Liquid Diet To Speed Things Up!



Recommended Posts

I was not in a stall, but almost to my goal, so I thought maybe I could speed things up a bit. Yesterday I woke up and was not hungry at all. So I had a Muscle Milk Light Caffe Latte for Breakfast. Then for a snack I had a small can of V8 juice. Then at lunchtime I still wasn't hungry so I had a Pure Protein chocolate drink. never was hungry even for an afternoon snack. About 4:00 I thought I should probably eat something even though still not hungry. Made myself a salad with chopped romaine and RTE cut up chicken breast from costco. Never hungry the rest of the night. I drink MIO flavored water all day and probably take in about a gallon a day. This morning I am down 2 pounds and feel great. I guess my point is, if you definitely aren't hungry, it may be worth it to try this as long as you have RTD Protein Drinks on hand. I always keep them, even though I usually don't have trouble getting protein in. I still can't even get in 800 calories a day, and don't have any trouble at all getting in the right foods. I am 4 months out today and now only 15 pounds from my goal. Yesterday I bought a size 8 pair of Levi Skinny jeans. I have very skinny legs! I chew a Bariatric Advantage Iron pill and two Bariatric Advantage Complex Multi Vitamins each day. May be a great way to break a stall. I will definitely do this liquid thing at least once a week or if not hungry, just have a RTD Protein Drink for a meal. Only the RTD though. I could never handle any I had to make from powder. LOVE MY SLEEVE SOOO MUCH!

      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.
