Liquid Diet Support



Recommended Posts

I went cold turkey on food and caffeine when starting the liquid diet. I can't imagine working nights without caffeine at least! Good luck to you. Stay strong! I'm at Day 14 of all liquid. I've got one more day, then surgery Thursday. I weigh myself every morning and that helps to keep me motivated. I've lost 22 pounds in 2 weeks. Keep at it!

Hope you had a successful surgery! I had to do the Optifast for 2 weeks too & was so proud I didn't cheat either! A nurse at my surgeons office gave me the encouragement I needed when she told me they had opened a few people up & could tell they didn't stick to the diet, so they didn't do the surgery because their liver was too fatty. I said to myself oh no that won't be me!

Just got back from Walmart, got everything ready for this pre diet before surgery the 31st, got my Unjury unflavored, chicken broth, and chocolate, bought all types of crystal light flavors, and alot of decaffeinated lipton tea, i have plenty of splenda, and truvia, bought a package of lean beef that has 4 slices in it. bought some frozen plain broccoli and cauliflower, and a microwave steamer, got my beef and turkey Jerky. I am prepared. oh yea got the meds the surgeon prescribed for after surgery, got some benadryl cream for the itching everyone talks about. got that crappy grape flavored magnesium citrate for the day before surgery and an extra bottle in case a week after I cant poop. bought 2 lean cuisines that i could find that didnt have Pasta in it.

I think I am ready, just wonder if i can get them to give me a xanax for my nerves haha, plz jesus dont let me puke.

      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!
