I am trying to "practice" my liquid diet since i dont think i am going to be able to do it ... i am terrifyied of the preop...

I hate the shakes... any suggestions as to better tasting or making it taste better. today is my second day and i was so hungry! =-(

My wife tried the slim fast drinks. She said there gross. I use EAS advantcarb and Promasil Protein shakes. Find a shake that you can handle first. Another thing is Soups will help. Like Tomato basil and cream Soup. And dont forget about the 3 days of clears. For clears I did chinese takeout soups and I tried Isopure but thats gross. After surgery water' date='apple juice,crystal lite was the main things but SF popcicles was my savior.

The main thing is how much to you enjoy food? After this is done everything changes. My mind changed for sure. I use to enjoy eating out and trying out new things now its just sucks. I can make a health concious salad eating woman go mad on the amount of food I eat compared to them. 3 forks and done. Makes them feel like they are pigging out lol.

I say do it for weightloss. Food isnt a nessesity in my book anymore. But remember there will be a trade off. Your gonna trade food for something else. In my case fishing thank god.

Just think I am 5'9" and 267 right now. I already lost 63lbs in 2 months and I did my surgery in Mexico with no complications to report other than a rash that came and gone @ 1 month out "I dont know if it was related or not, doc said it was just contact dermititus".

Goodluck on your venture. Nikes logo is "Just do it" <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote']

Do u know which slim fast she likes best? Also for the soups ... Is that canned or home made? I went groceries shopping with the list of 1200 cal and it was not easy . I started to feel anxious about the new way of eating and my old habits. My kids are saying the will do it with me -give up the bad stuff- husband is not very supportive. ;( won't even touch the subject.

I am trying to get the surgery in june, hopefully I'll be able to get thru the liquid diet pre op... I am terrified. I am trying to do the 5 sleam fast drinks and the small meal... i dont know if i can do this . people's lack of confidence and support. people think i dont have it straight and i should go to the nutritionist and i will loose weight. my daughters are my only support. I am 5'10' 270 lbs as of today and 40 years old I want to loose at least 100 for sure. i is so disapoining, but i am going ahead with the plan...

I finally decided to go ahead with this surgery in June. My husband had the lapband and kept on eating as usual , as expected he is not supporting me with this decision. Others tell me I should try other ways to loose weight. I am so mad and I am afraid that I will feel the way are feeling. I question my self , I know this is my choice and my health. I have seen all the great outcomes and I am scared and excited. I keep thinking that it is such a short face, compare to the lifetime of rewards. It is worth it! ????

I'm seriously so nervous! I have to do a 2 week diet of Protein shakes' date=' broth, sf Popsicles and sf Jello. I've never been good at dieting (duh! Or I wouldn't be here) and I'm so afraid of screwing up. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote']
