Liquid Diet and Feeling Fuzzy...



Recommended Posts

I'm three days into the liquid diet and I'm feeling fuzzy headed and kind of weak. I've said the wrong word in conversation more than once, I've dropped stuff .. is this normal? Doctor's diet is a no carb-protein powder mixed with milk and broth, along with the usual set of sugar-free/caffeine-free drinks. I'm lucky to only have one week with this!

It's pretty normal for your body to feel weird when you shock it with such a drastic change. I am DREADING pre-op diet but I also know that if I can get through that I'm in the clear. I've seen lots of people post-op say the same thing. Do you have any blood sugar issues? If it's unbearable you need to call your doctor, but any time I have done slim fast or medifast I have felt pretty creepy for about 3 days and then been good to go after that.

Totally felt that way anytime I did shakes that were low carb and when I did media fast they told me because it's low xsl, low carb, low sodium maybe my blood pressure was to low. They had me eat a few pickles?

I never got that feeling, but speaking of fuzzy, I noticed when I do a liquid diet my teeth get extra fuzzy feeling.

This is the part I am not looking forward to. I have to do a 4 week liquid diet prior to surgery.

Still giggling at the fuzzy teeth @@Busymomof3! Today was better for me, less spacey. I've upped my "broth" consumption, the salt is soooo good. I"m already sick of the sweet shakes. Anybody have good luck with the chicken broth Protein stuff?

      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.
