I am three years and eleven months post op. I have gained sixty pounds from medicine from mood stabilizers and anti depressants. Looking to do OMAD for twenty one days to get back down to my ideal weight. Will it harm my tool or what are your thoughts of OMAD?

Hi: Aren't those meds fabulous. Seriously, I have taken them for years. I developed Bipolar Disorder following the birth of my daughter. It took the doctors 7years to get my meds right. They have caused all sorts of weight problems but I keep taking them because I know that it can be very difficult to get back on them once a period of time has passed since the last dose. You might try going back to the dr who prescribed them and see if they can be tweaked.

How did OMAD, or any other off-normal or crash diets, work for you pre-op? Did you lose? Did you maintain once you did?

Return to your plan. Your normal, everyday, sustainable plan.

Allow your plan, which is no doubt much healthier, do it's work. It may take longer, but it is sustainable and maintainable, and you will again re-establish good, healthy habits. Habits and health to take you through all your other challenges for the rest of your life.

Good luck,

Tek

      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.
