mommy2boys 40 Posted December 15, 2012 What kind of powdered Soup can you have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snow25 188 Posted December 15, 2012 They are called Optifast. It is the same brand as the shakes I am drinking. It is a prescription diet my doctor requires 2 weeks before surgery. It comes in chicken flavor and Tomato herb. Both kinds are actually pretty good. After shakes all day, it is a major treat to have the Soups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lolawaiting 83 Posted December 16, 2012 broth my savior! I ended up drinking 3 cups for a total of 30 calories and feel so much better. Good job snow! So I wish I only had a couple of more days to go... I'm worried about my poor class too- especially when I know this week will be filled with treats at school :/ I wish I could just get use to eating like this all the time... Protein shakes, sip broth through the day and a light dinner... Then maybe I wouldn't need surgery :/ oh who am I kidding? I'm already thinking about the delicious, healthy things I'll get to eat in a couple months 1 snow25 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lovealways 287 Posted December 16, 2012 So interesting seeing how different all liquid diets are! I start mine on New Year's Day for two weeks. I am allowed 6 glucerna shakes a day as well as Water, crystal light, broth, and sugar free icepops or Jello. It'll be a LOng two weeks!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mommy2boys 40 Posted December 16, 2012 I'm on day 3 LOL I'm not really hungry. But I really want something to chew. LOL. liquid diet crap LOL oh and ps I haven't lost a pound on this LOL. Does anyone know how.it shrinks your liver? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kisersassy 369 Posted December 16, 2012 on my liquid diet I was allowed cottage cheese. so whenever I would feel hunger in between shakes I would take a bite and it git me through. the losing weight helps shrink your liver and being on a strict liquid diet can cause fast rapid weight loss. its nothing to lose up to 15 pounds while on it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cdssmith 6 Posted December 16, 2012 Those on fast Chew gum and eat Popsicles. It's all in the mind so just keep telling yourselves that it is for your health and you don't want complications. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snow25 188 Posted December 17, 2012 3 more days of liquid diet. This is the first diet I have not cheated on. I'm in the zone now.. In a contest with myself to not cheat. Gotta say I feel good, I've lost 20 pounds, and haven't been too hungry. Lots of Water is keeping me honest. Whenever hunger kicks in, I drink lots of water. Good luck, all! 3 lovealways, momlambert and Vicki Loichinger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
