Ugh! 2week liquid diet! How did you do?



Recommended Posts

I'm on day 5 of a 2 week clear liquid diet, I'm allergic to aspartame so I have to make pop sickles with Splenda and kool-aid I cant do Jello due to also having allergies to high volumes of Gelatin, I fell off the wagon twice already within these past 5 days. I'm limited on the go to items that would normally make this diet tolerable, how did you guys do? Did it affect the outcome of your surgery?

Are you allowed Protein drinks? My pre-op diet included them. I used the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury products- 1 for Breakfast, the Soup for lunch, 1 for an afternoon snack and another for dinner. Other than being boring I wasn't starving with the high Protein intake. The premier Protein Drinks from costco are also really good. Below are the ingredients for the Unjury products. Are you allergic to any of them?

Ingredients: whey Protein Isolate, Fructose, Cocoa powder (Alkali Processed), Natural Flavors, Soy Lecithin, Xanthan Gum, Sea Salt, Acesulfame Potassium, Sucralose, Potassium Chloride.

I'm on day 8 now. The first few days were tough. Now it is just boring. I am getting a little sick of the Protein shakes, but I try to mix them up a little. I would like something to eat that is not sweet. Other than that, getting close to the prize. Hang in there. Time will go by and you'll be happy you did it.

No protein drinks allowed for me, I have slipped a couple of times but I did aim for low carb foods. I'm glad to be at a point where my stomach will not hold much. This will help. Lol

This is the hardest part of the whole process I think. I did a week of Clear Liquids plus 4 shakes a day and it got much easier as time went on. Day 2 fell on valentines day and I did have a couple Cookies lol. It didn't affect my surgery though... my doctor said my liver looked great. :)

Today was day 8 of my pre-op liquid diet and I had my pre-op testing today. Blood work, x-rays, EKG and urine. When they weighed me I lost 8 pounds. Six more days to go on this and then surgery. Our days will be here before you know it. We got this!

It is hard but so worth it, I've been overweight my entire 38 years on this earth and I can honestly say that I've never looked forward to being restricted on foods, come on sleeve day!!!! Lol. This indeed will get better.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
