Preparing for the dreaded Liquid Diet

Entries in this blog

Ideas please!!

I am struggling! I heed to get back on track. I thought if I could do a liquid diet for so long I could for sure get back on track but I think it's harder:( I want to start immediately! Maybe an egg in the morning, need an idea for lunchs, and want to do a shake at supper because of work schedule. Some ideas please?

Remember Its An Addiction!

I have to say this is harder then what it seems. The addiction to food is so difficult to overcome. Easy to gain acess to and its Legal!!! The more I am trying to eat healthy the more I think how fast food joints need to have only healthy choices. I have made some bad choices the past week. Even if it was one or two bad choices, I felt guilt. I guess I must just keep truckn' and not give up.....fingers crossed!!

6 Ounces....really!!!!

I had my fill done and the nurse said to eat the 6 oz three times a day and advance my diet now. So I came home and measured out 6 ounces in little bowls. I guess I never realized how much 6 ounces was. The piece of meat was something my husband would take in one bite. I decided for my breakfast I would eat the egg because bagles are a little hard to swollow down(but a good source of protein). For lunch I would do the 4oz of meat and 2 oz of vegs. And for supper have the full 6 oz of meat becaus

First Fill

Today was my first fill. It wasnt bad at all. I had mixed feelings (mostly from the blogs I have read) would it hurt...would it be to tight...or get hungry between meals???? All questions I would ask myself. The nurse took it easy on me, 2cc in for now. I ate soft foods right after and had no problems but did not eat very much. I am happy with things today:) Weight loss was a plus to:)

Ready To Eat!!!

I am almost over this phase of my diet and in a couple days I will start my 3 meals a day. I go get my band filled Thursday and have to say I am pretty excited. I have been hungry all week and want to get past that. I have stabled out on my weight loss, kind of disappointing to get on the scale and see it has not moved. I just dont want to fail. I finished my first three days back at work. A stressful night ended it all. Glad to be off tomorrow and my focus is going to be to find meal ideas for

Day 3 Post Op......

I was sure I had made the biggest mistake ever the first few days. Now every hour is getting a little better. I made the mistake and compared this to a c-section....difference is there is no little baby to hold and cuddle and love. Instead I traded it for a pillow and lots of sleep. I always complain that I am the only one to do the laundry, clean house and other house hold chores; I have learned during this thats the way I like things to be. I feel so useless around the house and I am lucky to

Scrub Up...its About That Time!!!

The time is getting closer ever time I glance at the clock!! I can't believe 8 months ago I sat in a seminar thinking I would get this surgery done without a problem. 8 months later and 3rd letter from insurance I am finally at the OR's door steps (or close enough). I am going in for surgery on Tuesday April 24th (not to mention I am down 17 lbs). My big fears: gas pain...I told my doctor "as little gas as possible" lol another fear is praying my liver is small enough. After 10 days on a liquid

Lets Get This Party Started!!!

I am so ready to have this surgery, get past the liquid phase (again) and eat something else! I am pretty satisfied with the liquid diet, meaning it isn't as bad as I thought but I am just anxious I think to get moving with it all. I am down 14 lbs so far but is has slowed down a little, about a pound every 2-3 days now. Surgery is Tuesday and I can't wait!! I will be fine and I am putting it all in God's hands now:)

Liquid Diet Day 2

Day two of the Liguid diet and I have to admit I have already cheated. Garlic cloves are a weakness!! Had about 8 cloves and some onion slices. Candy is not my weakness, thank goodness but I have to be strong. I was a little weak yesterday but I had such a big day. To top it all off I had a "31 Party" (may I add I did awesome) then I had to go to work for a few hours. Today my stomach is hungry but I am fighting through it. I put rubberbands on my bottled water so I can keep track of how many bo

Liquid Diet....i Am Dreading You!!

I am 19 days out til surgery. A tad nervous but really am ready for a challange. I have my preop appt Friday and am super excited to get a few steps closer. I have done a liquid diet the past two days to lose 6 lbs I wanted to lose (to get to my seminar weight). I am dreading the liquid diet for 10 days but I have a great support system. Even some girls at work are going to do it with me, not sure they will last 10 days but its such a help that people are supportive . I think being part of a bl
