Ahhhhh on this liquid diet!



Recommended Posts

I feel like I can't do this liquid diet. This chocolate shake is the worst. How will I make it five more days?!

Being at work and around all these people eating food is driving me crazy and I know this is just the beginning

I just focused on the fact that I wanted this surgery and this was the price of admission. It really helped. If it helps you get what you want it's not such a terrible sacrifice. I had to do it for ten days. It sucked mostly because I hated the shakes but found unjury.com and they weren't bad at all. Honestly, I know that "it's just the beginning thing" feels like it's all sacrifice forever now but that hasn't been the case for me. The liquid diet was tough and the first 5 days after surgery kind of sucked. I didn't have a lot of pain but I felt really yucky. Since then it hasn't been nearly as hard as I would have thought. When you aren't hungry you seriously don't want this stuff like you did before. It's so much easier than I thought it would be. Hang in there!

It's really a mental thing. Focusing on the prize is what gets me through! Feel free to come on here and complain and whine in the meanwhile. God knows I sure did lol. Good luck! It is really, really worth it! I'm only 3 weeks out and I haven't regretted this for a second yet.

I was scared of what the consequences might be if I didn't stick to the rules. Some surgeons will open you, then close you right back up if your liver is enlarged. Shrinking the liver is imperative to having a surgery with as few complications as possible. You're gonna make it, and these last five days are going to go by so fast it will be a shock when you suddenly find yourself at the hospital preparing for surgery.

Thanks guys. I'm trying hard to stay focused and i made it through day two! I have five days left and I know I can do this. I really do appreciate the encouragement. Not sure I could have made it through today without it. I'm sure I will have lots more whining and complaining lol;)

      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.
