Liquid Diet

I think we have 3 people on liquid diets right now on the Feb board?? How are you guys doing with it so far?

I started mine yesterday, four days earlier.  Glad I did, those darm M&M's were calling to me today!!  I know, bad girl, that is the only thing I slipped on. I think I "swish" when I walk, with so much liquid.  Hope everyone else is doing okay. 

LOL on the swishing! I was thinking of doing a trial run for a couple of days. I only do mine for 3 days, but it's nothing but clear liquids, sf popsicles, and sf jello. I just wanted to do the trial run so that I would know what to expect with my blood sugars.

Hey Steph.  I am trying to ease into my pre-op diet. It's 4 protein shakes a day, 2 servings of fruit and dinner with 4 oz of lean protein and vegetables.  I am required to start on Monday.

Hope everyone's doing well!  Tomorrow, I meet with my surgeon and anesthesiologist. Saturday, I see my regular doc and Sunday, I start liquids.  I did fine before my LapBand in '07---except for one thing---I drank too much V8 Juice!  My rear was probably as red as the V8; I was very raw.  I know this sounds weird, but I'm not around any babies, but I just discovered baby wipes with aloe in them!  I had some issues a few days ago and a friend suggested it.  Boy, those things worked like a charm!  Took all the burning away immediately!  I guess I'm telling my age, but there was no such thing as baby wipes when my kids were little...

TMI..... I use them when I have the runs or my time of the month. It's the same thing as the "Cottonelle Wipes" or "Always Wipes", just a hell of alot cheaper!

Oh, I forgot to say that V8 Fusion is a much better choice...

Hi today was the first day, so far so good, day time was a struggle all those commercialson food.....Virginia

I am trying to hang in there it's rough but it's ok. Staying focused and knowing what I will be able to accomplish with all of this is always on my mind. One slip up and my surgeon can deny me.

I will be having RNY on Feb. 12, 09. I am excited. Here we have to do a 14 day optifast or slimfast diet.   No food, no coffee. Just slimfast and water. I will miss my morning coffee. :(
