I am on week one of the liquid diet. My doctor only requires 1 week but I thought if 1 week was good 2 weeks would be great. I can only have 800 calories so that's about 3 shakes a day. I am on day 4 I am so hungry. I want to eat everything in sight. I am struggling bad tonite. I saw that someone wrote they only had to have 4 incisions instead of 5 I should use that as my motivation. This is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. I know that the end result will be my life back. However right now all I can see is all the foods that I can't eat. My surgery date is April 8.

This is day six of my two week liquid diet and everyday I stare at that stupid shake cup with disgust and love all at the same time. I know that I will hate drinking it but I know I will love the results in the end. So far' date=' 10lbs down. This has been one of the hardest things I have done. I never realized how much I was addicted to chewing. I actually got all excited yesterday, when I realized that next Tuesday I didn't have to drink another shake. Crazy how I got happy about that.

Tons of SF Jello, popsicles, broth (organic), Water. I too have managed to get four shakes a day down. Five is overload for me. You can do! Trust me, I thought I was going to fail after day three. I wish you the best. My surger is April 4th. fingers crossed[/quote']

My surgery is April 4th too!!!

@ SemperFiWife...isn't that crazy? We definately have to follow each other to watch the progression. Good luck to you. By the way, I had to bravely walk past the Bagels and pastries this morning at work. That was monumental. Baby steps...baby steps.

I'm absolutely terrified of Monday. My surgery got moved up. I'm his second patient and I have to be there at 7:30 am. It's over 100 miles away...so I'm thinking of staying the night before in a hotel and then going. I really want to cuddle my cats that night, though...so I don't know. Monday. I'm getting a gastric bypass monday. She called me this afternoon to touch base and I almost canceled. It doesn't help when you read horror stories on the boards!

Are most of you using HMR shakes? I was on that diet last fall. I actually like the shakes, but with fruit, sugar free fat free pudding, or sugar free syrups. I thought they were tasty...

      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?
