New diet i found



Recommended Posts

Take it with a grain of salt. It just seemed interesting to me when I ran across it. I might give it a shot to see how well it works. It seems to me that it would be a lot of Water weight lost, but they say you can repeat it the next week and get the same results, and can continue to do the diet over and over till you are satisfied. We'll see.

This is the same has the cabbage Soup diet- just slight differences in the ingredients. It does work but usually once you stop you put the added weight back. I used to do this but never had tried any diet when banded. Maybe its worth a shot;0)

It looks like a pretty feasible diet -- just beware if you are DIABETIC -- 3 bananas and milk will raise your blood sugars to a point of no return since diabetics are limited to 1/2 a banana per WEEK....otherwise go for it I say! lol

Fortunately I do not have any comorbities in the diabetes dept. I just have joint pain and muscle aches. So I am thinking I am going to do this diet. I will be getting the ingredients this weekend. I will keep y'all updated on how it goes.

Hi.......I saw this at bottom of your post:

Apron Surgery: 07/07/06 with Dr. Cardenas in Monterrey, MX

Lapband Surgery: Sometime in September with Dr. Sanchez in Monterrey, MX

You mean it's possible to have the apron removed before the LB??? :faint:

Why didn't somebody tell me that before I had mine??? I would love to get rid of this bag hanging clear to my knees !! I know at my age it's not going to 'firm up'...it'll be with me till I can get someone to take a knife to it.

Maybe I can do it now? I've lost about 50 lb but have another 100 or more to go. Might have to do it again later?

Best wishes to you.........

HAHAHA Thanks! I plan on having more surgery done after I reach goal, but yes...I need my huge apron taken off so I can workout properly, and not have to dress specifically so that I do not get sores from the skin touching and my sweating while workingout. It is awful. And I can't wait to have it gone!!!

Hey Funny!

This diet looks real interesting. I am in a little funk & wondering if maybe this would kick my butt in gear. I love this soup! I made it a few years ago & it was yummy. :P :scared: I have a friend who lost 50 lbs. on the cabbage Soup diet.

When do you plan on starting this? Let us know how it goes!

Ive done the cabbage Soup diet before and my friend (unbanded) swears by the sacredheart diet. It is designed for rapid weightloss and apparently it works. Its just a matter of how long you can tolerate it before you start gagging at the thought of soup. *grins*

Hey Amy! My first though was that this is very similiar to the cabbage Soup diet, which has been around forever. One of my girlfriends and I did it once years ago, we both lost a decent amount. We didnt add the other foods, just lived on the soup for 2 week, lol! It gets old fast but we DID lose while doing it. I wish I weighed NOW what I did back then when I thought I was fat.

I am going to get all the stuff to make it this friday or saturday. I am going to start it monday, because I plan on doing a lot of drinking this weekend HA! But we will see how it goes. I plan on doing two weigh ins each week. One on mondays for the diet, and one on wednesdays for GFG.

I did the cabbage Soup diet a few times last year... this looks almost exactly like it. I was sooo excited for banana and milk day when it came! I ate like 9 bananas and 3L of milk... I lost 14 lbs the first week, and almost that much the other times. It's a good kick-start.

Ok. Starting today. I would have started yesterday but the tropical storm kept knocking out our power and I couldn't get the Soup fully cooked till 2am this morning. But I am doin it today, and so is DH. I am going to go with my normal wednesday weigh ins instead of twice a week. So I will have a starting weight tomorrow to work off of.

I have to say....the soup is fantastic!!! I could never do the cabbage soup diet cause I find that stuff repulsive, but this veggie stew is awesome!! It is so flavorful, and it is all my fave veggies in it! The combo of beef broth and chicken noodle soup is a great one! And the tomatoes add a special kick. Instead of doing 3 large green onions, I used 7 small to medium Vidalia onions. The soup is sweet and flavorful. I am going to be happy eating that anytime.

So DH's starting weight is 191. My starting weight will come tomorrow. I will update the thread to let you all know how it is going and if I am losing the 10-17 pounds promised. LOL

ok....disclaimer.... LOL

This diet did not originate at Sacred Heart Memorial Hospital (in Spokane I believe) and is VERY similar to the cabbage Soup diet. Only without the yucky cabbage. LOL I called my nutritionist and asked her about it. She said that while it is not a diet to live on permenantly, it is one that can be done for weight loss, and does work. She does recommend adding a breast of boiled or broiled chicken to the days that do not include beef, so hat you do not drop your Protein intake too low. No skin. She also said to be careful about the banana day, because they are high in sugar and can cause your blood sugar to spike.

I just want you all to know that I am researching this, not just plastering info on a diet that may or may not be real. :) I guess I should say "As with any diet, be sure to seek the advice of your physician before starting any new regimine."

Man this soup is good!!!! LOL

Hey Funny!

I am doing this with you too!! My daughter & I started yesterday. I lost 1 lb in one day & my daughter lost 2 lbs!! I think the Soup is yummy. Today is Veggie day & I'm having cucumbers, soup & cherry juice for Breakfast. ha!

I researched this on-line as well & found that the people who have done this reccomend you take a good Multi-Vitamin every day. I think I may also drink some Isopure to get in some extra Protein on the non-beef days.

I've been on a plateau for a LONG time & I just needed a little something to get me back in the game. This just might be it. :):)

The soup is very band friendly & super healthy. I really like it & could easily eat it for a normal meal some day.

I'll let you know how it goes!!! Good luck Funny!!!

I have heard of this diet last fall, thought about doing it, and then like all my old diets...didn't do it! I have been losing very slow and was thinking about joining you on this one...but for some reason I'm chicken. I think I'll wait and see how it goes for the both of you first. Please update the thread with your progress...it is appreciated.

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      3. NickelChip

        I think it's important to remember that the weight charts and BMI ranges were developed a very long time ago and only intended to be applied to people who have never been overweight or obese. Those numbers aren't for us. When you are larger, especially for a long time, your body develops extra bone to support the weight. Your organs get a little bigger to handle the extra mass. Your entire infrastructure increases so you can support and function with the extra weight. That doesn't all go away just because you burn off the excess fat. If you still had a pair of jeans from your skinniest point in life and then lost weight to get to the exact number on the scale you were when those jeans fit you, chances are they would be a little baggy now because you would actually be thinner than you were, even though the scale and the BMI chart disagree. When in doubt, listen to the jeans, not the scale!

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
