Liquid diet day 2-STRUGGLING



Recommended Posts

I'm on a 2 week liquid diet, 5 shakes a day. I am so used to eating a LOT. I'm on day 2 and all I can think about is tacos. I knew this wasn't going to be easy. But shoo! This is ROUGH.

I'm trying to stay focused on my goal. I don't want to let some delicious tacos get in my way.

Stay strong! Once you're into day 3 or 4 the cravings and hunger subside. It's the oddest thing but it will happen. Keep your Fluid up to help with feeling full. You can do this!

I'm on day 3 of my liquid diet and it hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be. What's working for me right now is keeping something to drink in my hands, having sugar free Jello, and staying busy all day. By the time I'm done, I honestly don't think about eating which is a shock to me since my entire life has been controlled by food. I just pray I can stay strong on the weekends. I also stay reading post here, watching youtube videos, and searching instagram #vsg. It's very motivating. @@tiffanymarie6997 we can do this!

I was kinda lucky that when my insurance approved me there was an opening for surgery less than 2 weeks away. I went for my pre-op visit Monday and started my liquid diet that night. I will be banded on next Tuesday. liquid diet for only a week won't be too bad. Add in the 2 was or so post op and I will be fine.

Just remember, for every minute, hour, and day you are on the liquid diet, you are that much closer to eating again. Stay positive even though it sucks. We have 5 teenage boys and there's always pizza, burgers, wings, and tacos around. I will be able to eat again soon and feel so much better for the journey!

Tiffmarie....As you've read...the first 3-5 days can be rough. You have to be focused and STRONG!!!!. I visualize all the food I ate to get me to 400 lbs., and it keeps me on track. Don't forget broth. You will appreciate broth. Watch the sodium. You can expect to lose 15-20 lbs. too. You know the pre op shrinks your liver, and results in weight loss. We have similar BMI's, so we need to lose more weight. I've been on my liquid diet for a over a month, and have 12 days to go. You can do it. Don't be around a lot of food/eating. It makes it much harder. TV is bad for food commercials, so hopefully you have a remote.I don't. Yes tacos are delicious, but weight loss is better. 80 lbs. for me.175 to go....GOOD LUCK.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
