Day 3 Liquids...may eat my arm



Recommended Posts

What is PB2?

It's actually powdered Peanut Butter with much less fat and calories (85% less I think). You can reconstitute it into Peanut Butter by adding Water or add it to shakes, etc. It also comes in a peanut butter chocolate flavor. Found it in the peanut butter aisle or it's also available on Amazon.< /p>

I start liquids tmw but I started trying the shakes about 3 wks ago. I really like dymatize elite Protein Powder. I really don't get hungry for a couple of hrs after I drink it. And no aftertaste. Believe me I can be a bit of a baby and a picky eater lol so if I like it, it is worth a try

I'm here to tell you that I felt the same, and aside from some teeth marks (that faded in a day or two), I managed to not succumb. It will get better!

Think of the future and not the present. And sleep as much as possible. :)

PB2, Peanut Butter powder, added to Unjury chocolate Splendor Protein Powder with skim milk is terrific. It is also very filling.

Oh my goodness... I am on day 3 and feel like I could eat my own arm off. I know I will get through this' date=' but I want to eat so bad right now. I don't know how I am going to do this for 3-6 weeks.[/quote']

How are you today?

I know you can do this!

You are going to have a second chance at a healthier and happier life. Remember that in the tough moments.

I didn't have to do as long as you, but what kept me going was that finally at the end of this liquid diet I was going to get REAL help.

I truly feel blessed that I was given this chance.

Not everyone will get this wonderful opportunity that we have. So I guess what I'm saying is trust me... The suffering IS worth it this time

I am on day three, today. Not having food isnt bothering me nearly as much as my stomach screaming, the heartburn, and constant trips to the potty. Ready for tomorrow to be overwith.

I might have to try that. Where did you get it?

I got the sf Torani from cost plus world market. They've most of the flavors in regular and sugar free. I've also bought off the Torani website too.

They are great to have to change up flavors when I want!

For the record, today I feel like I have the most energy I've had in years. I'm on day 3 of all liquid Protein pre op, and day 5 for no caffeine. scale says lost 10 so far. I want to believe it so badly, but trying to forget about that part.

I'm also just finishing my first shake of the day..I've been busy but up and awake for 4 hours now.

Laura,

Thanks so much for the encouragement. I am doing ok today. Have a little bit of a headache, but good. I keep reminding myself that this is all for a good reason.

It does get easier, and you will get through it!

Are you pre-op or post op?

This might help, it's our first episode and we talk about the liquids phase:

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
