My doctor said he didn't recommend it because you can potentially harm the organs in that region

Congrats !!! My surgery is next week, I'll be sharing pics too once I've lost some weight God Bless.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. My surgery is next week and I'm so nervous and excited. I hope to be as successful as you! God bless!

Today is my 3rd day, I felt really weak throughout the day, I'm hoping tomorrow will be better. I'm not even hungry, just very very tired. How are you feeling? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I can only imagine what you're going through. Food is also a big part of my life, however, I started going to Yoga, Reiki and Meditation sessions and I have been feeling so much better. My mood is much better too and I have more patience at home and work. You're not alone. Message me if you ever feel like talking to somebody. God bless ya!

Best of luck to you ladies, you will be in my prayers. My surgery date is on the 21st of this month and I'm on my 2nd day of the liquid diet. All of your posts are what's keeping me motivated during these days. God bless ya!

You got this! Don't feel discouraged, it is hard to lose weight on our own. Have faith that you will be able to start making better food and portion choices. You can do this girl!!!

I start my liquid diet on Saturday for 12 days. Here to support because I need it as well Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App Thanks!! Today I woke up feeling a bit lightheaded, I'm assuming it's normal since I didn't eat yesterday. Had a hard time drinking all 5 shakes, only drank 4. Today I'll try to get in the 5th one too.

Because it's fibrous and hard to digest, my nurse told me also to stay away from it.

That's awesome! I'm on my 2 week pre op diet and feel like quitting :/ Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Best of luck! Keep us updated with your progress. God bless ya! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Your diet is so much better than mine. Mine consists of 5 Protein shakes, sf Jello and sf pops, for 2 weeks :/ Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I'm thinking of taking 2 weeks. I have a friend who went back after a week and she's doing great, but I'd like a little more time to heal. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I'm allowed to have 5 Protein shakes, sf Jello and sf pops. I'm on day 1 and totally hating it. My only hope is that time will pass and I will soon start dropping all this weight Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I felt the same way for a very long time. I started gaining weight after my baby was born, I now weigh 30 lbs more than I did at my highest during pregnancy. I tried everything I could think of, even hiring a personal trainer. After a year of trying everything I could think of and seeing no results but instead gaining more weight and feeling miserable I decided to have the surgery. At first I felt like a failure, but I realized that the only failure would be worrying what others think. I know I tried and at this point I don't care how I lose the weight as long as I lose it. I hate seeing myself in the mirror, I have very few clothes that fit and I look horrible in them. I don't care what anybody thinks, I'm doing this for me so I can continue living my life.

I'm hiding in my office at home, lights off, I'm super hungry and tired. Why do you feel that way?

I feel the same way, although I have more time to go. I'm sure its natural to have doubts about taking this huge step, however, I picture a better me, with more energy and self confidence. I'm sure I'll be a better wife and mom, AND I'll feel better about myself. So, why the hell not/?? lol Good luck and God bless ya!

Only a letter!! That's awesome, my insurance required 6 months of visits with a dietician, clearances from psyc, GI, pulmonologist, cardiologist, blood work, ekg, chest xray ... My surgery is scheduled for 7-21 and I started my liquid diet today. Best of luck! God bless ya!

Congratulations!! I hope to have the same enthusiasm when I come out of mine lol God bless

Hi there, I'm also having surgery in 2 weeks. I started my liquid diet today and feel very anxious about it. How is yours going?

I'm scheduled for 7-21 !! I'm beyond excited, I started the process on January. Today is my first day on my 2 week liquid diet and I found this place online because I'm looking for support.

We'll be having surgery the same day !!! I started my pre op liquid diet today. I have to do it for 2 weeks, I actually just found this forum. God knows I need all the support I can get :/
