Am I doing this right? Liquid diet



Recommended Posts

I just started my liquid diet today and I already feel like I'm doing it wrong ???? My Meal Replacement powder says one serving is 8 ounces of Water and 2 scoops of powder. Well, for some reason the 8 ounce mark on the shaker/mixer/tumbler thingy doesn't look like much at all. Doesn't seem like 8 ounces. I'm only allowed 5 shakes a day...which equals out to 800 calories. Do anyone else's servings seem real little? Obviously I know I'm not going to be drinking 5 huge shakes, I just am second guessing myself at every opportunity and need reassurance.

8 ounces is not very much. A normal coffee mug holds 10-12 ounces. 8 ounces is more like a tea cup.

If you want to use more Water, you can. Water has no calories and there is certainly no harm in drinking more of it!

If you blend the 8 ounces with a bunch of crushed ice it makes a lot more then 8 ounces. Drink slowly - if you can supplement in between these shakes a sugar-free popsicle or Jello do so. Remember after a few days...never trust a fart because the liquid needs to come out eventually.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
