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! 

      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!

      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!!
