Pre-Op Liquid Diet Struggle Bus

[lindseypb 9]

Hey I’m New to the weight loss world. I’m on day 3 of the full liquid diet and I’m over the Protein Shakes. Any ideas to help? Have surgery next week. It’s really the afternoons that are my worst time. Hard to get enough liquid and shakes throughout the day, end up feeling gross. Any thoughts?

Take it a day at a time. Struggle through. Know you're not alone.

Honestly, there is no good answer. You just have to do what you just have to do. There will be a lot of that post-op as well.

Hang in there!

Drink lots of water! I use Premier Protein or Atkins and have added pb fit to them. Down 12#'s in 8 days on liquid pre-op diet. You got this!

Not that I’m happy about others problems, but it’s good to know I’m not the only one with the problem like lindseypb. That’s when I have the most trouble too. Starting in late afternoon and by 8 or 9, I’m in bed sick as a dog. Don’t want to throw up for fear of dehydration. So go to bed and lie on my stomach. But yes, as one said, we aren’t alone and just have to get through it one day at a time. By Christmas, we can get some oh so cute clothes! I love winter clothes best. So many accessories to use. But at this time, I look like one of those giant men in Game of Thrones! [emoji52]

My dietitian opened up for me to have Soup as long as it was liquid so I have been able to deal. She said I was basically detoxing from carbs and to much Protein. Surgery in 2 days and I’m so ready but so nervous. Thank you everyone for the support!

I’m on the same bus [emoji590]Day 1 of 12 for the liquid diet and it was rough. Assume will get more challenging but praying I can make it without a slip up. I’ve waited so many years for this time to come.

Today was supposed to be day one of the pre-op diet for me, but I failed miserably. So I have an action plan in place. Conveniently I have one day off in the next two weeks, so being at work is going to distract me, as today I was home alone. But I know Tomorrow when I am back in the office I’ll be fine because I get so busy. So know that you are not alone. Your so blessed it’s a few days, this 3 week haul seems like it’s going take forever! But I have to remember what’s at the finish line. Best wishes.
