Six week liquid diet!



Recommended Posts

So i am alittle over 4 weeks into my 6 week liquid diet! Im going crazy. I just want to eat, i feel as though im going crazy. Im so ready to say screw this surgery and throw away it all. For food? Yup for food! I feel like im at the end of my rope. I get hungry, easy irritated, on top of working school and a full time single mom. I just need someone who understands.

First off I want to say what an incredible job you've done so far. That's a long time! I had to do it for 3 weeks and it was probably the hardest thing I've ever done physically speaking. You're almost there, and it will be worth it at the end. I know you know this deep down. :) Popsicles out of the liquids you are using (I made popsicles out of my Protein shakes to get that bite and chew feeling, jell-o, warm broth. I'm sure you already know all this though. Hang in there since you're so close now, and hug yourself for doing such an amazing job already. Most of us only have to do it for 2 weeks. I'm seriously impressed here.

You're amazing! Tomorrow will be 4 weeks on liquids only for me as well, but I had my RNY two weeks ago. I found trying new Protein shakes and combining different broth helps.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
