The struggle is real..



Recommended Posts

I just started day one of the liquid diet. Ugh I didn't think I would have an issue, but darn...the struggle is real!! So hungry, but a Protein Shake is just filling me up, its not satisfying me. Oh well. I can do it!

Yes, you can do it! It gets easier with time. Just don't wait until you are hungry to have something. If you stay out in front of it and structure the meals, it will be a lot easier.

I was like caffeine free coffee, then Protein Shake, then broth, then Protein shake, then green veggie juice, then protein shake, then broth if I needed it. I was having something every few hours, and drinking Water in between. I never felt hunger at all. I was actually tired of drinking (eating).

Just keep plugging away. You will be done with all of this liquid craziness in due time.

Exactly what DropWt4Life said. You can soldier through this, most of us had to just get through it and it will be worth it. After a couple days you won't be as hungry - you will be bored - lol - so find something to occupy your mind - a book, a hobby, a marathon Netflix session, a long walk, etc.

Good luck - you are almost to the 'other side'.

I totally second that about the broth! The broth saved me in those days. It breaks up the monotonous sweet with some much needed salt! Yep, you can do it!

YES!! You can do this!! Remember why you are even doing the drinks and keep your eyes on the prize!!! KEEP ON KEEPING ON!! BTW the broth is wonderful...you get something hot and it breaks up the monotony of the cold drinks. Also, I'm not sure if you can have coffee (maybe Decaf if you are a coffee drinker) add some of your Protein Drinks to it.

This is not easy but you've the right attitude: you can do it! Sometimes something as challenging as this is made all the easier when you know it's a hard requirement. This is something you must do.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
