Ugh! 2week liquid diet! How did you do?



Recommended Posts

I'm on day 5 of a 2 week clear liquid diet, I'm allergic to aspartame so I have to make pop sickles with Splenda and kool-aid I cant do Jello due to also having allergies to high volumes of Gelatin, I fell off the wagon twice already within these past 5 days. I'm limited on the go to items that would normally make this diet tolerable, how did you guys do? Did it affect the outcome of your surgery?

Are you allowed Protein drinks? My pre-op diet included them. I used the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury products- 1 for Breakfast, the Soup for lunch, 1 for an afternoon snack and another for dinner. Other than being boring I wasn't starving with the high Protein intake. The premier Protein Drinks from costco are also really good. Below are the ingredients for the Unjury products. Are you allergic to any of them?

Ingredients: whey Protein Isolate, Fructose, Cocoa powder (Alkali Processed), Natural Flavors, Soy Lecithin, Xanthan Gum, Sea Salt, Acesulfame Potassium, Sucralose, Potassium Chloride.

I'm on day 8 now. The first few days were tough. Now it is just boring. I am getting a little sick of the Protein shakes, but I try to mix them up a little. I would like something to eat that is not sweet. Other than that, getting close to the prize. Hang in there. Time will go by and you'll be happy you did it.

No protein drinks allowed for me, I have slipped a couple of times but I did aim for low carb foods. I'm glad to be at a point where my stomach will not hold much. This will help. Lol

This is the hardest part of the whole process I think. I did a week of Clear Liquids plus 4 shakes a day and it got much easier as time went on. Day 2 fell on valentines day and I did have a couple Cookies lol. It didn't affect my surgery though... my doctor said my liver looked great. :)

Today was day 8 of my pre-op liquid diet and I had my pre-op testing today. Blood work, x-rays, EKG and urine. When they weighed me I lost 8 pounds. Six more days to go on this and then surgery. Our days will be here before you know it. We got this!

It is hard but so worth it, I've been overweight my entire 38 years on this earth and I can honestly say that I've never looked forward to being restricted on foods, come on sleeve day!!!! Lol. This indeed will get better.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
