Recommended Posts

I just screwed up big time. I am on my 3 week liquid diet. I made it through week one just fine but today (day 9) I cheated, bad, ate the mac n cheese I made for my son. Last few days have been rough. It is our county fair and my older son shows animals so I have to be there all week smelling all those greasey sweet wonderful smells. I My hubs doesnt understand why being on a liquid diet that makes me tired and cranky I would not want to have the 2 year old at the fair with me(btw he's unemployed so no reason he cant keep the 2 yr old) . I also got the world worst sunburn yesterday. So today I broke. Good news is I have 12 days left to get my **** together. Tme to brush off and figure out how to get through the rest of the week!e I made for my son.

Bless your heart, I understand how you feel, however, your not doomed! this is what makes us human, trial and error, so we fall down, we don't just stay laying down right? We get up and continue. . .so girl, get up and continue. . .I really don't understand why doctors put y'all on these 2 week liquid diets, i had a bmi of 45 and mine didn't think it was necessary to "torture" a person that way. . . I know from what alot of you say it's because of some liver shrinkage thing. . . I personally think it's a doctor controls the patient thing. . . you'll be ok, you didn't mess up, never think that about yourself, we spent enough years beating ourselves up because we're not good enough. . . just get back up and continue your path. . . Good luck!!!! It's almost over, then the journey REALLY begins. . .and what a journey it is!

good for you Steph!! It is really hard... the liquid diet. I am about to start our two week one August 30th. I remember from the 7 day our doctor wanted us to do just how hard it can be. I am generally ok after the 3rd day.. but I will tell you that the smell of food can turn you into part grizzly haha.. I might have knocked over my coworker for his hotdog. ROFL.. hang in there you are doing the right thing and change will be coming! : D

      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.
