Liquid diet well frankly...



Recommended Posts

It sucks! I'm so hungry and ill. I think my husband would stick me out on the lawn if he could. Lol. My doctors office has me on a max of 30 grams daily of Liquid Protein and I'm just starving!

I just needed to complain for a moment. Ugh... I only have 2 more days and then it's Surgery day!! Something to look forward to.

My pre-op diet was a couple of weeks of 3 Protein bars or shakes a day, and a cup of fresh or steamed veg, then a week of just the Protein Shakes. The first week was tough ... was so hungry I was about ready to chew off my own arm! I was worried about how hard the final week of just liquids would be but it was actually pretty easy. I think because I knew I was on the home straight, the time flew by!

Good luck with your surgery ... it'll all be worth it once you're on the other side of things. ;)

I'm doing better now. I mean it's still tough, but I think my body has decided we just don't eat anymore. LOL The only times I get really hungry is at night and I think that is because I used to be a really big night time eater.

TOMORROW is the big day and I'm super excited!

30 gms Protein per day? That sounds very low. Mine is 115 gm/day. I'm still hungry but probably not nearly as much as you are!

@@drmeow Yes, 30 grams of Protein a day. Crazy huh? lol. I was reading where everyone else can have multiple Protein shakes a day and I'm over here like.. must be nice! haha

But I'm doing okay, I have had my moments of weakness where I wanted a salad or something, but fought the temptation.

      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.
