Banded On 1/31 ... 2 Weeks Liquids



Recommended Posts

I start my two weeks of liquids tomorrow and I am already nervous as hell. Scheduled to be banded on 1/31. Anyone else survive this long on liquids without getting homicidal?

Same here. Will be banded on the 30th. I was supposed to go on the 3rd, but had to resched. I did the 2 back in December and I didn't want to kill anyone. I actually enjoyed it. I felt great. I use Jay Robb's chocolate egg white Protein Shake. I have two a day. I use Coconut Dream for my milk replacement and put 1/2 banana, 1/4 cup of blueberries and either 1/4 apple or 1/4 cup of raspberries in each shake. I use one scoop of Metagenics powder - Phytoganix (Organic Superfruits & Greens) as a fruit and veggie supplement, I take avitamin D3, Iron, Vitamin A supplement and a pro-biotic each day. I eat one meal a day which consists of 3-6 oz of Protein, a mixed green salad and 2 tsp of olive oil and of course 8 glasses of Water. That is my regime. I stay around 1000 cal. I also have 1 cup of coffee a day with 1/4 cup of organic skim milk. I am 5'5 211. Don't have a lot to lose. I've gained and lost 35-50lbs so many times. I'm exhausted.

YogaChick If my liquid diet was like yours I'm sure I would be fine as well. I am actually only allowed 3 shakes per day made with Water and unlimited non caloric liquids. No berries, bananas, yogurt and certainly no meals.

I,too, am being banded on 1/31. The shakes are a big adjustment but worth the effort. Don't give up! The rewards will be too numerous to count! 

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
