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!

      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!
