~2 Week Liquid Diet~

Okay... I know I am a big girl and this is part of the process but I am totally dreading the two-week liquid diet that I have to start on Monday! For those of you who have done it... how did you manage?!

  • Bottom line, I just put on my big girl panties and did it. Not only did I do it, I did it over the holidays with Christmas parties, birthday celebrations and a funeral. It's just part of the proces

  • Make your mind up right now that you can do it. Mine was two of only liquids. No Soups, only broth. sugar free Popsicles saved my butt cuz I felt like I was eating. I drank ready to drink Protein shak

  • Eat/drink on a schedule.. I have a fit bit and i scheduled My alarm to go off to remind me to eat. Drink plenty of Water. I won't lie, the first few days are the pits. You may experience head

Okay - today is the first day.... Hasn't been super bad! Had an optifast bar and one shake so far. Don't want to eat too much of my daily allowance early in the day and suffer tonight! Defiantly going to stop and get some broth on the way home though I think that will take some of the edge off! Hope everyone is doing okay!

Okay - Update- Day four not physically hungry too much. Tummy was growling a little last night but not overwhelming. It is definitely mental training! Weird not eating... Have to have control!

Only two more wake ups till surgery getting nervous/excited

You'll get through it just as the rest of us did. You'll do it a fews days and probably get used to it & it will all be good. This is what you'll have to do for a period of time post op anyway so you might as well get used to it.

I'm about 8 weeks post op, and don't mind the days where I choose to do liquids for more than one meal. Honestly sometimes it's just easier that way. Good luck to you.

. Sorry that I just saw this. I have the charge. You can set the alarm to go off whenever and how often you like. From the App select the right arrow at the top where it says "charge" go down to silent alarms. You have to set each alarm separately. Then select everyday.

Your right about Optifast it isn't very filling but once you get into the routine, what you thought you couldn't do, you WILL do because you have to. Their also right about the first 3 days bring the worst. I'm on Day 4 and each day it got easier. good luck

Love your positive attitude! It should be so much easier now! Keep up the positivity and you'll do great!

Thank you ! I'm counting down
