These first few weeks have been rough for me, not as bad as some but definitely not a cake walk. The first 3-4 days I still battled nausea, the anti-nausea helped but only very little. I realized it was very difficult to get down my liquids and protein, it helped if I got the bulk in between 15-20 mins and about an hour and a half after taking my ( Read more... )

Ok so having surgery is not anyone's favorite thing and for good reason lol. I have been out of the hospital for just over a full day at this point ( Read more... )

The longer I am on this diet the hungrier I get. It has been its worst since going off the cottage cheese, but that's to be expected. Tomorrow is the last weigh in for me, and in the morning I put on my anti nausea patch. Still not too nervous and I'm going to try not to be, it just serves no purpose :) I still want eggs and toast with a passion, ( Read more... )

Well 3 days left until the surgery, I am on shakes, milk, and water each day. Brad and I both want real food so bad it's ridiculous, I want eggs and toast and he wants a meatball sub. His diet changes to the puree stage day after tomorrow, he is a bit excited about that but 23 days into this liquid diet we are both ready to chew lol ( Read more... )

Yup I skipped yesterday, not much new diet wise to report, still pretty leveled out. Today Both Brad's and my stomach started grumbling a lot but other than a lot of noise nothing has changed. Brad does seem to be getting hungry on his shake and milk only diet, he was talking about a bunch of different foods today lol ( Read more... )

Since I am writing this post now I probably will not be writing another one tonight. Something I didn't take into account for timing this liquid diet is the way my stupid ass period makes me feel; hungry, cranky, tired, hungry, fat, bloated, and did I mention HUNGRY!? One serving of shake or cottage cheese still fills me up but between "meals" I ( Read more... )

We have been oddly lucky about a few things so far, like in a previous post when Brad and I found out about the 3 shake limit just before we had a 4th shake for the day. Two more recent examples: Brad asked the dietician if Aleve was fine to take for pain during the 10 day diet, she said yes and he took some, then (next day or 2) the registration ( Read more... )

Day 6 everything is still pretty leveled off, Brad missed eating lunch on time and got pretty hungry but says his energy level was pretty high today. I'm just dealing with my hormonal flux, I was hoping the liquid diet would help me not break out so much, no such luck. I have a huge zit on my chin that has so many heads I have named it hydra, being ( Read more... )

So these numbers are a little misleading, Brad started his diet a day before he needed too so even though this is a 10 day diet he. Will be on it for 11 days therefore tonight does not mark the halfway point but tomorrow night will ( Read more... )

A little better each day, very little hunger to deal with and never before I was "scheduled" to have something. Still venerable to stimulus (just wanted it to sound science-y). I think Brad wanted to smack a child that was in the dentist waiting room with him with a crunch wrap from taco bell, and we both stared longingly at an empty pizza box a ( Read more... )
