SMBFLORIDA got a reaction from Tamika in Am I losing enough weight?
My Bypass was on April 6th. Prior to surgery I lost 15lbs on the liquid diet, when I got out of hospital I weighed and, I guess due to Water & swelling, I weight exactly what I did before the liquid diet. Since that day I have lost 30lbs. (this includes the 15 prior to surgery).
So, basically, 3 weeks 15lbs... or 30lbs, however you look at it. It doesn't seem like enough! Thoughts?

SMBFLORIDA got a reaction from midnite_angel in Help liquid diet
Thanks midnight_angel. I've had the same feelings of fear today, as the time draws near. But I know I can't back out now. We chose to do this for many reasons and it's going to be life changing. Reading the success stories of post-op people on here is helpful. Good luck to you!!

SMBFLORIDA got a reaction from bls01 in Help liquid diet
I'm on 11th day liquid diet now, surgery is on Monday. This has been SO difficult!! And my Dr. doesn't allow broth. Only Optifast, Water, crystal light, Decaf herbal tea and SF Jello. That is it! I ended up getting the Numi Savory Teas, and had one of the broccoli cilantro day 2 and 3.
After day 4 it was much easier. Day 5 I felt great and had energy... After day 6 I've had a hard time drinking the 5th shake. But, don't get me wrong... during the day I am hungry! But I just keep thinking 'I can do this for one more day', then just one more, etc... One day at a time & Eye on the prize! (and I'm down 15 lbs, so that helps keep me motivated!)
Good luck to all! Prayers for Monday are appreciated!
