Starting My 9 Day Liquid Diet Monday 6/18



Recommended Posts

Im a lil nervous now. It is on. I'm excited but the support of my family is lacking. Their negativity is starting to wear on me. Idk if this has happened to anybody else who went through this, any advise would be appreciated. I feel like I can't lean on anyone for support. I know I'm better off having the surgery than not. I'll be healthier. But y can't my family see that? I guess I just needed to let that out.

Well 9 days here we come. I have come this far nothing is going to stop me now!

Praying for you hun, I'm sure it will all go well. Some people just don't understand what you're going through, but you've got the support you need right here :-))

Good luck. I found the pre-op diet one of the hardest parts of going through this. I was filled up, but I missed chewing and drinking the same stuff for 14days (per my doc) got really boring....really fast. On a positive note, the time did seem to fly by and before I knew it I was in surgery. Now it's been a little over two months and I am fifty pounds down. Before you know it you will be recovering and losing and feeling better every day. Good luck.

I can't wait 2 shop for smaller clothes . I hate taking pictures now at this size 233. My sorority takes lots of pictures . I can't wait 2 be skinny on them. My hair stylist takes pictures of my hair and put them on Facebook. I told her, when I get smaller I want 2 be on her salon wall. I refuse 2 do it now. She cute my hair short already. I think my face is 2 fat for short hair.

Good luck

June 26 is my life changer date. We can do this!!!!!!!

You will be in my thoughts and prayers, and I'll be sending you support through brainwaves and heart strings! I wish your family was more supportive. Just remember who you are doing this for, and why you are doing it! They will come around and be thankful you did this too, and hopefully understand that you are doing this to save your life, so that you can be in their lives for many more years to come!

I have to agree ( even tho it is my first day of only 9 days) thank god idk if I could go 14. Today was hard enough. Tomorrow will be better. I hope it does fly by. I should have taken vacation days this week then I could sleep through it! Lol just a thought.

The liquid diet has my head hurting. On day 2. I think that's one of the side effects of Bariatric Advantage shakes. It takes me 2 hours 2 drink it. My hubby went and bought some unsweet frozen fruit today. Maybe the fruit will help.

Ain't no stoppin us now,were on the move !!!!!!<br />Sincerely<br /> Zeta

      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.
