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:

      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.
