Liquid diet..mission impossible?



Recommended Posts

My doctor required 37 days liquid diet do to Bmi. I lost 27 pounds. I did have a 2 cheats the whole time. I thought wow this doctor is crazy who can do this. I weigh in the high 300. If I can do it so can you. I have never ever been able to diet for longer than a week. It's really put in prospective my mental issues with food. I didn't realize all the time and effort that I gave food. I had my surgery yesterday and it has been such a breeze. I have very little pain in my left side and no gas pain yet. Just remember the prize on the other side.

I start my preop on Sunday..2 weeks of nothing but liquid. I have the worst anxiety about it and frankly I feel like its just not possible to live 2 entire weeks without food. Like at this point I can't imagine going 1 day without food let alone 14. How.is.this.done?? So much of my life is focused around food..I'm scared of this diet!!

My Bariatric surgeon requires 2- Liquid Protein Meal Replacements and 1- regular,low fat, high Protein, low carb meal a day x 14 days....I could NOT live (nor think that's rational) to live on ALL liquids for 14 days prior to being sleeved. Maybe you van ask about one low fat/ high protein meal per day.

      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.
