liquid diet



Recommended Posts

Okay so I have had my lap band 20 months. I got down to 168 but had some health problems and put on weight most of it was Water weight but I had to get my band unfilled so some of it wasn't. I am wanting to get back on track and get back down to where I was because after putting the weight back on I finally figured out what I wanted my goal weight to be.

I would like to start by doing a liquid diet but I cannot remember the diet I was on before my surgery. I lost 18 pounds in 2 weeks and would like to try to do that again. If anyone can give me suggestions on what your liquid diet was it would be greatly appreciated=)

Thanks!

I know you're looking for positive feedback but I gotta say, why go on a deprivation diet like all liquids. We all got the band so we wouldn't have to feel the pain of dieting for so long?

If you're at a stall/plateau I can understand it. But, the super weight loss we all realize when we first got banded or when we went on a new diet before the band is mostly just Water weight. See the link below?

One of the things a lot of people do to restart their journey is the 5-Day pouch test. www.5daypouchtest.com I guess you could extend a program like this out to 2 weeks?

Another is the 5:2 diet. I've ran a modified version of this diet and made it into a 4:3 diet to overcome stalls. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9Aj6hRYg4A

And finally, shake, shake, shake every day for 2 weeks because you need Protein or your body turns on it's own muscle for fuel.

Thanks for the feed back! I should have noted that I put on 51 pounds in 12 days of which is mostly Water weight this was about a week and half ago maybe 2. I have lost about 10 pounds and I am also on meds to help the water weight come off but I figure the liquid diet would also help speed the process up.

Just be sure to get in enough Protein so that the weight that comes off is Water and fat. I'd recommend no sugar and no carbs for your liquid diet. Take multi-Vitamins every day.

I'm no expert on liquid diets. I've only been on one for 4 days and only once so I can't imagine 2 weeks(some here have gone 6 weeks :(). Good luck!

      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. 🤞
