Hey loves. I wanted to do a quick update. My doctor placed me on a 2 week liver shrinking diet and tomorrow is Day 1. I feel so blessed to have finally made it this far. 8 months of struggling with my weight going up and down but I did it. My boyfriend is actually done a 180 and is also doing the liquid diet with me. I wanted to thank you each for the comments on my last post and the advice you gave. It really meant alot and gave me the push I needed. We are stocked up on broth, Protein Shakes, Jello, and etc. Any advice for those that are going through the liquid diet?

Find recipes you enjoy eating. If the liquid diet is forcing yourself to chug down stuff you dont like, youre setting yourself up for failure.

You dont like one shake, try another. Then try mixing it with pudding, making icecream, fluff, mugcakes, artificial sweeteners, syrups, with coffee.

Theres literally thousands of ways to get creative. If youre not enjoying the things youre eating, its not gonna be pretty

The first 3 days of liquids were tough for me, just get through those sugar withdrawals and you’ll be fine! By day 4 I felt normal again. I lost 10lbs during those 2 weeks so that was a great incentive to keep chugging along! Good luck :-)

My doctor only required 3 days liquid diet. I did 4 days because I get tired of eating crap.
Today was my third day and am not having any problems. I stopped diet soda last year. I am not a candy eater. I just eat too much food.
Can't wait till Tuesday fools around.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
