Wow 22 is Awesome!! I know it shrinks the liver but it makes things much better knowing you're losing weight during this thing too! ; )

Have you started the diet yet? I haven't heard so far of that happening. I think your liver def shrinks if you're doing the said diet.

That's awesome!!! Good luck with yours also!

I just got weighed at my last pre-op Appt. I'm down 10 pounds since I started this diet last Thursday. I still have 5 days left on this diet until my surgery. Is 10 pounds good? I feel it's good but not sure. How much have you lost on yours?

Kyle, how's it going?

Try papaya tablets

Mine is the 18th and I'll be half way through tomorrow with the diet. Those that have been on it a few days, do you feel like you've lost any weight? I can't tell... getting in between 640-700 calories on this diet. I told my sleeve buddy how much I've been daydreaming about the puréed phase lol.

I'm sorry to hear that. But you can't give up now. If you did, all you've done so far would be for nothing. It's a struggle but you can see the light at the end. Kudos for acknowledging you may need a therapist and actually seeing one! Good job! What were your pre-op requirements?

Do you mind elaborating on the emotional issues that come with massive weight loss? I get sleeved July 18.

The Wendy's chili is good! I plan on adding that to my meal plans when I'm able to eat solids.

Great job!! I'm like the person above... I just want to get through the pre-op. I have 2 weeks of dieting. I'm on day 4. Surgery next tues the 18th... goals afterward: 100+ weight loss, put my shoes on without struggling, lotion my feet good, cross my legs, have more energy, fit my clothes better, not have to pay more or go to select stores for clothes, rid of sleep apnea... whew! : )

I wish I could have 1 meal be meat and veggies! : (

LOL!!!!! I understand completely! I can't have food at all other than yogurt but the sf popsicles and the ff broth is a liquid which should be on your list. Double check with your pa on mon... I bet he/she will approve. Matter of fact, buy some broth and try that. Bet it takes your mind off of the meat... momentarily lol. I really like the Premier! The caramel is my fav! I also like the banana and strawberry. Don't like the vanilla and didn't try the choc. How many shakes are you on a day? 3 like me?

Try sipping them really slow. I take about 20-30 min to drink one

What shakes are you on? I'm on Day 3 today and I'm feeling tired and weak but my shakes are pretty good! I also found that the chicken broth makes me feel full as if I ate a meal... makes me think I ate chicken noodle soup! Lol

Thank you! I thought something was wrong! I also have a slight headache.

Weak and tired. Anyone else feel this way on their liquid preop diet?

Good luck to you all!!

Yes the yogurt is the only thing however i stop the shakes a few days before and switch to clear liquids : (

My surgery date is the 18th... I can only do shakes and 2 yogurts... no jello, no nothing : ( Thanks for the encouragement!! I can already see the agitation soon to set in

Any words of encouragement? I'm hungry... I wasn't ready!

160 is great!! I have twins too : ) they're 3

Did the woman who had the surgery have a bad experience? I see many are going to Mexico. Why Mexico?

You are SO right! I will definitely try and get my thoughts together on it.

My arms are already hanging from the fat! Smh I don't want my stomach down to my knees lol
