The past 2 days I've been able get less than half of my Water and Protein intake. I'm drinking an Isopure drink today and that is 20oz of Fluid and 40g of protein. So all I'll need to do is get 30g more from food...which I doubt I'll be able to get but I'm trying my hardest. I had some spaghetti sauce yesterday when my family ate, Only about 4 spoon dips but it definitely helped me drive home that I will be able to eat real food again!

You might not feel your limit with Full liquids. I know that I just downed a Campbell's Soup at Hand in less than 10 minutes. And I know that its only because its as smooth as Water. I wouldn't worry too much about not feeling your limit with them honestly. If its allowed on your plan by your doctor I'd try some cream of wheat. I ate some of that at lunch and honestly, I have about 1/4 of a cup if that and I totally felt full into my throat even.

I'd say that as long as you can get your water/protein intake in, you should be celebrating :)

I was sleeved on the 6th and I'm on liquid only for 2weeks

I am too scared to cheat and I'm struggling getting all my Protein in because I'm so full. I can no longer tolerate flavored Water so crystal light (room temp) and warm tea have been saving me. I'm hitting the gym tomorrow for some light cardio. I'm going crazy staying home. My baby is at daycare all day and I still have 2 more weeks off work.

My brother is getting married this weekend so the challenge is going to be seeing the amazing platters and turning away LOL

My dad offered to make some amazing Soup for me that he will strain. I crave and miss seasoning

The regular broth gives me nausea. Other than that I am happy to feel restriction from liquids, I just miss being able to chew. The 19th I can start mushies. Can't wait! !! Good luck to u hope your journey stays smooth!

I do know one thing...

I’ll never eat Hunt’s snack Pack sugar-free Gelatin Snacks EVER again.

It’s so hard to describe these things! They are not even soft at all. And they taste groooooooossssss.

And they have a skin! Not like pudding skin, but there is clearly an outer layer tougher than the Gelatin underneath.

I left the rest of them in the fridge at work and wrote on the top of them “Free Jello, NO JOKE”.

Well, it’s been two weeks and they are still in the fridge at work. Looks like there is a joke after all, and it’s on me.

From now on it’s Jell-O for me as far as gelatin goes!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
