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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
