2 week liquids-scared!



Recommended Posts

As hard as it is, I would follow your surgeons orders. I'm on day four of a 21 day liquid diet and I'm already 7 pounds down! I've heard that the more you stick with your pre op diet, the more successful your surgery will be!

Well the thing is that every ones DR has a different pre op diet so sticking to one specific diet does not ensure a more successful surgery. I would do 90% liquids and if you absolutely must have something then have a zero carb snack or meal. Just do whatever you have to do to shrink your liver, start the weight loss momentum, and keep your surgeon happy.

I had two weeks of Bariatric Advantage shakes, 3 per day & also 2- 100 cal yogurts. The two day clear liquid (no protein) thing was rough, and I've been drinking Isopure for one week now. Tomorrow begins full liquids for me, so I can have creamy Soup & regular Protein Shakes again.... I cannot wait & may have cream of chicken for Breakfast, lol!!! Lost a bunch of weight though!

Well as I said before, I think it is smart to follow your doctor's orders. They know what is best for your body and how to get your liver to the size they want.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
