Starting my liquid diet tomorrow!!

I am starting my liquid diet tomorrow in prep for surgery! I don't have to start it until next thursday, but I am going to Kansas City for work on Thursday and don't want to go through the hardest days being away from home. I only have 20 more days till surgery and I am so excited. I can't wait to move over to the losing side and the future!!! We are all going to do great!!!!

I am also starting my liquid diet tomorrow. Good Luck, I'll be thinking of you! Abbey

Hi Ladies, Good luck starting your diets...I don't technically have to start mine until this coming Tuesday, but I started last week just to get the ball rolling. It is not so bad...I actually really like the protein I got from bariatriceating.com, but the biggest issue I had (at first) was being EXTREMELY tired and sluggish. My biggest piece of advice (in case you haven't already heard it) is to start the sublingual B vitamins NOW if you haven't already. Once I started taking those, my energy was back! Have Fun! Erica

I am doing ok on it but I had to go to the grocery store to get milk and water. Boy was that a mistake! Now I am super hungry! The liquid diet that the surgeon wants us to do is : 5 cups of carnation instant breakfast SF of course 64 oz of water or sugar free liquids, including broth OR 5 cans of SF slimfast I am doing the CIB and it is actually really yummy! I just started my Vitamin B and am waiting on a shipment from Bariatric Advantage for the rest of my vitamins.

ok I cheated!!! I made a pot of homemade broth and decided to try out pureed chicken. It was actually good! I took a little piece of chicken, a piece of carrot, a piece of onion and some broth. Then blended it to the consistancy of babyfood and gave it a try. Even my husband liked it LOL WOOHOO this will be easier than I thought!

Oh my goodness, I am starving. The hardest part for me is making meals for the rest of the household and not getting to eat it. The best part of my day was malt o meal! I never thought I'd look forward to malt o meal. I'm trying to keep really busy. Take Care, Abbey

How's the LD going, Rachel? I hope very well!!! I'm thinking of doing the same this, that is, starting the LD early. We are going to do great! Jean

Well I am doing pretty well on it. It gets easier as the days go by. I have lost 3 pounds since I started it so that's good Especially since I started taking B12 and my multivitamins from Bariatric Advantage. How is it going with everyone else?
