My liquid diet started March 15, and i decided that if i went on a half way liquid diet before hand, i could help myself out! So on March 4th, I started eating oatmeal for Breakfast, Soup for lunch and a salad for supper..I lost 5 lbs...So i guess i started weining myself off my favorite things on the 4th so that it wasnt so traumatic when i started the strict liquid only diet.

This has been by far the hardest thing i have ever done. Mentally overcoming cravings and hunger pangs is awful! Feeding three growing kids and a hard working husband is also a challenge, I refuse to go into a grocery store!

I have been told that i will fail this liquid diet so i refuse to give in. I refuse to fail!!

On top of that, my stomach is not agreeing to a life of liquid. Anything i eat (drink) instantly starts stomach cramps and diarreah. When I get to the point that the hunger makes me feel nauseous; which leaves me emotional and hungary!

Whoever told you that you would fail the liquid diet is not very supportive! Lol... Stay far away from that person!!! Our stomachs and bodies go through so much during this stage! It gets better every day! Not because it gets easier, but because it is one step closer to being over!! This is the time that you need to dig deep and find out how much you want this!!! I have faith you can do it!!! Keep coming here if you need support, we will try to help you get through this as much as we can!! Stay motivated!!

You having a reaction to the Protein Powder, milk, or whey that's causing you to cramp. You can do this. My struggle was a love hate relationship with food right now. I'm moody and realized I wasn't getting enough Protein. 5 days to go until I get my band. The first 3 days are the worst and your past that stage.

Good Luck!

I was on a 2 week liquid diet and it was very hard especially the first 3 days. I had to cook meals for my husband and 3 teenage sons too. I stayed busy and I kept telling myself that its very worth all the hunger and cramps and it was the last diet I would ever be on. With each day it did get easier. YOU can do this. Good Luck!

Today is day 2 of my liquid diet. I feel so emotional. Thank goodness no one tells me I can't do it. As a matter of fact my sister is so supportive she is doing the liquid diet with me. I keep thinking 12 more days till I'm banded.

I can say I'm not really starving I just feel so drained. I know if I can't do it for two weeks how can I change my life and eat right.

Tomorrow I have a wedding to go to this should be interesting. I'm not sure if I can tackle staying away from food around others. I will also start to cook tomorrow TESTS lol

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
