7 days of liquid/Got words of wisdom to help?



Recommended Posts

I had to laugh at the irony of a 7 day all liquid diet.... If I had that kind of will power then would I be getting surgery? ???

Any words of wisdom you can share is so great! I have 5 shakes for each day and all the other liquids for the additional 64 Oz of liquid each day.

Everything is organized. I plan to stay in my bedroom and not go near the kitchen!

Wish me luck because I am so nervous about sticking to this until next Sunday!

No words of wisdom but a little perspective...

I did 4 weeks of liquids prior to surgery...

You have a week?

Suck it up and get it done!!! :D

Good luck with it...

I'm on day 5 of a 14 day pre-op liquid diet. The first 3 days were just awful, my stomach was growling and I couldn't sleep. Yesterday afternoon, something clicked and I no longer felt the anxious growling in my stomach. Today, I awoke feeling good and no growling. I think I can do this and am feeling much better with more energy. I'm assuming this is the result of my body going into ketosis as my surgeon so often explained to me. I'm determined to get through this.....surgery on the 30th.

I'm not trying to be a jerk here......but if you don't have the willpower to do a 7-day liquid diet.....then you aren't ready to have the surgery.

You'll be on liquids afterwards and you'll need discipline to ensure you take your supplements on schedule.......

I can assure you, though.......the toughest part of the whole deal for me was that initial liquid diet. It does test you. It is unbelievably easy once you get a couple months out.

I'm 9 weeks out from my sleeve surgery and this weekend has been extremely easy.......fired up my grill and had tons of fun grilling for the family.......I enjoyed tasting the things I cooked and had fun with it. Hopped on the scale this morning and saw that progress had been ongoing during my weekend's fun.

It gets much, much easier than the short pre-op diet and the short period following. Trust and believe.

Again.....sorry if I sound harsh.....but think of the pre-op diet as a process check. Hopefully you've already been losing weight prior to surgery. The liquid diet will kick things into gear, too. You'll really see some progress then. Embrace it. The goal is to lose weight......not simply wait around until surgery to lose weight. Embrace the losing and everything required to do so. YOU WILL THANK YOURSELF LATER !!!!!

@@MsCyrus if you survived day one you are good to go lady! Good job. @@Dub would call me a weenie I'm sure, but I really didn't know if I could handle the pre op liquid diet. I had 14 days. My doc said say one and two are the toughest. He was right. I actually was filled by the Protein shakes I had. To be honest, I was really afraid of the pre op diet. @@Dub go ahead and take your stabs at me. I can take it :). It was not horrible at all. I did get bored with liquids after week one then it got a little tough.

You got this! You can do it and you WILL do it! Seriously, 7 days will fly by. I promise!!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
