With the liquid diet is anyone working out or all of this weight loss is due to all liquids?

Ohhhh ok

Cool I'm going to walmart

What is Ultima? And where can i buy some? I saw the liquid iv but it had too much sugar

Starlight you only have 1 week of liquid, im just asking because my surgery is on the 13th and I started my liquid diet yesterday

So much great information on here, I cannot wait to read about our journeys after surgery

Good morning all, Thanks Maris never thought about bringing a hospital bag that's a good idea. I already have my must haves for home vitamins chewable etc. Off to walmart I go today.

This is why I love this group, thank you so much for the encouragement I really really appreciate it!!!!

That's how I was actually feeling my last appointment before my surgery is on June 7th 6 days before my surgery when are they going to tell me to start my liquid diet so go for it yourself count out them 14 days and do it yourself that's what I'm doing this is why mines is going to start tomorrow because they didn't give me a date to start I'm just starting it on my own

For real for real I'm really nervous because my liquid diet starts tomorrow and that's what I'm so afraid of but I have everything that I need and I just pray to God that I can stick with it for 2 weeks

Oh no it's not only you I'm so excited and scared all at the same time because I literally have 15 more days left and I am ready I have everything that I need to start my process when I come home

Mines started October 28

Mines is on the 13th of June

Congratulations, keep up the great work, I start my real liquid drinks Monday, I'm excited to start counting down

Starting on the 29 of May I'm allowed 4 ozs of protein 2 cups of non starchy veggies and 2 protein shakes and all the water I want and second week all liquids, I just started last Monday to get acquainted with it and I'm doing good but this week I gave no choice but to follow it to the T I'm 16 days away from my sleeve

It's weird how we all are going to have some type of surgery dealing with bariatric but we also all have different variations of two weeks prior to surgery which is weird you would think it would be Unison right across the board but it's not

Congratulations to all we on this count downnnnnn I'm so excited!!!

That's amazing, I guess it's just nerve racking, because there is no way to determine if your liver has shrimp you can't feel it you can't see it unless they do I guess a CT scan or something like that so it's like how do you know?

Thank you, the closer I get the more nervous I feel, my sleeve is on the 13th

Congratulations thats my birthday

Safe travels to you and we all will be sending prayers as you approach your journey.

Oh and I also wanted to say thanks to everyone for being my support because other than that I have zero support from where I'm at and it just feels so good to bariatric Pals to talk to is so cool I'm loving all the comments and the feedbacks and the positivity thank you all so much

Good morning to all, I am on my third day, I just happened to start mines 3 weeks earlier than my surgery so this is my test week but so far so good, it's been hard it's been testing and trying I cheated yesterday just a Teensy winsy bit but I'm back on it this morning and I have to be determined like when they told me I had to stop smoking after smoking for years, I just cold turkey quit so I guess I'm going to have to do the same thing with this liquid stuff. Again good luck to all.

I understand my patience have grown so thin again I don't know why my surgery out of all of the people in my group ended up being 2 months outside of my last module I really felt like I was being tested so I have as of today 19 days left before my surgery. I wish mines was on the 1st , stay strong to everyone and don't give up. We can motivate each other daily.

I totally totally understand exactly what you're talking about mine's is two protein shakes 3 to 4 oz of protein two cheese sticks and plenty of water I'm doing that 2 weeks before my surgery and then a week before my surgery all liquid I started 2 days ago 3 weeks out because I needed to try myself to see if I can do this and it has been the hardest thing I have ever had to do my stomach growling I just been trying to just eat the Popsicles I've only been able to eat the meat in the green beans and it is hard it's a mental thing and today I did fail that's why I started early just to see my mental state of mind but it is hard but don't give up because you have waited so long to go through this and wait for your surgery cuz you don't want to get there and you stay up under longer than normal because your liver hasn't shrunk I'm not sure of what doctor is not requiring anyone to not go through this liquid diet. I googled why it was important to do it. I will get back on track today and stick with it until June 13th thats my day of the my sleeve. Don't give up!!!!!!
