I can only have 4 Optifast shakes & one Soup daily. And Water... Lots and lots of water! I can also have crystal light mixes in my water' date=' but I'm not a big fan, so for now just Water. I have already stArted chewable Vitamins... So those are the only solids that I have eaten.[/quote']

Oh wow, that makes it tough. The bars added a little substance for me. I would be doing a lot of sleeping. I hope & pray it gets better for you each day!

U should try the crystal light PURE lemonade. It's really good way better than the regular crystal light. I have also made their mixed berry. My kiss even drink it....

I start my fast tomorrow and I have the butternut squash Soup, sugar free Jello, the broth and Protein Shakes as well as light juices. I got sugar free apple sauce too. Wasn't really sure if that will work but will have it on day one. Any other suggestions ward off the itch to eat. Oh the gum sounds like a good idea.

Thanks.

My surgery scheduled for the 17th of this month.

I very well might be starting my two week liquid diet on Christmas day. I fear the liquid diet more than the actual surgery! Lol...I'm serious!

You will do great;) make sure u get you some sugarfree pops and lots of different jellos and make a tastey broth;) ps it was super tempting the day before surgery while on my liquid diet, Walmart had hostess onsale for 2$ my fav coffee cakes tht are no longer in indiana;( lol talk about will power. I almost gave in but kept walking lol

Ha! That's exactly what I have been long, NikiG! In order to avoid nighttime cravings, I've been going to bed ridiculously early!

I have lost 7 lbs in 2 days on this LRD, but I feel really week and nauseous. I am able to eat 3-4 oz of lean Protein and 1 cup of non-starchy veggies at night for the first week of the 2. Then only shakes. Ugh! I have always had a problem with liquids on an empty stomach.

The weight loss is pretty incredible. I dropped 7pounds in be first 3 days. I'm using that as motivation to keep going. Big challenge this morning... Making eggs, bacon, and a biscuit for my son and not eating any myself. I survived it, though. I mentioned earlier weekends are going to be tough for me. Keep going. Just think, by surgery we'll probably be 20 pounds lighter. That much less to loose afterwards!

GM went to bed very late thinking about this day. Woke up early still thinking about this day. So I decided to get up and start getting things together around the house.

Drinking Water for now and trying to decide what to have for Breakfast on this first day.

      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... :(
