Day 1 of liquid diet starts tomorrow. Surgery 7/25



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I'm eating literally everything in my house the past few days so I'm not tempted when I start my 2 week liquids. Probably not the best idea, I know. Come tomorrow, it will be Protein Shakes and broth. Yum. Any one else with July surgery coming up? I'd love to chat on kik!

I start my liquid diet tomorrow also! Surgery date is 7/18! I'm a little emotional to say the least. I am going to miss food.

I'm 6 1/2 months out- down 55 lbs. I still eat everything, just in much smaller portions. So don't eat everything that isn't nailed down ladies! Breathe! Life is great on the other side. Good luck!

I started my liquid diet 11 years ago to date. Within the year of 2005/2006 I weighed 289 lbs on Morning of surgery. At the 1. 1/2 yr mark after surgery I had lost 135 pounds. I am in my 11th yr and gained back 25 in 11 years. I am actually starting the liquid diet for three days then moving to Soup with possibly carrots and fat free Jello and pudding. Those 25 pounds MUST go.

Ladies and gents I wish you the very best on your weight loss surgery. Feel free to email me at rosemary.landry@yahoo.com. I promise to listen and try to answer any questions. You are all in my prayers as God is taking us on a new journey in life. Good Luck. Rosie. Belle of the South

I'm post-op but my best piece of advice is to keep busy. Idle mind and hands seek Snacks. Best of luck!!

I had my surgery 6/21/17. During my pre-op diet I had one Protein Shake in the morning with my Vitamins one Protein shake for lunch and a lean dinner. Also, keep your mind busy and keep productive, you should be fine. I'm now finishing my phase one and tomorrow going to a nutrition class and transitioning to phase two. I'm excited to finally have some kind of soft foods. Anyhow, I wish you the best of luck on your new journey, and New Life.

Wait... 11 years.. that would make you the longest person since sleeve surgery that I know.... pretty impressive. has anything changed over the years (other than putting back on a little) .. or is it much the same ?

      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.
