The Daniel Fast for lapbanders



Recommended Posts

My church is embarking upon a 21 day fast called "The Daniel Fast". It's mainly fruits and veggies.

If you are familiar with it, please share suggestions for meals and products that I should purchase. I'm mainly concerned with getting enough Protein.< /p>

I NEVER plain drink water--It's always Chrystal Light. I don't think that we can't have sugar or sugar substitute--so PLAIN Water might be the death of me!!!!!

All suggestions are welcomed

100% fruit juices have a lot of calories and sugar in them. Yes, it's natural sugar ( for most of them) but still sugar.

some add corn Syrup, so read the labels.

Check out the "light" fruit juices, they are lower in calories.

You'll get Protein from any meat but you could add Isopure CLEAR Protein Drink. It comes in different flavors and has no sugars or carbs. You can buy them at a GNC (General nutrition store) or a Vitamin Shoppe.

I like the Special K Protein Water, they're flavored and I like the Propel flavored waters.

I think I may have found a way to not die of lack of crystal light. There is a product called Stevia. It's sold in liquid and powder form--have you heard of it?

If you just need some flavor in your Water than put a little bit of 100% fruit juice in it to give yourself a hint of flavor.

From what I have heard Stevia is a good product to use. It made from a herb so it is natural. It supposedly has a sweet licoricey flavor. I actually plan on buying some this weekend since I have recently gotten myself off of the sugar. Honestly though you really should give up the crystal light for good because aspartame is a really crappy chemical to put in your body.

      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.
