First Day of 3 Day Liquid Diet-Surgery Date Thursday!



Recommended Posts

I am very excited to start my liquid diet today. I am thankful it is only for 3 days though. I really feel for those that must do it for 2 weeks. That has to be hard.

I had my "last supper" Saturday night with my family. We went to an all you can eat family style dinner and I ate like a piggy of course. And yesterday I said goodbye to McDonald's with 2 double cheeseburgers and a large fry. :biggrin:

Now that I hav ended my love affair with food, I am happy to say we have parted ways amicably and I am ready for my New Life where food will no longer be in control of me. I am so looking forward to being the thin person that I always feel like I am on the inside. I am ready to show the world!:)

I stopped in the smoothie King by my house this morning and am so glad that I did. For any of you that may have a Smoothie King in your area, I highly recommend it! They have the Gladiator shake that has 45 grams of Protein per shake! And they taste good as well. They can either make a shake for you in the store, or they also sell the powder in individual packets as well as a big tub. They also have another kind of pre-made shake that they sell that I haven't tried yet but that one has 32 grams of protein per serving. The place really isn't that expensive compared to what the Protein Shakes I have priced already cost. Plus, these shakes are much higher in protein than the others with little to no sugar. I think Smoothie King is going to be a lifesaver for me! :eek:

I weighed msyelf this morning knowing this is my high point. Since I am starting the liquid diet today and getting banded, I know it will all be downhill from here! I am so excited! I am going to start losing weight that I know finally will be the last time I ever have to lose that same weight again!

WOO HOO! I am ready, ready ready! And VERY excited! Good luck to all you other fellow bandsters out there and big ups to everyone else getting banded this week!

Three days is fantastic! I was only allowed 3 Bariatric Advantage shakes a day for 2 weeks.

Good luck with your surgery!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
