Well today is day 3 of 14. Seriously this is freaking hard. Im hoping after another 2 days or so my body will adjust.

Ive been a grumpy gus the past few days. everyone at work keeps asking me whats wrong. Yesterday i really lost it and yelled at my kids (i felt so guilty). Idk if i lost any weight yet figured id wait until friday to weigh myself. But i def feel "lighter" on my feet today if that makes sense. ive been drinking 5 shakes today but thats pretty much it. Im allowed a few other things but dont have anything on hand right now. the end/beginning of the month is very rough in my house as im trying to catch up on bills. This liquid diet makes me feel kinda "wierd"....like off.... and i am really tired constantly. i guess when your body is used to taking in so many calories its such a shock to switch. I know the weekend is going to be very hard. I hope I can make it thru to the end of the pre op without giving in.

Good luck to all the liquid dieters right now! and anyone having surgery this week!

I am also on day 3, but I don't have an all liquid diet until the 8th day. I have two Protein Shakes and 1 meal that is suppose to be under 300 calories. I usually drink a flavored water and have a sugar free popsicle. I've been eating baked chicken and broccoli for my meal. Yes, it is hard!! :o) but, I am going to do my best to stick with it. I dread day 8! Hang in there. My surgery is Oct. 14th, when is yours?

You lucky goose, lol i prob would of given a kidney away for a piece of chicken yesterday lol. I dont have the date yet (which i think is sort of puzzling that i had to start without a tentative date even) but i talked to the coordinator a few mins ago she said the insurance def received my stuff and we are just waiting to hear back.

Good luck to you on the 14th!

I am on day two of the diet and my stomach is making noises I have never heard before. I know the end result will be worth it but being hungry is very hard especially when food is always so plentiful here. My surgery date is set for April 24th and I am gonna have to push through this some how because I do not want to have to reschedule.

Yes, I as well am on day 3 of a 14 day liquid diet before I have my surgery on the 23rd. This is definitely taking a lot of will power. I never knew I loved low fat cream Soup until these past few days, lol! So glad the headaches are gone now I just need the hunger pains to follow. I know we can do this but it's not gonna be easy. Good luck!

I'm on day 7 and while I'm not hungry and I don't have a headache. I feel tired, and emotional. Tomorrow starts Clear Liquids only so that should be even more fun! Surgery is Monday and I can't wait!!! Keep up the good work everyone! It's hard but we CAN do it!

Today was day 1 of all liquids and I'm surprised at how well I did. I had some growls but I would just have Water, but I found that chicken broth really helped. I lost my appetite last week when I got a cold and it saved me. Instead of headaches and caffeine withdrawals, I had cold symptoms. I figured it was a sign so I just started right in with the shakes and now I'm just use to it. Monday is Sleeve day and I can't wait!!!

You can do it!!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
