In support of BAFers liquid dieters ~for surgery~ and our newly post-ops ~some have to do liquids for 2-3 weeks~ and because some of us just may want/need to detox the eat wrongs ~yeah, I made that up~ from the weekend, I will once again do an ALL LIQUID MONDAY.

Even if you don't join in, let's support the them and give encouragement. I never had to do all liquids pre- nor post-op, I can attest that it ain't easy \0/.

So, prepare today for tomorrow:

Dedee's list:
coffee (decaf)
water, water, water
protein shake ~gag at the thought~
green tea
2% milk (only 8 oz)
water, water, water
broth of some kind
more green tea
~possible protein shake~
crushed ice with fresh lemon juice and salt ~bad Dedee--but this kills the need to chew for me~
before bed, I will have me some luke warm 2% milk with 1/2 of a small banana ~being honest~ and YES I cut my nana up in my milk

I will have my vitamins!

I focus not on my disabilty; my focus is on my ABILITIES.

Hi Dedee,

I plan on doing the liquid Monday with y'all. I have had 2 babies back to back and have 35lbs that I need to lose ASAP. Trying yet again to be accountable!

I gotta question for you when you eat the crushed ice w/lemon juice do you add any sweetner with it?? And, do you put lemon juice in your water?

Tomorrow, I will have
Decaf coffee w/EAS chocolate protein
chicken broth w/ Unjury unflavored protein
cystal light w/Unjury unflavored protein
warm milk w/Muscle Milk vanilla protein
SF popsicles
chicken broth w/Unjury unflavored protein

And, my goal for tomorrow 100 ozs. of water!! (lawd, help me)

Be Blessed,
Sharonne

I just squeeze a half of fresh lemon over my crushed ice and add salt ~don't do that~ put it in the freezer and eat it with a spoon! When I do all liquids, I have the urge to chew....that kills the urge for me and I love sour lemons LOL

I do add lemon slices to my water often and when out to eat, I have water with extra lemon and then add Splenda ~so good~

I focus not on my disabilty; my focus is on my ABILITIES.

Roxy you are awfully early out to be doing liquids and trick diet stuff, your still in your loosing window, maybe you might want to let your body do what it is going to do before trying stuff like this.

This stuff is usually for people that are a ways out and trying to get a kick start.

Greetings,
Thanks so much for your concern. I am not doing it to just start any thingnor am I going to make it a habit. I am sure one day will not hurt. Hell i didn't even get eat or drink anything till i was 2.5 weeks out because of complications. I think one day of liquids will be ok. But again thanks for your concern.

Les, the all liquid Monday is great for early post-ops.....It's not a diet or quick start....it's mostly like a detox from the weekend.....you get your protein in, water, steer clear of decaf, and you get a good bowel movement--no straining.

In fact, MOST surgeons (my surgeon did not) require a week of clear liquids after surgery and then move on to phase 2 liquids....then to pureed foods, then solids....so this is actually GREAT for any of us.

My only advice for ANYONE joining in is to take a slow K or potassium vitamin.....or have a banana in your smoothie to keep the potassium level from depleting. Also, if you feel lightheaded EAT something solid.

(Huge sigh - like the kind that our mothers would knock the fire out of us for making - remember that kind) and I'm rolling my eyes and kicking.....

Yes, I'm doing the dayum liquid Monday.... (I need to recover from what I ate over the weekend... really I do!) So yes I'm in.... protein and water all day.... now that I've had my little tantrum, I'm going to exercise a little maturity and say, "Thank you for this post and the accountability." ~smh~
