I had surgery on 10/11 down a little over 16lbs since surgery. Scale hasn't moved since my 2 week post op appointment. It is starting to annoy me a little. I figure it is my liquid intake. I am going to try today to do better and try to get at least 64oz in.

I am about a week into it. I have had a few stumbles but after about 4-5 days you get used to it. Anytime you get a craving drink plenty of water or non-caloric beverage. Popsicles help too. Good luck!!!

I cheated a little today and yesterday. My surgery is on October 11 so I still have over a week. I am not cheating any longer because 1. I want to lose more weight (lost about 10lbs on pre-op diet so far) and 2. I don't want the surgeon to have issues with seeing when he opens me up.

Had a 6 month program but because I didn't follow it like I should only lost like 20lbs. I am 3 days in my 2 week clear liquid diet and I have already lost about 5lbs.

Jello came out great!!!! Actually I used my blender bottle to mix the cold water and a half a scoop of protein powder no weird taste of anything.

Thanks for the recommendations. I am having surgery October 11 and I plan to get myself ready next week. Right now I am just trying to get through this first week of clear liquid dieting.

I am also in Phoenix, however, I am going through Banner Estrella Weight loss. My surgeon is Dr. Emil Graf. I really like the office and my surgeon. Surgery is Oct. 11....can't weight.

So...I added unflavored protein powder to jello I made the other day. It didn't turn out that hot, doesn't taste bad just didn't dissolve and left clumps and a sludge at the bottom of the bowl. A friend of mine who also had sleeve told me to try adding the protein powder to the cold Water because the powder gets a weird consistency with water over 140 degrees. Tried that tonight...so far so good. I will know in the morning if my jello turned out perfect.

I'll admit that I did take a bite of my daughter's chicken, chewed it up and spit it out. Never swallowed it! Does it count as cheating? Even after doing that I felt guilty. So I doubt I will do that again. Found a few more recipes for soup/broth so will try those to help with the desire to have something savory.

Don't worry! Now that I'm a few days in I am slowly feeling better and so will you. Just keep reminding yourself why you're doing this! eriirosee Yeah that is what I keep telling myself. Plus I want to lose a good 20lbs during this liquid diet. I know it can be done so that is my goal. lol

I am only 2 days into to this 2 week liquid diet and I want food soon bad. I have to cook my daughter some dinner shortly and I want so bad to eat what she is having.

The process will go very fast. My insurance required 6 months medically supervised weight loss. I will be having surgery in two weeks. Time flew by. As far as telling people, stick with the support system you already have. No need to cause extra stress from outsiders.

October 11!!!!
