Liquid Diet Support



Recommended Posts

I went cold turkey on food and caffeine when starting the liquid diet. I can't imagine working nights without caffeine at least! Good luck to you. Stay strong! I'm at Day 14 of all liquid. I've got one more day, then surgery Thursday. I weigh myself every morning and that helps to keep me motivated. I've lost 22 pounds in 2 weeks. Keep at it!

Hope you had a successful surgery! I had to do the Optifast for 2 weeks too & was so proud I didn't cheat either! A nurse at my surgeons office gave me the encouragement I needed when she told me they had opened a few people up & could tell they didn't stick to the diet, so they didn't do the surgery because their liver was too fatty. I said to myself oh no that won't be me!

Just got back from Walmart, got everything ready for this pre diet before surgery the 31st, got my Unjury unflavored, chicken broth, and chocolate, bought all types of crystal light flavors, and alot of decaffeinated lipton tea, i have plenty of splenda, and truvia, bought a package of lean beef that has 4 slices in it. bought some frozen plain broccoli and cauliflower, and a microwave steamer, got my beef and turkey Jerky. I am prepared. oh yea got the meds the surgeon prescribed for after surgery, got some benadryl cream for the itching everyone talks about. got that crappy grape flavored magnesium citrate for the day before surgery and an extra bottle in case a week after I cant poop. bought 2 lean cuisines that i could find that didnt have Pasta in it.

I think I am ready, just wonder if i can get them to give me a xanax for my nerves haha, plz jesus dont let me puke.

      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.
