Really Struggling With Meal Replacement Diet



Recommended Posts

Ok so i met with the nutrionist about 2 weeks ago and she told me to start a Meal Replacement diet. For the first week replace one meal a day with a Protein Shake, then on week 2 start with 2 meals a day ( im a big guy ). My probelm is for the last 2 weeks have i been completely faithful to it, no, but as everyone on here knows im sure you too have also not stuck to the diet 100% as it becomes almost a task after awhile. That being said, i think my biggest dilema is the actuall " not eating" part, ive never just drank my meal before to be honest i dont like it at all. I know i could also eat some things with the shake as it is only 30 grams per shake, but i dont know how much i should eat with it as well. I am going to try to get a hold of her sometime this week, but was just wondering if anyone had any pointers. FYI im just replacing my Breakfast and lunch, and this week im determined to really stick to it.

Is this your pre surgery diet?

I know all Dr.'s have different protocols for the pre surgery diet.

All my Dr told me was that I MUST loose X lbs before surgery or he will have to postpone. The hospital had a policy about foods 24 hrs prior to surgery,but that is in general to all major surgeries.

My Dr did not care how I lost the weight, as long as I did. liquid shake Meal Replacements just so happen to work the best!

But in my case, I did not have to beat myself up if I ate sold foods from time to time.

My surgery was a Monday, I had my last wigh in with the Dr on the Friday prior.

      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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
