Starting My 9 Day Liquid Diet Monday 6/18



Recommended Posts

Im a lil nervous now. It is on. I'm excited but the support of my family is lacking. Their negativity is starting to wear on me. Idk if this has happened to anybody else who went through this, any advise would be appreciated. I feel like I can't lean on anyone for support. I know I'm better off having the surgery than not. I'll be healthier. But y can't my family see that? I guess I just needed to let that out.

Well 9 days here we come. I have come this far nothing is going to stop me now!

Praying for you hun, I'm sure it will all go well. Some people just don't understand what you're going through, but you've got the support you need right here :-))

Good luck. I found the pre-op diet one of the hardest parts of going through this. I was filled up, but I missed chewing and drinking the same stuff for 14days (per my doc) got really boring....really fast. On a positive note, the time did seem to fly by and before I knew it I was in surgery. Now it's been a little over two months and I am fifty pounds down. Before you know it you will be recovering and losing and feeling better every day. Good luck.

I can't wait 2 shop for smaller clothes . I hate taking pictures now at this size 233. My sorority takes lots of pictures . I can't wait 2 be skinny on them. My hair stylist takes pictures of my hair and put them on Facebook. I told her, when I get smaller I want 2 be on her salon wall. I refuse 2 do it now. She cute my hair short already. I think my face is 2 fat for short hair.

Good luck

June 26 is my life changer date. We can do this!!!!!!!

You will be in my thoughts and prayers, and I'll be sending you support through brainwaves and heart strings! I wish your family was more supportive. Just remember who you are doing this for, and why you are doing it! They will come around and be thankful you did this too, and hopefully understand that you are doing this to save your life, so that you can be in their lives for many more years to come!

I have to agree ( even tho it is my first day of only 9 days) thank god idk if I could go 14. Today was hard enough. Tomorrow will be better. I hope it does fly by. I should have taken vacation days this week then I could sleep through it! Lol just a thought.

The liquid diet has my head hurting. On day 2. I think that's one of the side effects of Bariatric Advantage shakes. It takes me 2 hours 2 drink it. My hubby went and bought some unsweet frozen fruit today. Maybe the fruit will help.

Ain't no stoppin us now,were on the move !!!!!!<br />Sincerely<br /> Zeta

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
