My doctor said stick to the Protein Shakes and Water and then broth, decaffeinated tea or coffee the day before surgery. So I am going to do what he says. I don't want to f@#k up my success with the surgery. [emoji15]

Jan,
You are so brave. I am only into day 4 of my liquid diet and I am ready to cook the air.😂
I could only wish that I could have Soup right now. Keep us posted as to how you are feeling later on.

You're not alone. I swear on day 3 or 4 I had a dream that I found a box of Cheez-it's and ate some. I woke up all "oh no I ate a Cheez-it!!!" for that first few seconds until I realized it was a dream. I'm so sorry you're on Soups at 3 weeks out. I'm counting the freaking days till 14 to get to eggs and tuna etc. My post op says I can have pureed meats at that point too, but I might go slowly on those. We'll see. I'm craving ground beef or ground chicken so badly.

Are you allowed creamy soups? Try blending a baked potato Soup?

Don't worry. Your swelling has gone down and so liquids go down easy! Perfectly normal. Liquids won't stretch your pouch unless you're slamming them to the point of pain.

I am 10 days post op and healing well. I've had an overall positive experience.
I am however really freaked out that I just drank about 10oz in 10 minutes. I wasn't paying attention and next thing I knew, it is was gone. I hope that I have restriction! I also hope I didn't harm myself. I have no discomfort whatsoever.
Has anyone experienced this?

Happy Friday Eve Everyone,
Day 4 of the liquid Diet
I made it through another day of Protein Shakes and water😞
I would love to get a hold of some chicken or beef broth....Wait I wouldn't turn down veggie broth either..............
But I can't have that until Sunday (Clear Diet day)... I've been checking out a few websites like Amazon and here on Bariatric Pal, for food items geared for special folks like us. I will probably make a purchase of some of the Soup items, so I can have some variety after the next few weeks.
I have noticed that my sandals are a bit loose from last year. I guess with will power and determination, the whole WLS thing will come together. And then I can submit my before and after pictures like everyone else.
Anywho............Keep the faith everyone.....We CAN and WILL do this JuneBunch
btw, I got on the scale today and I am finally at (drumroll.........) 219😲
Alright, I know it may not in Onederland, but I will take it. Even though the doctor's scales have a 5-10 pound variance, I will take the 219. Ain't seen 219 since 2008. ☺️
Come on June 3rd.

Man, that Chicken Protein Soup sounds like a steak dinner right now.
Especially when you have been on nothing but Protein Shakes all week.🙄

As far as Vitamins goes, we were instructed to get the patch for first month and then after that we can pretty much choose which Vitamin product we want. I will try the patch the first month and if I like it I will probably stick with them for a while.

I'm 7 days post op & I just ate 2 oz of cottage cheese. *side eyes myself* Except it went down just fine & I'm going to punch myself in the face & throw up if I have to eat another sip of Soup. Am I the only one who's cheated post op & should I expect to die in an hour or two? (kidding) I'm not even craving bad things, I just cannot take soup or Protein Shakes. CANNOT.

ARMoma45,
We will rightfully claim you as our own. Get ready it's going to be a long ride. But we will have each other's back🤗

Batty!!!😫
Now I really feel deprived. But it's all good though...😏
My Days since Monday are as follows:
Morning
Protein shake
Lunch
Protein shake
Dinner
Protein Shake
And if I get real creative I throw in at least 64oz of Water between shakes.< span class="ipsEmoji">😪

Happy Humpday Everyone,
Well it is Day 3 on the liquid diet. And boy I wish I could cook anything right now including the air.
Today has been extremely hard since not eating anything since Sunday😞
It's a good thing, I am strong minded/willed because if I wasn't I would've grabbed the first thing appetizing and ATE IT!!!! But has helped me through today and probably the rest of the week are the lovely people in this forum. I am reading about the ups and downs and then looking at the before and after pictures, and it is giving me hope and encouragement to soldier on.
Monday is coming and quickly. I can't wait for it to come and go. I am getting very nervous and my mind is playing all the scenarios of what could go wrong...😏
But Rome Wasn't Built In A Day!!!🙄

Happy Tuesday JuneBunch,
Well today is Day 2 of liquid diet. I am so proud of myself..... I haven't climbed the walls, yet.
I am going to try and get my hands on a few Premier shakes (flavor caramel). I am thinking mixing the caramel with the chocolate could be something AMAZING!!!
I noticed towards the end of the day, I was suffering from dry mouth but that is the least of my worries.
I meet with the anesthesiology dept this morning to go over do's and don'ts for the new few days.
JuneBunch, if I can do this (well it's still just 2 days in), then you all can do it too. (See how I threw that pep talk in there?)😆

Bullet,
If you really want to go through with the surgery then you will do whatever it takes.
I wanted to watch QVC this evening but turned to another channel. My favorite host, David Venable was on..... And the show had food products on it.😕 I didn't want to further torture/temp myself. I keep coming back to the forum for support and encouragement...... And you gals/guys are AWESOME. With the JuneBunch, I can get through this. Fingers crossed.✌️

Just stay out of the kitchen, my friend. Not worth it!

Day 1 of full liquids. It's been hard. I had 4 Protein Shakes and a cup of Miso Soup broth. right at 700 calories. I don't feel super hungry but I want to eat. Just drinking Water right now

This is the part I'm dreading. I'm a night eater. I eat most of my carbs and stuff at night and I'm terrified I'm going to mess up when I have to start my liquid diet next Wednesday. Ugh.

Purplediva! I'm with you, sister. The liquid diet hasn't been too bad, but the nights are terrible. The urge to snack surprised me.
