Struggling with liquid diet



Recommended Posts

I'm on day 9 of the liquid diet and I'm hungry, exhausted, moody and I don't want to do anything. Also, tired of the same drinks. My husband is very supportive but he just doesn't understand how I'm feeling. Does that make sense?

Of course it makes sense. It sounds reasonable to me. I start next Wednesday and am already feeling a bit "off" from the way I am eating now (very little in preparation). It's frustrating, I'm hungry, I want something yummy.

I'm researching different types of drinks and can't figure out which one(s) to get. My Nut is supposed to call me before next Wednesday but I need to be ordering something soon so I called and left a message for her.

Headache also - hungry - sucks.

@@kashco it def makes sense. This is a drastic change to your intake. Just keep your eyes on the prize and you will make it. Add free foods if you are allowed by your NUT. Ask what you can have such as sf Jello or broth. Good luck!

Thanks for the feedback. I can have broth and sugar free Jello. The lack of carbs and no caffeine definitely produces a killer headache!

Just remember, the liquid diet is probably the hardest part of this whole process. If only I could transfer what it feels like to be on the other side to you, you'd look forward to everyone of those shakes! :-P

Hang in there, in 6 months, you are going to look back and see that it was so worth it!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
