Yes I'm on a two week liquid diet. I cheated 3 times' date=' but I'm good now I don't care for food. I have to drink 5 Protein shakes a day. I can have sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicle, crystsl light, and chicken broth. How about you?

Nope. My doc told me do a low fat diet just this last week. Stop eating at 5pm the night before and take dulcolax. He said he just wants to get my liver a little smaller so it's easier to work around. I'm dreading the liquid diet....what kind of Protein drinks do you have?

That's good. The night before surgery I can't eat of drink after midnight. Isoprue. The liquid diet isn't that bad, I just tell myself it's temporary.

The only thing hubby told me 2 years ago was are you ever planning on losing your belly? My answer was when I'm ready I will lose the belly. Wala now I'm saggy & don't even want sex

I have felt harassed about my weight for years but it just made me more angry and obstinate. First Dad and strangers, then Mom & strangers, and one brother even called me up and screamed at me about my weight 2 yrs ago just because he had lost weight, guess he felt superior? (he gained all back plus some) karma.

Today he suffered. It was my first day of the clear liquid diet. I felt well. To give me support him and my sister joined the diet. Poor thing! It actually made it very easy having their support.

I can fully relate. I dont even visit my country because of my weight. All are obese in my family but I guess the dont have mirrors. While growing up was the same. My mother always said I was never going to find anman to maried me. When I did she said he would leave me. After 17 year now she says he must be cheating. They are cruel but that just made me stronger.

Never feel ashamed. You have won the weight battle and that one is a difficult one. Best of luck and love yourself more every day. Every day before I get out of bed I say 3 positive things about myself starting by I AM... Then while at breafast I do the same with husband and children.

That's aweful for your family to treat you like that! So glad you've proven them wrong for 17 years! It's things like that that causes some of our problems. You're doing something to take care of yourself though. Imagine what it'll be like when you do visit again! :)

Unfortunately, my mom does that too. When I was a teen, she would tell me that no boys would ever like me cuz of the way I looked. She still makes comments but is more subtle about it. :-/

Keep doing what you're doing. Maybe when you've lost (not sure where you're at in this process) and feel better about yourself, you can tell them how they've hurt you...might make you feel better. :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
