Starving And Not Hardly Losing On Liquid Diet!



Recommended Posts

Was allowed full liquids last week and clear this week and I have lost 2lbs. Not 10 not expecting miracles I only cheated once and even with that I have kept 800 or less so day 10 and just 2 pounds :(

I flipped out because there were two days during my second week where the scale didn't move. Now I look back and laugh at myself! I know it's difficult, but be patient. Follow your post-op diet; it WILL start to come off.

It's better to lose 2 lbs than to gain 2 lbs. you have done good, even if you cheated 1 time. Just keep doing what your doing and it will come off. :)

Your body is still saying "WTH did you do to me????" There's a lot of adjusting going on in there that you can't see. No worries. :)

Your pre op diet isn’t about weightloss not the 2 week pre op diet before surgery its to shrink your liver it’s a completely different thing to a loosing weight diet to reach goal to get the green light for surgery and its different to the post op loosing weight diet.

This one for 2 weeks is just for shrinking the liver don’t jump on the scales and keep checking yourself out its not for weight you will just go crazy trying to make the scale move when its not for that.

I just started my liquid diet today and I must say man this is hard! Good thing I work up until I have my surg next wednesday!!! Does it get any easier????

Day 2 was the worst for me! By day 4 I was no longer homicidal. Still a short fuse and when I went to Clear Liquids I am adjusting again but it does get better.

I started my pre-op diet today, it wasn't as bad as i thought. I am hungry but it is 530 pm so I probably should eat. My biggest problem will be at night. Usually I have a cup of coffe but I can't so we'll see how the night goes.

      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.
