1wk until I start my liquid diet!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. I am on day 4 of the 7 day liquid diet. I did pig out. I didn't do too much damage' date=' but I did eat what I wanted. Actually the liquid diet isn't too bad. I am drinking the Bariatric Essentials, a lot of Crystal Light/Water, and sugar free popsicles. I could not stomach the broth. Ugh! :blink: My surgery is on Thursday, 2/14/2013 (Valentine's Day). I have lost 10lbs in 3 1/2 days. I have dogs and I have to walk them. Also, I love music and like to dance. I also like to clean so the constant sweating I think has helped with me losing so fast. I would tell you all to keep yourselves positively occupied. By day 3-4, it becomes quite normal. I am on a 800 calorie restriction, therefore, I try not to overdo it in the cardio department but as you lose it makes you feel better and better. I am more concerned with the liver shrinking aspect of all of this which is why I made my mind to not cheat and follow the doctors directions to the T. Good luck to you all. :)[/quote']

Congrats and good luck this week.

I just started a low carb pre op diet today. I need to be down 14 lb before surgery on March 10th. Its crazy how much carbs are in things I didn't think about. I really got to start charting the food I eat, before I eat it, NOT after. lol... I had a salad with an apple and green peas on it and omb.. there go the carbs! lol then I put a banana in a shake, and what do you know! more carbs! crap!

I need to get a hold on this... lol...

Major shopping is needed for me to get this down.

      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.
