4Th Day If Liquid Diet...feeling Down



Recommended Posts

So I'm actually doing so much better than I thought I would. I thought I would be trying to bite small children by now but its been ok. Now don't get me wrong I'm hungery, but its ok because I am ready to have this surgery and I know its the right thing. But..... I miss food. I just really enjoy food and cooking. Cooking and eating a great dinner with my husband makes me happy. I didn't think I would feel sad and down. I was worried more about just being hungry and wanting food. I hope this is something that will pass and I won't always feel like I'm missing out??

Well, the good news is you will be able to eat again. Just not as much. If you go into it with a quality over quantity mindset, you don't really miss it a whole lot.

Hang in there! The light at the end of the tunnel will be here before you know it!!!!!! It will help too when you can have "full liquids" like creamy Soups and such. You are doing great thus far- keep it up. This will soon be a distant memory!

I'm on full liquids but I was told only Tomato Soup and strained cream Soups nothing my body has to breakdown. That soup sounds delicious! Thanks!

      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.
