How did you feel on the liquid diet?



Recommended Posts

I'm on day 9 and I expected to be tired and crabby, but much to my surprise I've actually felt more energetic than usual. I had a little bit of stomach trouble in the beginning and of course I'm hungry but I'm really surprised by how good I feel. Anyone else?

Only thing with me is I get light headed especially when standing up. Glad you are doing well!

I had no problem with either the pre-op or post-op diets. I guess I just knew I had to do it and decided not to fight. I really wanted the band, so I was up for just about anything!

After day 5 I was just dandy... Headaches gone, hunger not even too bad...it's like my body got used to the nutrition I was feeding it and adapted. It was hard of course just the fact of not eating but every day I would step on the scale and it was a smaller number than the day before so I was a happy camper.

I lost 11 lbs during my pre surgery diet, which everyone needs to do in order to shrink your liver. It was hard for me the first few days, but I got used to it. I did feel better around day 3, but then noticed I would feel light headed and dizzy, but my on call nurse told me to drink more liquids, since I might be dehydrated. I felt better after taking her advice.

Frankly, I felt like a physical and emotional wreck. It was the worst part of the process for me. But I promise you those feelings do not last forever.

      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.
