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.

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!!! ????

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.

      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.
