Liquid diet.



Recommended Posts

K, so my dr told me that to jump start my weightless I can do a liquid diet, Protein Shakes 3-4 times a days my band is slowly getting refilled, I am hoping to lose 24lbs in 2 weeks. I know it isn't a great way of doing it but it's weight I have gained since problem with the band. I know that it should be a slower process but I don't wanna buy more clothes. So, with that said what shakes do you recommend that work and are reasonably priced. I don't have a lot of extra money at the moment. So cheap is desired . Thanks

I'm sorry, but 24 pounds in 2 weeks is totally unrealistic.

The average weight loss with the band is 1-2 pounds per week not per day.

If I were you, I'd pick a much more attainable and realistic goal so you're not setting yourself up for failure.

liquid diet loss is mainly Water weight

once you stop and eat food again, dont be surprise if you gain

the best way to lose weight is eat your allotted amounts, lean Protein, veggies, fruit and exercise...and let the band work...

Right now I am on liquids until tomorrow because of a fill on Friday. I have lost about 5 pounds since but I know some will come back on. You can't starve yourself, either, it's very unhealthy. Talk to your dietitian or doctor. They know best.

      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.
