Actually surviving the clear liquid diet!

[karpouzian 94]

Now sure, it has only been a day and a half, but I'm actually surviving this... Being at work will be the real test on Monday, but all I have to do is make it 'till August 6th, then my surgery will happen...

Protein is helping a ton, and I'm not TOOOO HANGRY!

Is anyone else on the liquid diet right now and doing myfitnesspal? I'd like to see other people's menus.

I am on the liquid preop diet. I just started my fit pal but my intake is something like this:

4 Protein shakes with un sweetened Almond Milk

2-4 sugar free Jello

1 sugar free Popsicle

At least 80-100 ounces of Water

I should mention that I am on day 5 of my 14 day preop, I will be sleeved on July 31st.

Yah, I m liking the Isopure rtd way better than shakes. They dry out your mouth, but they actually taste ok!

[kim070682 22]

Is the Isopure RTD like Gatorade?

A LOT like it, actually. Pretty expensive, but not horrible at 1x day. 49 grams of Protein, no sugar.

I got top ramen noodles and just used the flavor packet and added non flavored Protein.< /p>

And it is only 10-20 cents a packet. Shame to waste the noodles, though. (No, I must stop thinking like that!)

I still catch myself thinking' "Geez, I would love to be able to eat...." But NO! I went through this so that I wouldn't eat that crud anymore.

I am too at liquid stage (surgery is Friday). I am doing good also. Adkins makes a Carmel coffee shake that is amazing!!!! This weekend I cleaned and tried to keep busy!!! Yogurt, Jello and Popsicles are by friend! I think work will be a breeze I don't much snack there but the watching tv and lounging at home is killing me to want something I also cleaned out the pantry of things I am giving my mom (stuff that will go bad before I could think of eating again)

I also spent Saturday baking cookies! The surgery department is like family (mom works there) and I bake all the time for them... That was hard not just trying one. I have to make my orange cream cake Thursday before surgery. God help me lol

So glad my dr doesn't do a diet before surgery .. It's sounds hard

I'll also be sleeved on July 31, and im on day 5 of pre op diet. I'm allowed 2 Protein Shakes and one meal of 1oz chicken, 1/2 cup green Beans and 1/2 mashed potatoes, plus a lot of fluids. I haven't been hungry but the head hunger is what's most annoying. No physical hunger but I can't help let the thoughts of the food I have in my kitchen into my head or the urge to go eat something just because. The hardest part is still having to cook for the husband and kids...I so want to give everything a taste test. I guess that's what people on this site call "food mourning"...lol. Good luck and good health to all.

Are you really on a clear liquid diet for 2 weeks? Yikes! I'll be on a liquid diet, but doing the clear liquid diet only 2 days b/4 surgery.....do you have a flavor of Isopure that you like better than others? I was never a gatorade girl......

good luck everyone, here we go!

The apple melon is my favorite so far.

Personally, I think liquids only is easier then shakes / 1 meal. Other then flavors, hot or cold there are no options. NO food. I find when I eat, I just want more. I'm also allowed 800 - 1000 calories. So far, I haven't gone over 620. I figured some Mango Italian ices would be a nice treat. It's only 100 calories and 0 fat. What I found was the sugar in the ices made me want more. I could have eaten the remaining 4 containers, but decided they were a trigger for me so it's best to avoid them. The sugar free popsicles are just as satisfying. When I want something warm and savory, chicken bullion works great. I'm thinking as long as I keep my Protein as close to 70 grams as I can, keeping the calories low can only help me lose quicker. I'm on day 5 and I don't feel weak at all. It's all good. 10 days till surgery.... I can't wait !!

My surgery is aug 6 and today's hasn't been bad my worse part when I head to work soon being around people who are always snacking.

My excitement is making me so nervous where I want to eat but I know this is why I chooses to do and start a new chapter in my life.

I have a good support team my husband he's actually doing the next 2 week shake diet with me!!!

My diet for today is

4 shakes

Water with lemon

Decaf black ice coffee

And a serving of cucumbers and tomatoe (dinner)

I went for a half a mile walk this morning

Good luck
