How did you guys do the 2 week/1 week liquid only diet?



Recommended Posts

@@Catherine Davis You are a much better person than I! I let my hubs know up front I would NOT be cooking anything for 2 weeks, he was in charge of making sure the kids were feed. I stayed in my room every time they would eat. Guess what?! They survived!! Ha!

Day 9 and today I put out a picture of myself at 135lbs and my daughter to remind me that i can do this and how much I am going to enjoy all the future events with my daughter - starting with college graduation in May 2016. I will take pictures this time I have maybe 1 picture with her at high school graduation. Only 4 more days and surgery on Monday August 10th.

My was only for a week. Full liquids required for the first 6 days and Clear Liquids the day before surgery. I am only my last day of the pre-op. Going into tomorrow for my surgery.

I am on day 5 and I am hanging in there. I have kept myself so busy and I am taking one day at a time and it seems to be working out OK. I had headaches the first few days and I cried the very

first day to my husband. He just reminded me of how hard I have worked and how bad I want to make this life change. I have to get thru this weekend though ... I have increased my activity levels as well. My surgeon suggested I get more activity in these next two weeks because it may help

with my recovery. Good Luck everyone !!! We have got this !!!!!

I'm lucky because I only have liquids for Breakfast and lunch. For supper we get a lean meat and vegetables. Also, for Snacks we can have a piece of fruit, low-fat yogurt or more veggies. I have lost 12 pounds in 10 days on this and it is giving me a lot of confidence that I can do the post-op diet as well. That's been the most important thing, the psychological boost from following the plan and gaining that confidence.

@Elode....Love the naked pic Idea! This will also be my motivation to stay on my liquid diet! This just keeps getting better!

My diet is three shakes a day and two cups of non starchy veggies (although I am probably eating at least four cups of veggies because I have been so hungry). I'm meant to be avoiding caffeine and carbonated drinks but I can't manage that entirely yet and am still drinking diet coke. It was really hard today because I was on canteen duty at my kids' soccer - making bacon and egg rolls, sausage sandwiches, putting lollies in bags ???? and I had to cook roast chicken for my family tonight (my husband refuses to cook, and if I relied on him the kids would starve) 'sigh' ????

Elode, if I didn't cook my kids would starve! As an example, last school holidays my husband was home with the kids for a few days (usually I am home with them, but I didn't have enough leave from work). I got the bus to and from work so my husband could use the car (last bus leaves Yass at 7.15am, returns 6.45pm, and the trip takes an hour each way). I got home about 7pm and the kids were starving- they said " dad didn't give us any lunch!". When I asked Kevin he said it was because they ran out of bread!!! I reminded him he had the car and could have bought some anytime, and he said " I told the kids to put their shoes on. They didn't, so we didn't leave the house". I asked how many times he asked them to put shoes on. The answer: once! Holy sh$t!!!! I was mad.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
