Just Started Liquids Today And Caved W Food!
It's ok. Just start over tomorrow and remember that you are doing this to make surgery more safe for you. I think my fab thing on my pre op diet was blended canned soups and I would strain the chunks out.

Getting Sleeved On 3/19/12 And Getting Anxious!
Hello All, I'm Jenny and I'm 24 years old & at the beginning of the journey I started out at 250lbs and I have been on pre op diet for 7 days and I have 7 more days to go but the good news is that I am DOWN 9lbs. SOOO Excited! It's crazy that that is how I have to do lose weight by starving myself, but all in all I'm loving it. I'm very excited baout the surgery, but at the same time with it only being 1 week away I am getting very anxious! I have thought about it for a long time and have tried every diet you can imagine and some worked but as soon as I slip up all the weight that I lose comes right back. IT'S A LOSING BATTLE, that I want to start winning!!!! I have been overweight since a kid and i'm just tired of being the "fat person" and my husband and I want to start having kids in 2 years and I have got to do something before that b/c I want to have HEALTHY BABIES!!! Most of my family has been supportive, but some have not and think I should do it the old fashion way, which I've tried and tried and tried. So I basically told the non-supporting people to save their breaths b/c I'm having this done and NOTHING or NO ONE PERSON will change my mind. I am ready for a CHANGE! I also want to do this and make it look very easy so even though I'm telling my husband how EASY(lie) the liquid diet is....I am soooooooo lying b/c my plan is to have this done and make it look easy b/c I want him to do it. That's right I'm going to trick my husband into surgery but it is only b/c I want him to lose weight and feel good too. STARTING STATS: 24 years old 5'5 Starting weight 250lbs 1 week after liquid diet 241.6 - 7 more days to go I will update as much as possible and add a pic soon. I'm really excited about this site b/c if it was not for all the you tube videos and seeing how well some of the people did then I probably would not be doing this now. If I encourage one person to do this then that is my goal! TTYL JennyG1987fw
