me when I was doing my last meals and liquid diet, but it actually turned out to be just fine. And. . . I hit my goal today! WOO-HOOO!!!! Cut to a year or so from now, and you will both be posting the same thing! :)

Best wishes for your success,

Catherine

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
