Hello all! My liquid diet starts tomorrow, and I get sleeve on sept 16. In my mind- it feels like I'm breaking up with one of my longest friends! I feel like today is my last day to eat... Which is a terrible way to think about it because I want all my favorite no good for you foods!! Do any of you experience this?? Hope y'all have a good day!

Congrats to you, I haven't gotten as far as you have but I have already started sampling proteins shakes . I am thinking about the food I will be loosing but I'm more focus on the life expected that I will be gaining.

Cupcake,

This is what I keep reminding myself... Today, I'm just having trouble with it!

Do your best to let go of the thoughts on foods you will miss. Think of all the good things. It's not that we won't be able to eat anymore, it's that we will just eat different foods.

I started my liquid Protein diet on Monday. My surgery is the 16th as well. Today is going very well. The first 3 days were tough, but I did it and you will too. You will do great!

I n a sense you are breaking up with food. You are breaking its hold over you. I am on my last day of my liquid diet, as tomorrow is my surgery day. The one thing that really suprised me about the liquid diet was the emotions that I was feeling. It really made me aware of the reliance I had on food. The longer I was on the diet, the more I realized a huge part of the liquid diet is coming to terms with your relationship with food. Some days I had to remind myself to take it minute by minute. I will not lie and say it isn't hard, but you, your health, and your life are worth it. You can do it, Best of luck to you!

I feel exactly the same. I worry that my eating habits---- so so bad, I'm a carbaholic. I'm eating everything in sight bc I do a 2 wk preop diet in 2 wks. I'm really beginning to mourn food!!! ????

I am on day5 of the liquid diet, My doc gave me Optifast 5x a day and I feel ok. Not bad at all! People say it is the hardest part, so for me it has been very nice.

For the weeks before I had to start my pre op diet i took full advantage of eating. When it came time to my pre op diet I wasn't hungry. The protein shakes had kept me full, not stuffed, but satisfied. I was sooo tempted to eat the pizza my family ordered however, but I knew if I did that I wouldn't like the number on the scale the next day. I weighed myself every morning and loved seeing that in just a day I'd loose a pound, so that kept me focused.
