I'm on my 4 th week. In 4 weeks I've lost 3 pounds. I'm 10 weeks post op. I understand your frustration. It's really discouraging. My input is: do what you're supposed to be doing and measure inches versus pounds.

To all my peeps that have surgery tomorrow: good luck and speedy recovery! I am so thankful for this group since everyone knows what I have to deal with and going through. Just took my dose of milk of magnesia , let the fun begin. Is it weird that I am not nervous and actually excited and anxious to get it done tomorrow and start the healing process?!

Guyssssssss tomorrow is surgery day !!!!!!

Just so you know, pre op diet blows.. I was stuck with a 3 week liquid diet! Thank God for my uncles restaurant and giving me chicken Soup broth and albondigas broth.. it helped me out for a couple days.. the first 3 days was so horrible.. but I fought it by going out of the house and sleeping. I am so thankful for this post. Protein shakes and Water are life right now. Good luck all on your 7/26 surgery! It is really close now!

I'm type 2 and when my sugar gets low I want to pass out all the damn time. I'm on a 3 week pre op liquid diet (6 more days to go) and I eat a bowl of cream of wheat with a dash of vanilla extract and that helps me last through the night and not make me pass out before my morning Protein shake.

Ok, so here's the pep talk I give myself when I smell something good and am tempted to cheat on liquid diet. Maybe it'll help someone else.
"Hang in there! You are sooo close. When you smell something good, get up and brush your teeth. Or smell something peppermint, lemon or whatever scent you like. Drink a bunch of things to get through it, whether its mint tea, Vitamin Water Zero, broth, etc. You can do it! Remember you will be able to eat things you love again in a couple of months, just in normal portions"
WE GOT THIS!

Trust me, it will get so much easier after the 3rd day. I'm on a 3 week one and.have 8 days left till surgery. I just walked, and slept alot.. drank Water with lemon and mint and it helped too. I wish you all the best of luck! Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

Also July 26th. It does seem like there are a lot of us. I am in the middle of my 2 week liquid diet. Mine is pretty strict and the food I had to get is awful, so I am really looking forward to surgery just to stop eating lol. Good luck to all of you!

What do you normally take when you stay in the hospital after surgery?? My last class is next Wednesday and I talked to the gentleman at my Dr office because I haven't heard back about my edg to get it done and he said he could put me on the schedule for August 26 at 8 am he said he sees my last class is next wed I said yes sir he goes well I will submit all your paperwork to your insurance and if everything goes well we will do your gastric bypass on the same day as the edg I'm so freaking stoked right now!!! Prayers and positive thoughts and vibes would be greatly appreciated

Lol yup.. but I'm sipping a Protein drink... chocolate Protein powder with a tablespoon of ovaltine mixed with almond coconut milk.. taste just like a mounds bar. I wish I can have all the horrible food, but all this is prepping me for my healthier life. And I'm super emotional.. I don't know why but hey, it feels nice to cry at stupid things lol Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

I know this may not be a big deal to some, may seem stupid to others, but the reason why I posted this is because many of my family members do not know that I had weightloss surgery, due to the fact they are very ignorant when comes to weightloss surgery. They think it's taking the easy way out without doing any research.
So that said... I'm so excited! After two weeks into my liquid diet I've gone down two bra sizes , not sure how much weight I've lost, but to me that's good sign. But I can tell I've lost weight. Last two weeks have been a struggle, but because I've seeing results of weight lose, it's been very rewarding to me.

I asked my Dr about juicing and he said it might have too much sugar. Congratulations on your weight loss.

Mine is the 27th (which is awfully close) and lemme tell you...this liquid diet is TERRIBLE. The first day was hands down the worst. On day 3 now of a two week liquid diet. I was dreading this almost as much as surgery itself. I think the liquids after surgery will be way easier.
