Spring Cleanse/Juice Fast?



Recommended Posts

Hi there, I used to do fasting from time to time -- as a liver cleanse but of course I was always hoping to lose weight (was a professional dieter but no more!). Since being banded I haven't done anything like that but as spring arrives I'm thinking I could benefit from some cleansing. It was a long winter. And I'd like to notch myself down into the next drop in weight -- maybe a fast woukd trigger that. Any banders out there who have done this? I used to kick off with the whole Epsom then grapefruit olive oil thing then go into juices. I would not be hungry now so that's not a worry. I'm thinking it could reboot my system a bit -- sort of like the five-day pouch test. Thoughts?

The health club / gym I go to is selling a "Cleanse" kit.....I noticed it this morning. Although a little pricy... it still got me thinking...

I may ask for more info when I'm there tomorrow.

      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.
