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!

      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!
