Amazing transformation in such short period of time!! ????????

Jello is my best friend right now lol.. the only thing I'm able to tolerate ugh!!

I sure needed this...

My surgery was also yesterday and wanted to let me go home the same day but I requested another day because I'm still in pain and I want to be in good hands. But I get to go home today also around noonish.

Congratulations!!

Good Luck Radar

How is it that you walk 10,000 miles a day??? That's impossible.. haha

Good question, no one here ever mentions gum. And honestly I have no idea but I will ask at my pre-op appointment on Monday.

Good Luck everyone!!

My sister has lost alot of weight doing that but she holds the honey. Give it a try.

Good Luck wih your Surgery!! ???? Good Luck!!

Wow!! These kind of posts ENCOURAGE me even more to follow through this amazing journey.. Congratulations, you are extremely inspiring!!????

I am also on the 21st and started my pre-op 5 days ago, tough but possible.. congrats to all of you on this journey!!

Mine is on the 21st. I'm also SUPER EXCITING!! My 1st 3 days of pre-op were very difficult and I cheated. But It's been alot easier after that. I'm also determined to succeed in this journey. Good luck!!

How are you doing it? I'm having such a hard time sticking to my pre-op liquid diet and I'm extremely worried I won't loose but gain weight because my brain is freaking out and making me hungrier and I'm eat what I'm not supposed to. In the morning I'm ok and having my Protein shake but then I start getting hungry for real food and I begin to eat. Any suggestions??Hang in there! Just keep telling yourself that it is only 2 weeks and you can do this for just two weeks or break it down into a day at a time. I just have to make it through today... then repeat gain tomorrow. Are you getting enough protein? I am using the Premier Protein shakes and that seems to help a lot. The first couple of days are the hardest usually as your body gets used to it. Your head is another matter - no tv because of all the food commercials, no thinking (or obsessing as I believe a more appropriate term for a lot of us) about food and if your thoughts go there, do something active with your mind to keep it busy (crosswords, solitaire, reading an exciting book, reading blogs to see that you are not alone and you CAN DO THIS!). I keep telling myself that I don't want to contribute in any way shape or form to my doctor having to do an open surgery vs, laproscopic because my liver is too big if I don't follow the liquid diet as this will cause a much more painful surgery and longer recovery time. So I am looking at that as a bigger concern than wanting to eat something I shouldn't for those two weeks. Thanks!! I'm drinking the Biatric Protein and Whey Protiene Isolate, beef or chicken broth, sugsr free Jello, Water and propel water, Gatorade. So far today I've been doing good. Maybe I should go to bed early before I begin to get hungry. Maybe I'll have some chicken broth in a couple of hours and make it my last meal. I appreciate your input. sorry for the typos. I'm texting in a hurry.

Congratulations on your successful surgery!! I'm barely on my pre-op liquid diet. Sorry I can't help with food suggestions but I'm certain there are many people out here that can assist you in that. God Bless!!

I'm so happy all went well for you.. I'm having such a hard time with my pre-op and haven't been able to stick to it. I was supposed to start it two days ago but keep falling to temptation of food. It's like my brain is freaking out and I'm hungrier than ever. Hope I stick to it as of today.

How did surgery go?? Keep us posted!! God Bless..

How has recovery been since your surgery?? Hope all is well. Keep us posted!!
