liquid phase is depressing



Recommended Posts

im 1 week post op and on day 22 of my liquid phase. I dont have many words other that I cant handle the Protein Shake flavor. I have been living off of plain Water for three days. Every step I take i feel like I am going to faint. My surgeons advice was:"be tough, it will get better"

I feel just like in a regular diet type of agony only that my body cant take binging anymore.

Im hurting so bad emotionally.

I dont think I can take another OliveGarden commercial.

2 more weeks before yogurt....

MMMM MMMmm having an shake right now. Yeah they're a bit tiresome at best. if hating a dirt flavoured milk shake is as hard as it gets I can put up with that for a couple more weeks.

Cheer up! It will pass. I just started my 3rd week out. The past 2 weeks I went to bed as early as I could so I'd reach the new day faster. Sounds silly but it really helped. It gets better every single day. Courage!!

The Olive Garden food has never looked so good. We will be on to the next phase soon.

Hang in there. I felt like I didn't take in any nutrition for the first six weeks. Couldn't stomach Protein Shakes, yogurt was gross, eggs were too. I lived off of Water, and it had to be ice cold or it bothered my stomach. I became obsessed with lemon and just sucked the juice out if it. At 6 weeks follow up , I was given the go ahead to introduce solid Protein and I was in heaven. As long as you are getting enough water, you will survive. I hated life, was tired all the time, but I made it!

      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.
