Started Liquid Diet Today - Observations



Recommended Posts

So I began my 2-week liquid diet today (RNYGB is scheduled for 8/8). I'm noticing a few things right off the bat - warning - this may be TMI: I've been peeing like CRAZY, and when I feel the urge, it is all of a sudden and incredibly urgent. I felt a bit deprived today as I'm taking in 900-1000 calories per day (I pray this improves), BUT the good news is that my nutritionist provided me with dietary guidelines that allow for solid food consumption in addition to the Protein Drinks I'm taking in.

Question: has anyone experienced this pee pee phenomenon? Why does it occur?

Thanks for the support, as always!

Could just be the massive intake of fluids. I have not had the surgery yet but for previous procedures I've had that required a liquid diet just for the day before, I found myself having that issue. Hopefully today or the next will not be like this for you because your body will have adjusted to new Fluid levels...maybe??? Let us know how it plays out because I'm sure more of us will experience this and will have the same question.

Hello everyone! My surgery is also 8/8! I am having a lap-band conversion to GB. When I did this diet for my lap-band I also peed A LOT but it ended up being because of all the "sugar-free" stuff I was eating/drinking. It apparently irritated my bladder so that was bad news. Try to drink more Water (sounds counter intuitive but) it will help your bladder not be overwhelmed by the sugery free stuff. Excited to start my journey for good this time! Good luck!

I've been on mine as well. I'm visibly taking in more liquids than I used to. I have the sudden urge to pee as well but I feel it's because I'm intaking more liquid than food to maintain satiety so I chug some and then it all gets to my bladder at once. Plus, I imagine we are flushing some toxins out of our bodies that we didnt know we had. Purging bad stuff will make you pee as well. Kind of like when you're sick.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
