Just started on my 2 week liquid date today, I am struggling BIG TIME! Any suggestions please :'(

I completely understand!!! I am on day four of my two weeks. I will be honest the first three days is a B**CH!!! However, day four I'm finally starting to feel some excitement again. The first three days I was ready to give up. I kept asking myself .... "Can I really do this??" Reading blogs on this site and seeing before and after pictures on google images has really kept me focused. I broke down and ordered the really expensive chicken broth from Unjury. I am also eating surgar-free Jello. When is your surgery date????

My surgery is June 18th. I have been starving most of the day, drank my shakes, Water, had some broth a little while ago and a sugar free popsicle. I have the worst headache ever! I just hope this gets better over the next few days, lol! I keep telling myself I can do this, then a few seconds later I am like, boy I sure hope I can do this. I know it's more mental than anything, but that in itself is hard! Thanks for the advice, it's appreciated! When is your surgery?

My surgery is on the 17th. I had a headache the first day as well but I took a headache pill and it went away. I also bought some ketosis sticks. That has helped me see that my body really is doing what its suppose to! haha Hang in there.

Well.. This is it. I have to be at the hospital at 9:30 and surgery is at 11:30 tomorrow. I want to thank all of you for holding me up in your prayers and all of the kind, encouraging words. It means so much to me.

WrightNow,

are you ready??? Nervous?? I'm excited and hoping they don't postpone it, but it is what it is at point. Lol I'll get over it either way.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
