Two week liquid diet



Recommended Posts

Generally speaking, the pre-op diest is NOT about losing weight...

It's about getting rid of the fat that has collected around your liver...

I'm sure someone else can expand on this (or correct me if I'm wrong)...

The surgeon needs to get in there and the fatty liver bits can screw things around...

Chances are, you're doing NOTHING wrong..

Just keep at it...

Don't let the perception of no loss get inside your head..

3-4 pre mixed Protein shakes (Premier Protein & Pure Protein) per day was my pre op diet. There was simply no way that I couldn't lose weight during this time. It was guaranteed.

Losing weight isn't a matter of opinion. It's a matter of fact, it's happening or it isn't. If the number on the scale is changing, there's your answer. What are you really asking or saying? Are you merely nervous about your new undertaking? If so, that's cool. Many people are. You'll be fine.

Thanks and I know its about reducing the fatty around my liver. But also it was suppose to make me lose weight as well. The dietitians stated that I should lose about 10 to 15 pounds doing the 2 week diet.

That's too much Protein for me!!! Only because men build more muscle mass then a woman. My protein intake is only 70 grams per day. I had forgotten about it and was drinking 90 only becus I switched to premiere protein. I think that was the cause of me not losing. So back to chocolate high protein slim fast Water and broth and bye bye premiere protein. Thanks for the advice though;-)

I will find out tomorrow or today if I lost when I get on the scale. But to me I think I didn't. If so the reason could have only been becus I was taking in too much Protein then the dietitian told me to take in. But I have one week left to get back on track. Trust me I will and thanks to you all for the support and encouragement.

I'd agree with Kristen, I don't think the extra Protein could be fouling you up. If you're doing full liquids with 3 Premier Protein shakes, that's a total of a mere 480 calories. Unless you have some other calorie source, I can't see how you couldn't be losing considering a Very Low Calorie Diet would be something like 800 calories.

I agree plus Slim Fast has too much sugar

I'm finding it that I don't think I'm losing weight with this liquid diet? What am I doing wrong or is it just me lol

I also use Premier and I was told to consume 100g of Protein a day. I honestly think every surgeon is different and goes by different things.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
