You know you have started your liquid diet when....



Recommended Posts

Your toothpicks start collecting dust.

The only thing in your dishwasher is spoons, bowls and cups

You think slimfast tastes like manna from heaven

You pay $4.50 for a bottle of 'Protein water' and think you've treated yourself

You think boullioun cubes are worth their weight in gold.

You don't think putting pizza in a blender would be that bad

Your blender gives out from exhaustion

Your jaws start to atrophy from lack of use

You start to use fuzzy logic, if Jello is okay, then spam can't be far behind...

You are on day four and everyone says first three days were the worst and you can't tell the difference

You are afraid to watch television in case you see commercials about food

You are afraid to go grocery shopping

You start getting envious of the cat or dog crunching their pet food

You don't ever want to hear the word smoothie again!!!

What else???

This is about a preop liquid diet:

Every corner has a fast food restaurant you would like to snack on

Each and every TV commerical is about food...and you get closer to the TV because you can smell the foodeak

Everyone around you is eating

Break room at work is stocked full of goodies for all to share

You can only smell food...and it smells so good

Your dreams are about eating a a buffet

You look forward to a chewable Vitamin

You can smell everything and it smells 100 times better.

You consider divorcing your husband because he popped popcorn.< /p>

You accidently get a sliver of onion in your chicken broth and you get mad cause you ate it too fast.

      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.
