I was talking to a friend I met from here and she suggested a test run of the liquid diet for a day before the 10 day....I was telling her I wanted to start early...what do u guys think did any of u do a rest run before the big one???

I say no. 10 days is enough torture! It is going to suck either way. You will be on liquids for a while. Just my opinion.

I did a 2 wk liquid diet. I didnt think it was torture at all, and I lost like 17 lbs!

I've been using Syntrax Nectar for breakfasts and occasionally for lunch as well, then a protein-rich, low carb dinner--ten pounds gone in a month, so I can't complain!

I didnt do something ahead of time....I did the 5 day CLEAR liquid diet and it wasnt bad at all..you drink all you want as long as it is clear liquid...sherbert counted as clear liquid as well as Jello. was not hungry at during the time. went pretty good.....I loved better than boulioun broth...

I like the enthusiasm! I'm not sure you would benefit from starting early at all though, just my opinion.

My doc requires a 3 week one, Ensure and cal free clear drinks... gonna be a longa** month :-) I'd almost kill for a ten day one. If you want to try flavours great, but do it before. Don't make yourself do an extra day just for practice. Just my two cents

Don't forget if you do find a favorite shake you really like... After surgery you may hate it. Things change in a big way when it comes to taste so don't stock up and waste your money

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
