Liquid Diet to start in AM, b4 pic, I am so unhappy, I cant wait to get better.



Recommended Posts

I usually feel pretty until I see myself on a full pic, its like my face doesn't match my body, and now with all the co-morbidities it makes the feeling even worst. I am praying to feel good again, that I could be healthy again and be able to meet my grandkids one day. At only 42, my weight has been a roller coaster ride, I WANT OFF!

Starting 2 weeks liquid diet tomorrow. I am full of mix feelings. Sw was 225, today is 212 with a bmi of 35.3 but with few co-morbidities which makes me a candidate for a revision from lapband to sleeve on March 26 only if the Doctor does as agreed, and he is known to do whatever he wants, lol.

Thank you ladies for your kind words. Today is day 1 of my pre diet, minimal carbs,minimal sugar, Protein & Water, water, water.

Woke up at 5:30 am, showered, make up, dressed n out the door, dear boyfriend fixed my 12 oz skim milk, 1 cap of Miralax n 1 1/2 of Protein Shake, drank this on my 1 hour drive to work. * I can't stop thinking about food & to make it even more exciting TOM is on the way so I am thinking snickers on the back of head*

For lunch I will be eating 4 oz baked tilapia, for Snacks sugar free Jello n Isopure zero carb grape flavor. For dinner another skim milk protein shake.< /p>

I think, given what I see from your physique/shape, you should have EXCELLENT results. Likely not even a lot of extra skin! Have the surgery, then, when cleared, do some exercise. You really look shapely now; just expect even greater things going forward.

... sleeve on March 26

Good morning

Yesterday was tough, my boyfriend ate some crackers in front of me and I was mad, I wanted my broth w crackers :( but I have will power at least for a couple of days lol.

I know my surgeon isn't worry about me doing a strict diet as long as I dont gain more than 5% of my 225 original weight we are good to proceed w surgery but I still want 2 make things easier for him (& me) by shrinking my liver just a little.

Today's diet is: Breakfast 12 oz skim milk, 1 1/2 whey Protein Powder, & 1 cap of Miralax. Mid am : sugar free Jello, lunch: 5 oz grilled chicken breast, mid pm: Isopure no carb Protein Drink, & dinner: chicken broth w 2 eggs.

I feel tired n people tell me I look it 2. Its hard to concentrate, I feel lethargic.

      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.
