Started my liquid diet today....



Recommended Posts

I'm not going to lie, this sucks. I've gone my entire life eating what I want.. of course, that is what got me into this mess in the first place! I have started my Vitamins today with my liquids. A couple of Protein Shakes, several cups of broth, some SF Jello, and SF popsicles, and OMG the Water I've consumed! 6 more days of this is not my idea of fun.. BUT I HAVE SUPPORT and I WILL DO THIS! Okay, gotta go, I need a popsicle!

I am in the same boat, one week in, and it does suck, but keep your eye on the prize. It will be worth it. We have all dieted before, we can make it through the first few weeks. The reward at the end of this diet will be the greatest ever received. Good luck,

Thought I would update... Day 2 and I am retaining these dang fluids. I decided to hop on my scale for my weekly Friday weigh, and put on 4 pounds... 4!!! I'm not happy. I'm kind of hoping that this is a norm. Maybe the Fluid retention is because my body is confused as to why I'm not feeding it solid food! Either way, I am NOT happy at the moment and feel bloated and miserable, and HUNGRY! I talked to my BFF who is doing this with me tonight, and she told me she is feeling the same way, so at least I'm not the only one miserable, and you know what they say about misery loving company!

I'm not trying to discourage anyone, just thought I would fill you in. I knew it wasn't going to be fun, but I did not expect the bloating, and weight gain the first couple of days in. :(

You might check the label on your broth and make sure it isn't loaded with sodium. I am on day 4 of liquids and made my own broth without salt and I am losing weight okay. But it could just be like you said your body is in freak out mode and doesn't know what to do. Hang in there!

I made my own too. But, I've been label reading to double check everything because I thought the same thing at first. I'm pretty sure my innards are just in shock from being starved! lol

      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?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
