I was on a liquid diet for 10 days. I was allowed 3-4 high protein/low carb shakes for meals (I used Atkin Advantage). I could also pick two items a day from a Protein list (hard boiled egg, 1 cup of milk, light yogurt, 1/2 cup nonfat cottage cheese, 2oz deli turkey/chicken) and could have 2 cups of raw non-starchy vegetables. And as many calorie-free/sugar free liquids as I wanted (water, crystal light, diet snapple, sugar free Jello, sugar free Popsicles, Decaf coffee/tea, and fat free broth). It was tough, especially the first few days but I stuck to it and lost 19 lbs.

I'm ending day 4 of 14 Optifast diet. Today was the hardest. Arguments with family members made be realize in an emotional eater. All I want is to chew something that isn't a crappy chocolate diet bar. But support groups helped me steer clear of Burger King and what could have been a total disaster.

I'm sorry you had a rough day ,but you sold be proud of yourself ,you didn't do what you've done so many times,turning to food to soothe you . It takes one block at a time to knock the proverbial wall down, you're did just that congrats it'll get easier.

I didn't have a prescribed diet, just had to lost 20 lbs. I was on Phentermine, I had a Protein Shake each day for Breakfast, Tomato Soup and popcorn for lunch (I don't care what anyone says, it worked) and a regular (healthy) dinner.< /p>

      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? 🤷‍♀️
