Scared for 2 week liquid diet



Recommended Posts

My surgery is July 15th. I start my two week liquid diet on July 1st. I am scared I will be hungry and frustrated during those weeks. Any advice?

The Protein shakes should have an appetite suppressant so a lot of the hunger will be head hunger. The best advice I can give is to just stick to it. You need to shrink your liver for a more successful surgery but you also need to start weaning yourself off foods that you won't be able to eat after surgery anyway. WLS is not an easy journey and it starts with the pre-op diet. However, if you stick to it this will be life changing. Whenever you feel hungry make a conscious decision to remind yourself why you are doing the liquid diet in the first place and that should keep you on track.

Best of luck to you!

I just did my pre-op diet alone. My son in law could not handle watching me drink that for required success. You got this follow the plan. Your doing bad......

Nope to me is that you are keeping it real.

I am finishing up my pre op diet tomorrow.

Drink lots and lots of Water .

Try to stay busy when you get hungry . Most times I was not really hungry but just bored.

Try to avoid going to parties of possible. I had to attend 2 birthday parties and a grad party the last two weeks. That was tough but I did it . It will go so quick , seemed like I just started my diet yesterday and today is day 14.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
