You guys can do it! I'm on day 6 today. I know it sounds hard to believe, I snickered when I read other people say this, but after day 1 it really does get easier. I am allowed 3-5 Protein Shakes a day, that's it. I was nervous about that and wondered how in the world I would do that! But you have to think of the end result! It's all mental! Put your mind to it and you can do it!

Yup I start my liquid diet today... Excited knowing i can do it!!! It's definitely a mental challenge. I've done a Protein Shake diet on my own a little while ago. And was easy especially seeing the weight come off so quickly. I ended losing 60lbs in 4 months but knowing that mu surgeon may say no on surgery date if I don't lose 10lbs is motivation enough to say I will do it. I'm even giving myself a challenge to surpass her expectations and lose 20lbs so now I know I can and will do it!!!

I start my liquid diet today too. I have had the same fears as you! But someone here said to me that my attitude on how I approach this pre op diet had a lot to do with how I did this week. So my mind set changed. I now see this as a challenge to prep me for what is coming post op. Dont think of everything you can't have... think of your goal (which is to loose all the excess weight). It's definitely going to be hard and a test. But we can do this!!! Good luck!

I'm with you! Today is day 2 of my 10 day Pre-op liquid diet (my surgery is scheduled for June 5th). Cooking dinner tonight for my family was the first time I felt really challenged - though I was kinda tired and somewhat hungry before that even but I'm hoping tomorrow will be easier. Hang in there everyone - we can do this! Just think about where we're headed :)

I'm 8 days into my pre-op diet, and it can be a challenge, mentally. All the positivity on this post is infectious, though! We can do this!

I just completed day 6 of my pre op Optifast diet and now i have 7 more days left...... The diet isnt as bad as i intended it to be. I have put myself into all kinds of situations that involved going out to restaurants to the movies and a cookout...... And the strange thing is that not being able to eat food right now isnt bothering me at all..... I have this diet 100 percent and nothing is going to get in my way

Yes today was kinda bad for me too. But lets stay positive. Keep you eye on the prize!!! As for doing anything wrong. I don't think we are. I just think that our bodies are not use to this. But I've read here that it gets easier after the 3rd day. Looking foward to that!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
