Question about 2 week liquid diet



Recommended Posts

Hi, I am on a 2 week liquid diet and my surgery is on Monday. Anyway, not to get too personal but I'm just at the end of my time of the month....Also, my liquid diet is only whey Protein (1-2shakes a day for 170 calories each) sf pudding, sf Jello, light Soup broth, light creamy soup broth strained etc. I just go on the scale and I'm only down 1 pound and I'm freakiing out....I was hoping for atleast 8lbs. does anyone have any insight?? Oh and I have not cheated at all. my caloric intake daily is 750. This lack of losing is making me scared that maybe my body just holds onto my fat and I won't lose with the sleeve.....HELP

It's probably due to TOM. I'm guessing the scale will go down after it's over.

^^ She said it's almost over so, she'll probably get a swoosh on the scale after that.

Oh.. Duh. I totally missed that! I just started mine and I have lost 9 lbs hope its more like 14 since I usually retain 5 lbs of Water although I do not feel the least bit bloated on this pre op diet. I am ravished though. :/

:) Losing 9 lbs during your cycle is GREAT!

You'll be fine - your body is going thru a lot...your time of the month and drastically cutting down on calories.

Make sure you're drinking plenty of Water and following your plan. You're going to do great. Don't panic - that could lead to bad decisions or going off plan.

You're body is going to lose at it's own pace - you can only control what you put in your mouth.

      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.
