Going On A Liquid Boot Camp...



Recommended Posts

Five months out, and really never totally transitioned to solid foods.

I think I am going to take a week or two, do a boot camp, and start making thorough notes on my day to day progression back to solids. I will not be goin gback to clears...just protien shakes and exceptionally runny mushies - with a strong emphasis on low-carb.

Has anyone else done this?

I'm not sure I understand what you are looking for clarification on, you are 5 months out and not eating solids yet? So, how would doing mushies and shakes be any different than what you are doing? Or are you trying to say that you have done solids, but would like a "reset" and so are going back on liquids?

I do occasionally go back and do all liquids for at least 3 days and then just basic stuff like Soups with some veggies in them. It does help me start to move things around. You have lost 90 lbs and that's absolutely fabulous! So proud of you. :)

It should have read "wholly transitioned". There was also a brief explanation that I can't do solids consistently...I am not sure why my phone keeps editing my posts!

I do mean go back and start again on a softer level...maybe give my tummy (George) time to do his thing.

ah, gotcha! ;) These new phones are supposed to be smart ...? Stupid autocorrect makes my texts look schizophrenic =). I think my recommendation would be increasingly meaty broths, specifically using (red) meat. If you can lull your stomach into complacentcy by hiding the meat in a very liquid broth, and then slowly make the broths richer and meatier, eventually you could be nibbling on something like very moist crock pot pot roast. Also, organic yogurt is always a good thing, rectifies any imbalances you may have of the good gut critters =)

I've read that the five day boot camp is a way to re-set your sleeve and help if you think it may have stretched, but haven't seen anything about it helping get solids down. Is it that you can't eat certain foods, or anything that's solid?

As long as your healthy........I say whatever you've been doing, since your surgery, is definately working. Ninety pounds since January..... that's amazing!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
