Six week liquid diet!



Recommended Posts

So i am alittle over 4 weeks into my 6 week liquid diet! Im going crazy. I just want to eat, i feel as though im going crazy. Im so ready to say screw this surgery and throw away it all. For food? Yup for food! I feel like im at the end of my rope. I get hungry, easy irritated, on top of working school and a full time single mom. I just need someone who understands.

Buy some Jello cups and freeze tjem. Using your imagination, you can believe they are any solid food. I I'm magi ed mine was a pork chop. Also I ate grits cooked with boullion. That savory flavor really helped.

First off I want to say what an incredible job you've done so far. That's a long time! I had to do it for 3 weeks and it was probably the hardest thing I've ever done physically speaking. You're almost there, and it will be worth it at the end. I know you know this deep down. :) Popsicles out of the liquids you are using (I made popsicles out of my Protein shakes to get that bite and chew feeling, jell-o, warm broth. I'm sure you already know all this though. Hang in there since you're so close now, and hug yourself for doing such an amazing job already. Most of us only have to do it for 2 weeks. I'm seriously impressed here.

You're amazing! Tomorrow will be 4 weeks on liquids only for me as well, but I had my RNY two weeks ago. I found trying new Protein shakes and combining different broth helps.

      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.
