I am super excited about this journey! I started the two week liquid protien diet today. Had a few rough Patches but for the most part was not too bad.

HI!! Looks like we have more in common than just our surgery date.....our start and goal weight is almost identical.

I too am on day 4 of liquid diet. Its going okay. My hunger level has been tolerable but the mental struggle has been tough BUT...this too shall pass.

hey! thats great! its nice to know when youre not the only one out there!

 

i completely agree about it being more of a mental struggle! i dont feel that hungry really... but its like i WANT food (in contrast to NEED it). everywhere i look, there's food! i was joking with my friend that i feel like an addict on detox. literally.

do you have to do 2 weeks of liquid afterward too?

That is an excellent way to describe it.....detox!!

You have to do two more weeks of liquids after?? Bummer.

I have to do one week of liquids after but can add sugar free hot chocolate and then the second week I get to start the mushy foods. I told my husband Jul 9 I get to eat cottage cheese and mashed potatoes!! So looking forward to that.

My husband had carpal tunnel surgery today so I had to fix dinner for he and the kids......I made it but it was hard to remember not to lick the spoon!!

I am trying to think of this as an exercise in the discipline training I have been missing all my life and will need to find in order to succeed at this. Plus I keep telling myself each day I mark off that to cheat now would be throwing all the work out I have already done!

      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.
