Liquid Diet Starts Tomorrow



Recommended Posts

Planned a nice super with my family tonight, it was delicious and fun! However I felt disconnected, like I was secretly moving away from then and nesting inside to prepare for a whole new life starting tomorrow. I'm just headed to my Aunties house for some wine and potentially the biggest cry of my life, I'm feeling pretty sad but not depressed, it's all apart of grieving I imagine. I love my family, here's a pic of them:) Over and out! xo

Cry your heart out!!! Your ending a relationship. If you're like many of us, food has been your constant companion, what you turned to in hard times and how you celebrated good times. In a way you are losing one of your best friends. In the end, it's a good change, but still a very hard and stressful change. You'll do great but go ahead and cry it out :)

I'm on day 3 of my liquid diet. I'm hungry and have a bit of a headache, but it's not too bad. Luckily I only have to do this for 1 week. Surgery on Aug 8.

I'm feeling kind of the same way... Scared of what is to come. Worried about the changes. BUt, I have to remind myself that I felt the same way each day before I had one of my children. I have 4 kids and 3 were induced labors and I cried my eyes out the night before because I was scared of what was to come. Even with the last one when I knew my life would be blessed beyond belief! I start my liquid diet on Wednesday. I feel like each meal I eat is a "last supper" (or lunch or breakfast). BUT, I am so sure that this is what is best for me and my family in the long run. I have to remind myself that I am more important to my family than my food is to me.

Good Luck... Keep in touch!

      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.
