Two week liquid diet

[hazelzay 75]

I am using the Bariatric Advantage shakes. They are fine. I was surprised actually I was planning on them being really awful.

I would say that the tablet chew-able Vitamins from this brand are awful, horrible -- chalky and terrible flavor.

God bless you I thought my strawberry one was awful in the big bag but I just purchased the chocolate one from my doctor in the canister yesterday and it taste like hot cocoa so that one makes it better and I'm on day 7

Darn, I was debating getting those chewable vitamins. Do you have any other recommendations?

I also purchased the Bari melts, so I am going to try those tonight and will report back. I am upset that I have a huge jar of the Calcium awful ones to eat. I am going to also try the gummy/chew-able from that brand.

Finally, I have appts tomorrow and am bringing in some of my "normal" chew-able and liquid Vitamins to see if they are acceptable.

Shakes: They were nice enough to give me samples of many flavors. I didn't mind the strawberry, but the Cookies and cream I did not care for it or its smell; the iced latte was not great flavor; banana flavor was goood; orange creme was not horrible but not great. So far, the vanilla and chocolate are my favorites. Thinking of trying the unflavored one with a bit of matcha powder.

I have to do Fortify BariEssentials because my doctor requires it. It includes the Vitamins in the shake powder. I can't recommend them though. They have way too much artificial sweetener. I found out today I can have whey powder with 8oz. of low sodium twice a day rather than four shakes a day. All I can have is shakes, broth, sugar free Jello, and sugar free Popsicles. I can have anything to drink that is not carbonated or has sugar in it for the most part. I'll get through it. After all, I have a lot to lose.

That's all I can have as well...It's gonna an interesting couple weeks. My friends at work ask if I was gonna take off for the 10 day liquid diet, apparently I'm not very nice when I'm hungry.

Ugh. Not enjoying. Had a nutritionist session yesterday and she said the 2nd week was most critical and she knows people will cheat a little but not to cheat on second week.

It is a struggle and I will admit here to cheating day 3 w/ half of a whole wheat bagel

But, she said as many popsicles as desired (sugar free) so that was a nice add on from the diet sheet they originally gave me.

Thanks for posting that. I'm on day 8 and we were thinking of taking the kids there this weekend. Perhaps we should go to the lake instead.

I'm only on day one . Did anyone have headaches or feel more tired at nighttime ( earlier than they usually would at night . I feel like this two week diet is going to be so hard .

I felt like i was homicidal day 2-3... but too tired to do anything... having weird dreams or an epiphany, then by day 6 it was the calm after the storm... I survived 2 bday parties, 1 baby shower and a wedding reception during that 2 wk span... after I woke from surgery i ask M.D. "did my liver shrink?" He said said No, not significantly...
