Plateaued. Want to start the liquid diet AGAIN



Recommended Posts

Its been 10 months since my surgery and I have only lost 33 pounds in that time. I just got a fill this morning and am at 7.8 in a 9 cc band. YIKES!!! I asked the doctor if she thought doing the pre-operative liquid diet again would give me a head start and she said, Yes. So, I would like to know if anyone out there is stuck like me and would like to do this with me? today is my Day 1 but I will be there to support you too. Let me know. I am hoping to be at least 10 pounds dropped after the 2 weeks. :smile:

That is fantastic that you Dr gave you the heads up. You should do liquid for a while after a fill anyway. Wow, you had another fill. I think I am at my max, lot less than you have. Do you have problem with sliming or PB. I never thought I would have a problem, but I had to go on a liquid after my last "sliming" incident. After all this time, I still mess up. Mindless, emotion eating.

Good Luck on your "jump start". Sometimes it is just enough to get our bodies going again.

Take care :smile2:

It is so good to be back with my fellow samuris. I plateued for htalst 3 months. But instead of doing liquids i have been doing strict low carb for the last 2 weeks. I have lost 2.3 pounds which isn't much but when you have been stuck for 3 months any loss is welcomed. Good luck with the liquids.

      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.
