2 week liquids-scared!



Recommended Posts

As hard as it is, I would follow your surgeons orders. I'm on day four of a 21 day liquid diet and I'm already 7 pounds down! I've heard that the more you stick with your pre op diet, the more successful your surgery will be!

Well the thing is that every ones DR has a different pre op diet so sticking to one specific diet does not ensure a more successful surgery. I would do 90% liquids and if you absolutely must have something then have a zero carb snack or meal. Just do whatever you have to do to shrink your liver, start the weight loss momentum, and keep your surgeon happy.

I had two weeks of Bariatric Advantage shakes, 3 per day & also 2- 100 cal yogurts. The two day clear liquid (no protein) thing was rough, and I've been drinking Isopure for one week now. Tomorrow begins full liquids for me, so I can have creamy Soup & regular Protein Shakes again.... I cannot wait & may have cream of chicken for Breakfast, lol!!! Lost a bunch of weight though!

Well as I said before, I think it is smart to follow your doctor's orders. They know what is best for your body and how to get your liver to the size they want.

      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.
