started liquid diet today



Recommended Posts

Today is day 1 of my week long liquid diet and it is going well so far. I cant believe that this time next week i will be banded. I am still almost as nervous as I am excited but know this is going to be great!

I don't post often but thanks to everyone for being such a support when I do! This site has been invaluable and I appreciate all of my band buddies very very much! :thumbup:

Good luck on your pre-op diet. You are lucky that you only have to do one week. I'm on day 8 of 14. The first few days I had headaches but, by day 4 I felt like myself. It is hard still cooking for the family and only having a shake for myself. We've got to keep our eyes on the prize! You can do it. Keep us updated. Best wishes.

You can do it! The first few days were the worst for me on pre-op liquids... the last couple of days I was completely OK with all liquids.< /p>

      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.
