Slurp! My pre-band liquid diet starts today!



Recommended Posts

Hi all!

You all know how excited I am to be banded on Sept 2--I am the blender queen this week in preparation and I guess, practice for post op too!

Just blabbing !

Today is day 5 of my pre-op full liquid diet--I swear to God, I am starving! I could eat the whole house--or even my child if he didn't keep outrunning me (just wait, you little bugger!)--half joking, half serious!

Is this what it's like afterward? I keep thinking, hmmmmm, if no one sees me eat it, it didn't happen, right? Um no......

Very stressed about this today and wondering about anyone else's experience !!!!

You are funny!! Thanks for the giggle. I have to go to class now--ugh--1.5 hours of sheeeeeeer boredom with a teacher who has a high sort of falsetto voice. Makes me crazy! I must be grumpier without food!

going to ignore the fact that across from the school is heaven on earth--Dairy Queen!

oh, bad day, bad day!

Only have to live like this until Thursday--then I get my band and this will all make sense, right?

No one ever died on the pre-op liquid diet. lol. It's tough, I know, but it'll be no time before you are banded and asking questions about why you have no restriction right out of the box. This too shall pass... :-)

Stay away from the DQ - it is NOT your friend.

The pre op liquid diet is so much harder thenthe post op diet. I had the biggest fears that I would not make it through the post op liquid phase, but with all the swelling and gas you are not even hungry. It is the strangest thing

Hunger for me kicked in week 3..hang in there you will do great, after the post op liquid phase is gone you will be wondering why you worrried so much about it. You will see that your hunger is virtually gone right after surgery for the first week

Good Luck

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
