Liquid Diet

I started my liquid diet yesterday... two words... IT SUCKS. This is day two now and I'm already down 2.5 pounds. I just need to make it until my surgery on the 1st. I can't wait !

The pre-op diet does completely bite! The good thing was I lost 10 lbs while doing it. It just puts us that much closer to our goal and everytime you drink the broth remind yourself how FINE you are going to be in the following months!!

I know right!! I keep thinking of all the clothes I'll be able to buy. I can't wait to shrink out of Lane Bryant ! Right now its all mind over matter. I feel like all I see is food lol

Yes. I am 4 days post op and I found that buying soup and drinking the broth from it taste better than just buying broth. I can not wait to get some mashed potatoes with cheese. Lol

Lol I know. I can't wait until I can have some grilled chicken.

The liquid diet was the hardest part for me. It was like fighting a war without weapons. I couldn't wait to be issued my VSG m16!

I survived on the little seasoning packets from the ramen packages dissolved in hot water. Just threw the noodles away! If I can manage, ANYONE can!!! You got this! ????

Just finished day 2 of pre-op liquid diet.As of this morning I was down 2.4 lbs. Not bad for 1 day! I am not finding it that difficult because I have been trying to keep myself busy as possible during the day. The only time of day when I find it hard is when I am cooking for my family and cant even taste with I am making (am a damn good cook too lolol) Just keep reminding myself that my life has already changed and will never be the same...!! Got kinda sick of the constant food funerals!! gained 7lbs just during the few weeks doing preop testing.. Good luck to everyone!!

Is the post op liquid diet usually 3 weeks. I keep telling myself that my doctor will advance my diet Monday when I go for my 1 week checkup. Trying to make it through.

This is my first time typing on here. So I hope it shows up in the right place. I had surgery on Monday, 22nd. I think we are on the exact schedule! I don't know an answer to your question. I just got excited to find a person who had surgery on my same day!!

Well my surgery is on the first and I know I'll be on soft moist food on the 9th after my visit with the surgeon.
