Liquid diet struggles



Recommended Posts

Oh boy this liquid diet has been a big struggle for me. I was given the sandwich diet which is a combo of two weeks on liquid and two weeks on low carb. I decided I would try the liquid diet just to see how I would do. I still have a month to go before I can qualify for surgery. Being hungry drives me so crazy!! Do you know how many day one's I've had on this liquid diet? I couldn't get through a whole day without having a little something solid to chew.

I am glad to say I may have found my rhythm! I am not getting starvation hungry like I was before, either that or my body is adjusting. I've finally got past day two with nothing solid in my mouth! I pray that I get through the rest of this 2 weeks without going crazy,

I've never heard of this diet plan. Is it still working out for you okay? Seems like every surgeon has their own slant on how thing should be done. Where is yours located? And when is your surgery date?[emoji39]

Its something my surgeon recommended and it seems to be working. I have had weight loss but not as fast as I thought it was going to be on this liquid diet. My surgeon is located in Washington state. I have a target date of May 23rd but its not confirmed as my surgery date just yet. How about you?

      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.
