I Can't Do It Anymore

[vanilla-cupcake]

Im suppose to be on my liquid diet for another 3 days and I just cannot do it.

I am starving, I tried phoning the dietician but am not able to get speaking to her til tomorrow, the thought of ANOTHER bowl of soup just made me feel physically sick.

So I just made myself some scrambled egg and had it with a bit of brown sauce, it wasn't that nice cos I usually have some toast with it but I ate it anyway.

Have I done myself any damage and has this happened to anyone else???

I feel crappy cos I broke my diet but I was at my wits end and just couldn't cope with more soup

All I have had for almost 2 weeks now is tea and soup, thats all I can take

Aww Kate it's hard but so worth it if you can stick with it.

what sort of things are you allowed?

All im allowed is liquids, yoghurts etc but I dont like any of them, All I have been able to take is WW soups liquidised and sieved and tea, thats it for almost 2 weeks, I really cant do it anymore

I found the liquids stage of recovery more boring than watching paint dry but you have to stick at it. You are close to the end now so I dont think you have done any lasting damage at all - you would have known about it by now. Have you tried liquidising some fruit into some skimmed milk and making a milkshake? You need some variety.

Hi

Oh dear, dont get too down. You probably went for the eggs because your body is craving protein, just having tea and soup is not going to give your body what it needs. I know you have said that you dont like milkshkes ie slim fast but please try and get back in touch with the dietician and get them to advise on alternatives.

I dont want to think of you becoming ill and the more deprived you feel the more likely you are to having something you shouldnt. Hope you get it sorted and get back on track.

Carolines right Kate you have done so so well and to fall at the last hurdle is so sad, doesnt matter that you have eaten the scrambled egg, that wont do any major damage, but for the next two days try and just get through. Try What Caroline suggested with the skimmed milk at least it will be a different flavour.
I did LL a few years ago and I dont like shakes and cereal bars and hated some of the soups, so the 12 weeks lived on their chicken soup.........now if I can do it really..............you can do another two days..................you can Kate...........you can...........go for it!!!
Best of luck

oh dear erm - how about getting soup (yes I know) with bits in it - Waitrose do a smoked haddock which is to die for (!) and liquidising that to make it easier to digest? I know Im a bypasser not a bander but it worked for me! Or low cal hot chokkie or icecream or is that a really stupid idea (dont shout at me people) - put a call in to the bariatric nurse if your place has one and bypass the dietician or try leaving a message for the surgical team. You can do this -oooh - angel delight with skimmed milk, milky desserts????

I'm sure the exact amount of days you need to be on the liquid diet is just an approximation. If you're feeling up for a little bit more then I reckon you should go for it There's only three days left and it sounds like your body is telling you it wants some real food.

have pm'd you

Hi Kate
I have been on fluids for nearly 4 weeks now and its killing me, I'm counting the days til Sunday when I can try something a bit thicker. I'm only managing decaf coffee, 1 protein drink yak and a sugar free yoghurt for my tea. Don't worry you only have 2/3 days left I'm sure you can manage it, the way I look at it that there is a good reason for being on fluids for a certain amount of time, so just try a bit longer,

Take Care

I feel sorry for you hun:cry:After being on this bloody soup n jelly diet, i've really gone off soup, but know I will have to have it post op

 

[gaelic girl]

Sorry to hear you are having a horrible time i know i would really struggle on liquids only pre op i'm one of the more fortunate ones who has only to follow a low fat lo carb diet pre op. I'm sure you won't have done any real damage and you have done really well to get this far and with only a few days to go if you just be careful all should be fine xx
