  1. I did the liquid diet on my own. Let me tell u the first 2 days are the hardest!!! You realize how much u actually think of and want food! By day 3 I was much better. Not as hungry. I'd have a shake for bfast (730). Lunch (12) and supper (5). If I got hungry in between I drank lots of water s(sometimes with crystal light)
  2. I did protein shakes 3x a day and water for 2 weeks.. Lost 20lbs. Don't know if it was the healthiest way but it worked !
  3. I'm doing 2 oz water and 2 oz protein shake every hr awake.... So I'm guessing about 18-20 oz of each ????
  4. Hopefully!! I've read that it's hard to judge when/if ur full since its only liquid intake!
  5. Only 4 days po.. I feel hungry. Is that normal. All I'm having is 2oz water and 2 oz protein shake every hr.
  6. Had surgery Monday and I'm have some pretty severe bubble guts. I can constantly hear/feel my insides moving. Anyone else?

  12. PLease tell me what you're having in a days time. Doc isn't requiring one but I want to do it. Please share your tips.
  13. Thanks for the info!! But my actual question is can they tell if you have the hernia just from blood work?? That's all I've has plus my gall bladder scan ... And it's strange I've never had heart Burn or reflux
  14. My favorite is...."she has a pretty face" :-/
  15. My date is 9/24. I've already done my reg for hospital and all my blood work. Doc called and said I have gallstones and will remove my gallbladder. He also said I have a hiatal hernia... I thought you would only know that once inside?? Anyone else have these things fixed/removed?
  16. Haven't had mine yet but my doc said my weight loss was to be over an 18 mo period. I'm later so it will come off faster say someone that only needs to loose 60 lbs unlike me 100+. Therefore if I loose like I'm supposed to that's 9 lbs a month!
  17. Yet curious of the ppl in the 300 lb range age 21-27. What has been your progress? How much weight did you loose in what amount of time? Ex. 60lbs in 3 months. And how is your skin is far??
  18. I was meaning bra wise. I'm a 46 h.
  19. M self pay and have no 2 week liqui diet. Anyone else?
  20. M self pay and have no 2 week liqui diet. Anyone else?
  21. My surgery is the 10 also!! I just got through with my gallbladder ultrasound and registering at the hospital!!! Next step is the big day!!!!!!!!! :-)
  22. I have united health care and it's not covered
  23. If you had this, do you have to fast before it I can't remember??
  24. My doc said you have about 28 mos to loose the weight so he told me about 9 lbs a mo!!! I thought that was crazy but makes since!
