THE LIQUID DIET COMPLAINING/SUPPORT LOUNGE



Recommended Posts

I'm 9 days into my 2week liquid diet. I've found that I prefer the taste and texture of Jay Robb protein(I found it at whole foods, but you can order it online too). I like to mix PB2 with the chocolate and I like to mix in sugar free pudding flavors like banana(with the chocolate) or pistaschio(with the vanilla)! I also add extract flavors for a few different tastes, like Almond Joy and Root Beer float(without adding any soda)! I do tolerate the unjury unflavored with broth.

So ready to have my surgury so I don't feel hungry all day every day! Haha, I know a lot of it is in my head, but if I don't keep myself busy I go crazy!

I just want a burger. That's it. Then I can die happy. The urge to hit a drive thru on the way home was absolutely crazy but I did. Doesn't feel like a victory though.

It's day four, and I don't feel terrible. Just somewhat fuzzy-brained & fatigued with a minor headache and still feeling hungry every night at bedtime (takes a bit longer to fall asleep).

I'm on day 13 (surgery is Monday yay!) and it does get much easier. The first few days were a little tough mentally, but I knew I had enough fat around my body to keep me going. I did tone down the exercise a bit and drank alot of fluids, but my appetite actually adjusted and now I quite like the feeling. It's almost like a cleanse.

Also, losing 12-13 lbs in two weeks helped more than a bit with morale. :)

Hang in there everyone!

I'm on day two. I am on a strict menu. It's six Opti-Fast shakes and one Protein bar a day. Soup, Jello, nothing else is an option. Except I'm allowed to have sugar-free, caffeine-free, calorie-free liquids (which also means taste-free). I have a slight headache, but my energy level is okay. I made pizza and tacos for the kids today. Everything looks twice as delicious as usual, so I've been doing the Jedi Mind Trick on myself.

"These are not the meals you are looking for--move along. Drink a shake."

And it's been working. :rolleyes:

I'm on day 6 of 7 for my pre-op diet. It hasn't been easy...but as this is more restrictive than the post-op diet, I know if I can stick to this, I'll be fine after surgery :). I've got my mind set on my goal, and I've stuck to the pre-op diet 100%!! I went to the movies with my daughter today and didn't sneak even one kernel of popcorn! I usually have four Protein Drinks per day, alternating sweet shakes with the Unjury chicken Soup. I also treat myself to a sugar free Jello and sugar free Popsicle in the evening. It's tough, but, it's been better than I thought it would be. Drinking lots of Water, Decaf tea, and chewing sugar free gum have helped me a lot!. I just keep reminding myself that this part is temporary, and all a part of my new life! I've lost 10.2 lbs on the pre-op so far and that has really helped motivate me to keep strong! :) My surgery is less than 48 hours away, and I can't wait!!'

This diet is killing me. I have the headache, and the grumps, and the tiredness, and I would seriously consider smacking my own mama with a brick for a cheeseburger. I've lost 15 pounds so far, so at least there's that. My surgery is Tuesday, and I am so ready to be over this pre-op stuff.

I slipped up today and just started nibbling. This was though after I had to go to urgent care for a Migraine. It was so easy to keep going and I didn't even enjoy the food. I got serious issues.

One week to go! I am proud of myself (and all of you) for getting this far. It's not my favorite diet, but it will be over soon.

I had a hard time finding a Protein Shake I liked. I did strawberry with vanilla soy milk. That tasted good for a while then it started to make me gag. I bought some unflavored Protein Powder to add to Soups, but it makes it clumpy. I do like adding it to pudding. ????

I'm on day two of my pre-op diet and it suckkks! I'm actually not all that bothered by hunger or not eating regular foods, I just hate the Protein Shakes that my doctor uses (Bariatric Advantage). They are so sickly sweet and taste like artificial sweetener. I'm jealous of everyone who gets to choose their powder! I actually bought some low sodium vegetable broth because I can't hack six meals of sweetness a day. Hopefully that's not a terrible diet deviation (it has basically nothing in it!)

Am on my second month of "pre-op" diet and no date set yet. I still have a mandatory 4# left to lose. Had to cut out all bars and my once daily Protein food for more nasty shakes. Getting discouraged a bit. Have to make weight by Monday so he will schedule me. God give me strength.

      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.
