Medi-fast: Do it or Diet



Recommended Posts

I really hate it when I have to think about what I'm going to eat all the time. I like to just know something is there so I can reach in my cabinet or drawer and pull out Snacks when I get hungry between meals. So... i did some research on Medi-fast. I guess it's being done differently than it used to (all liquids) or maybe I just didn't really understand how the system worked.

I liked the idea of it, looked around and realized they had some better options and lots of variety. I get sick and tired of the same thing day in / day out - unless it's scrambled eggs. :P

It's kinda costly, but I know that I need some kind of plan that works well with a sleeve (tiny portions and high Protein and lots of veggies) and have a large variety of low calorie snacks. It's simple enough and I know I can follow it. I bought 2 months worth of food! Well really one and got about another whole months worth of free food due to some start up initiation sign up deal thingie. I'm excited, I get my shipment on Friday per the UPS tracker.

Ok.. didn't someone tell me that once I had WLS I'd never have to "diet" again? JK (before someone replies and knocks the breath outta me...) B)

Anyhow, the jist of this thread is to see if anyone else has either thought of it or has been doing it? I'm needing some support over here. And, I need to give support too, because it's in my DNA.

I am not sure I want to ever have to do this kind of program again. I get tired of the same old same old and want it now, not later....LOL Can I ask you how much you are able to eat of it. I can certainly eat a lot more after 2 years out and I know a lot of it is head hunger.... :P

Actually I havent gained more stomach room since about 6 months out. I can only eat about 3 oz of Protein and a few bites of veggies and a few bites of carbs. I haven't got my package yet so I'm not sure how full I will get on the diet food. It's only 2 months so I'm not really too stressed. After the 2 months I'm going to start logging again on the WW Online.

I'm so glad to hear this. I can eat a Quest Protein bar and it pretty much fills me up. Let me know how you meals taste. I've been doing the 5:2 diet in addition to your Basic Bootcamp diet and I've been losing a bit every day. :P

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
