  1. The mistake I made in my first couple of days was that I was just drinking the shakes it is a must to drink water water water water water! It helps keep you fall between shakes
  2. A test run would just prepare you for what is in store. I was just curious to see what the liquid diet would feel like. But the first couple of days are the hardest so doing that one day will be hard but at least you know it eventually becomes okay.., I think back to the day that I did my test run which is seven days ago and I Would do it again just so that I know what the different shakes taste like.
  3. It is going to be emotional but this year is going to be a happy time! Love you girl
  4. Awwww... Thank you for this list It is very special!! And yes we all are special to start our new journey on the skinnier side
  5. Buy Human hair.. Lol Using talk to text doesn't help all the time
  6. Maybe clip in hair extensions would work. I Use them all the time And it's convenient and easy to use. And also gives you versatility if you want to also you don't have to worry about damaging it because it is a weave. Make sure that you bye human here from a local black beauty Supply store
  7. That's awesome... I meet with my surgeon on June 10th day before surgery... I hope I get the same reassurance as u did
  8. Thank you... I'm currently in the preop liquid diet phase.., and omg I am hating it but focused
  9. Congratulations!!!! you look awesome and amazing and fabulous. you're an inspiration to me right now... I'm Going to be sleeved on June 11th
  10. Im on day 3 of 14 and this ish is hard.., Come on guys we can do this... I hope I honestly lose the 10lbs before June 11
  11. My surgeon said a cup of decaf is fine
  12. I am nervous too and I don't get my surgery until June 11. Every surgeon is different. My surgeon does the more complicated ones first so In my case being last is better. But the nerves are to be expected.
  13. Yes I totally agree... I'm on day two of full liquid diet and any free time in my brain I'm thinking of food.. I didn't realize how much food is on my mind. I just drink a whole lot of water or a grab a SF jello or SF ice pop.. Unless its shake time.. Lol
  14. Yup a 2 weeker! It's hardest the first day and seems to b getting a little easier. On day 2
  15. Lean shakes from GNC 25 grams of protein and 200cal... They taste good better than unjury. I have both and the French vanilla and chocolate peanut butter both taste good:) Im Mad that I have 5 containers of unjury .., I guess I will drink them but definitely don't buy a lot any of them. How long are u gonna b on the liquid pre- op?
  16. Day 1 and 14 to go!Yes it is so difficult!!! I did ok but I feel ur pain.. Lol... I thought like I was starving and then I Just had a protein shake with the Jell-O. Everybody keeps saying that it gets easier I hope so because this $&@) is for the birds. Lol.. We can do this focus everyone focus!
  17. Yup I start my liquid diet today... Excited knowing i can do it!!! It's definitely a mental challenge. I've done a protein shake diet on my own a little while ago. And was easy especially seeing the weight come off so quickly. I ended losing 60lbs in 4 months but knowing that mu surgeon may say no on surgery date if I don't lose 10lbs is motivation enough to say I will do it. I'm even giving myself a challenge to surpass her expectations and lose 20lbs so now I know I can and will do it!!!
  18. Get sugar free jello, Popsicles, fat free chicken broth. ( you can have as much as u like) and make some lemon water. GNC has lean shakes tastes pretty good and they fill u up;) you can do it! Remember all the hard work you put in this far:)
  19. Good luck! We will do great!
