I actually recently did a "liquid" fast,pretty much Water and chicken broth for a day....It really helped though because I wanted to see how big my pouch was and if I had streched it out. Well turns out I ate very little for the next day or two, so it did help shrink things down. I can say that before the band I would have binged the day after a fast but my stomach is different now with the band and I find it helpful. Though I have to say that I also don't really have any medical issues that would put me in a dangerous place if I didn't eat, so this obviously isn't for everyone. But I do find it nice as a "reset" button....also not really a diet or a starvation mode thing if you only do it once every so often...now if it were for a week or two at a time...well DUH! that's just plain unhealthy...

Make me jealous...a tree loaded with lemons? I have trees in my orchard loaded with...ummm...bare branches. :thumbup:

My sister got me to do the Master Cleanser awhile back, but I gotta tell you...drinking epsom salts isn't gonna happen. As fast as they go down, they come right back up. I did a modified version and that works well. Actually, I had a few hunger pains yesterday by evening on the juice, but never did with the modified Master Cleanser.

Ok Elfie.... I am sitting here as I type.... drinking my "smooth move" tea..... I went and picked enough lemons off my tree to make a gallon of "mexican lemonade" :thumbup: My plan is to do this for 2 weeks and perhaps longer.... min of 2 weeks. I have an allergy appt for the 8th of Jan. I want to be tested and have basically nothing in my system that provides a false positive. ;o). Not to mention jumpstarting the weightloss again for the first of the year. I have become superb at maintaining. ;o) Hopefully this will also propel me in to more consistant exercise since I feel so good while fasting and accomplish so much.

Want to jump on the Lemon truck with me!?

Happy 2010! Lets be losers! hey doesnt' biggest loser start up again on the 5th?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
