Have Anyone Taken Any Control Your Appetite Pills Will Doing The Liquid Diet?



Recommended Posts

I will be starting my liquid diet on Monday. However, right now I'm doing a healthy diet that my NUT have issued. It consist of one Protein Shake in the morning, a handful of walnut or almonds, and half cut of berries. For lunch and dinner a lean Protein such as chicken, fish or beef but it has to be the side of a deck card and veggies. I find myself starving. I have found some of my phentermine pills and I was thinking to take them while I'm doing my liquid diet. Any advice?

I would not do that. When is your surgery? The phentermine could affect your heart & EKG results.

Sounds like your sx is just a few weeks away, if you are fighting hunger cravings, call the Nut & see what they suggest. Mine basically said we could have as much Protein and veggies as we want.

during my liquid diet I chicken broth help with hunger.

I didn't have any limitation in calories so I can drink 5 Protein shakes + as much chicken broth + Water as much as I want.

so whenever I feel hungry I just drink the chicken broth and the hunger subside.

Good Luck with your surgery.

If you stick it out for a few days, ketosis will kick in which will naturally curb your hunger. Just DON'T CHEAT as that will prolong the period when you feel hunger. You might also find it helpful to save one shake until an hour before bedtime. During the day you can do other things to take your mind off your hunger but when your laying in bed, it can be pretty harsh without something in your belly.

I wouldn't suggest appetite suppressants. If you can get to day 3 it gets much easier. I can have sugar free popsicles and Jello, broth and 3 protien shakes. I'm always hungry physically but not appetite wise. I'm on day 4 & I'm down 7lbs in 3 days. Just stick to it and don't cheat, I feel I'm preparing for the two weeks of liquid after surgery. You can do this! I'm even having to prepare meals for my children and husband. And I haven't even licked my fingers after getting spaghetti sauce on it. I am praying a lot too. You will be able to do this! My surgery its monday I will pray that you get through your LD with ease :o) Best of luck :o)

      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.
