My dr. Gave me a range between 140 and 160. I am 5'8" I would be thrilled at 175 even. So hard to imagine!!! I have been as heavy as 380 and when I started this I was 337.8. This morning 10 days onto a liquid diet I am already down to 322.8. I can't wait to meet me.

good luck!!! The diet has been the hardest part so far!!! Plus side, I lost 14 pounds in a week.... I guess it's kinda worth it, but sucks all the same!!!

See if you can have sugar free Popsicles at all or beef/chicken broth. I got bullion cubes and they say they have 0 cals. Also, I asked if I could blend my Protein with ice and they told me it was ok. Makes it seem more filling and crunching on the ice makes it feel like I am actually eating. Also, I have been adding flavoring extracts to my shakes. You can find them in the baking aisle at Walmart by the spices. Lots of flavors... banana, almond, cherry... They are calorie free.

It's awful. :-/ day 3-5 were the worst for me. I actually cried. Day 5 was my wedding anniversary. I didn't think I would mourn the loss of food, but I totally did.

I am on a two week liquid diet and I am barely getting 1000 cals. It has been terrible. I feel exhausted and starving all the time. I cheated once on day 7 but felt so guilty!!!

My surgery is scheduled for next Thursday. My Dr. Required me a two week liquid diet. I have been on 3 protein shakes a day since last week thursday. It has been AWFUL.
