Day 3 Liquids...may eat my arm



Recommended Posts

What is PB2?

It's actually powdered Peanut Butter with much less fat and calories (85% less I think). You can reconstitute it into Peanut Butter by adding Water or add it to shakes, etc. It also comes in a peanut butter chocolate flavor. Found it in the peanut butter aisle or it's also available on Amazon.< /p>

I start liquids tmw but I started trying the shakes about 3 wks ago. I really like dymatize elite Protein Powder. I really don't get hungry for a couple of hrs after I drink it. And no aftertaste. Believe me I can be a bit of a baby and a picky eater lol so if I like it, it is worth a try

I'm here to tell you that I felt the same, and aside from some teeth marks (that faded in a day or two), I managed to not succumb. It will get better!

Think of the future and not the present. And sleep as much as possible. :)

PB2, Peanut Butter powder, added to Unjury chocolate Splendor Protein Powder with skim milk is terrific. It is also very filling.

Oh my goodness... I am on day 3 and feel like I could eat my own arm off. I know I will get through this' date=' but I want to eat so bad right now. I don't know how I am going to do this for 3-6 weeks.[/quote']

How are you today?

I know you can do this!

You are going to have a second chance at a healthier and happier life. Remember that in the tough moments.

I didn't have to do as long as you, but what kept me going was that finally at the end of this liquid diet I was going to get REAL help.

I truly feel blessed that I was given this chance.

Not everyone will get this wonderful opportunity that we have. So I guess what I'm saying is trust me... The suffering IS worth it this time

I am on day three, today. Not having food isnt bothering me nearly as much as my stomach screaming, the heartburn, and constant trips to the potty. Ready for tomorrow to be overwith.

I might have to try that. Where did you get it?

I got the sf Torani from cost plus world market. They've most of the flavors in regular and sugar free. I've also bought off the Torani website too.

They are great to have to change up flavors when I want!

For the record, today I feel like I have the most energy I've had in years. I'm on day 3 of all liquid Protein pre op, and day 5 for no caffeine. scale says lost 10 so far. I want to believe it so badly, but trying to forget about that part.

I'm also just finishing my first shake of the day..I've been busy but up and awake for 4 hours now.

Laura,

Thanks so much for the encouragement. I am doing ok today. Have a little bit of a headache, but good. I keep reminding myself that this is all for a good reason.

It does get easier, and you will get through it!

Are you pre-op or post op?

This might help, it's our first episode and we talk about the liquids phase:

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
