Starting liquid diet tomorrow, any tips?



Recommended Posts

Good luck!

My advice:

Focus on what you CAN have, not what you can't.

Stay hydrated and have something to drink with you at all times.

Stay busy.

Remind yourself that you can do anything for two weeks and that it will be over soon.

Remember why you are doing it: to be healthy and have the best chance for a safe and successful surgery.

You can do it!

Avoid carbs like the plague. Is it strictly liquids? No fruits or veggies?

What kind of broth did you use?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Vietnamese Phô broth is what kept me going. It filled me up, tasted great, and contains some Protein in it (3g per cup according to MFP). I'm 4 days out, and it's been hard getting cold liquids down, and the warm phô broth makes things so much nicer for me.

Are you having just the Pho broth or the fixings added in it, like the meat and noodles and veggies?

Just the broth. That in itself was much more satisfying than canned chicken broth. [emoji37]

True dat! I'm glad you mentioned it. I love Pho. Even just the broth is a treat.

I hope things are going well you guys and good luck with the surgery. I'm scheduled for 4/14 so my liquid diet starts 4/4. I think I am more concerned about the liquid diet than I am the actual surgery just because I turn into the spawn of Satan when I haven't eaten and get hungry. (I'm not proud of that.)

I will definitely try Pho broth though! Thanks you guys and good luck!

My surgeon requires 3 weeks of Protein Shakes and crystal light. Supposed to get 80-120 grams of Protein per day. They say no to everything else. Just left the office from my first weigh in pre surgery. Finished my first week of no food, two more to go... this is tough! I definitely agree, more stressed about the pre surgery diet than the surgery its self. After surgery our stomachs will be smaller and we will not be so HUNGRY.

        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.

      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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
