The Last Real Meal



Recommended Posts

As tomorrow approaches I feel happy excited, scared, anxious and intimidated all kinds of emotion are running thru me. I start my Optifast tomorrow and im so nervous about it. Is it weird that im not scared of having the surgery (probably cuz ive been under the knife about 3 other times), but this liquid diet got me on edge, I guess if I didnt have to cook for my kids I would feel a little better. So I had my last real meal today, it was steak potato and veggies as of 8am tomorrow I will b on the grind with this liquid diet, I kno I will need words of encouragement to get thru. At least I have a friend who had the surgery about 4yrs ago she's willing to go on a liquid diet with me.

That's nice of your friend. The liquid diet is hard at first. As the days go by it gets easier. Good Luck.

How long is your liquid diet?

Four long hard weeks as I type im tryna get down my first shake and OMG Im gaging im gonna have to doctor these up cuz my stomach cant take it this vanilla shake reminds me to much like milk and I cant drink that it comes rite back up soon as it hits my stomach. I literally have to do the little kids trick plug my nose or hold my breath and get it down, well at least it'll take me a while to drink it.

      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'. ???

        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.

      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!
