Started liquid diet on the 31st



Recommended Posts

I am 4 days into this liquid diet and this is hard. I have a serious headache and would normally reach for some IBuprofen but cant...... OMG I have 10 more days feel like i'm going insane. My mother in law brought over those big muffin that you find at sam's I am soooooooooo tempted to eat one she does'nt know I am having surgery. Those of you who walk this walk and made it to the other side my hats off to you.............Any advice would be awesome.

One minute at a time! Go away from the kitchen. I basically lived on the bottom floor with the kitchen above. I had my husband here and my mom sending over food to feed the kids. There was no way, I could have done it otherwise. Even mindless hand to mouth would have gotten me.

You can do it!

This is what I had to deal with tonight. My mom chomping away at a whopper with cheese as I ate Greek yogurt. It wasn’t that I wanted her sandwich my surgery is Tuesday I’m past the hungry hungry hippo stage. I’m at the I’ll vomit on your food stage cause it stinks. Made for an interesting ride home with the windows cranked open at 35 degrees out.

I hear you! Day 12 here. I started the liquid 4 weeks in advance because I have a higher BMI and I was afraid to not lose my Pre-op weight on time. Anyway, I’ve gotten so tired of eating veggies and I all but had an emotional breakdown two days ago when I couldn’t eat with my family. Smells still make me want food, but I hear there is a time when you get past the wanting food. Eating is such a hard habit to break. Stay strong! I’m right here with you!

I think having a pre op diet will help you in the long run. My doctor doesn't do a pre op diet and now this post op diet is killing me. Everything smells so delicious! There's so many food commercials on TV, in magazines, on billboards...

You can do it! Stay strong.

      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.
