Day #3 liquid diet. Ughhhhh.



Recommended Posts

Wow, this is so hard. I am starting Day #3 and I don't even want to get out of bed. It's amazing what a motivator food was/is for me and now it's gone. I am allowed 4 shakes, 2 bars, and a small banana each day for my 14 days. What doesn't help is that I am at the beach with my 14 person extended family and there is junk food everywhere! I knew these two events would coincide but knowing it doesn't make it any easier. Plus, I am a savory/ comfort food girl, not at all into sweets, so these "chocolate" and "vanilla" "shakes" are just icky to me.

Ok, pity party over. Anyone else want to commiserate? It will all be worth it, I know, but this is really hard!!

It is so very hard. It will be hard post surgery too... ???? and then if you do like I did, your brain sort of triggers something and you think... "It looks good, it smells good, but it will make me sick... Then you no longer want it. I was the biggest chocolate lover ever... Now I can't stand it!!

You are right it will be worth it and soon enough you will be seeing the results of surgery that will make all the sacrifices you are making worth it! (((Hugs)))

Im so glad @@RuxieGirl, I am 9 months out, and honestly, I don't know why my brain did what it did... I think it was just knowing how much recovery and everything I was (am) going through I didn't want to sabotage myself either. Please keep me posted on how you are doing! Im super excited for you and your Journey!

I am still on all liquid diet and 4days post op. I am struggling watching my family eat normal foods. I have found myself feeling hungry but I know it's just 'Head hunger'. I just keep telling myself, it's not worth it and to charge through it!

I love Unjury chicken Protein mix. I hate sweets so having that on hand is a must for me.

chicken broth saved my life during my liquid diet. I know some companies have a savory Protein Soup mix instead of the shakes.

You will look back in a couple of months and know you struggled, but you also know it paid off. You will thank yourself for everything you did. It's funny I went to lunch and ordered steamed veggies and the amount of butter they were in was disgusting. I remember choking down the same veggies 6 months ago and thinking how flavorless these veggies were. Something happened to me. I don't understand it!!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
