Hi,

I've been lurking here for a while and enjoying all of the posts and info. I just got my surgery date yesterday and had to start my 2 week liquid diet right away. So I basically had no time to mentally prepare myself. I'm looking forward to reading more of your posts and receiving support. I'm nervous and excited at the same time! I can't believe it's two weeks away!! Ooh that's scary! Lol!

Hi!! My surgery is August 6 and I'm on day 3 of the liquid diet. I'm going through a frantic stage right now that reminds me of nesting when I was pregnant! I want to make sure my house is in order, my office is in order!!!

How are you coping with the diet? I can eat certain veggies, sugar-free Jello, sugar-free Popsicles, brith and vinegar, and 3 to 5 Protein Shakes per day. Today has been a little rough. I'm at work and all I smell is food and I want some.... But I'm sticking with the Protein Shake and salad.< /p>

Hey! My surgery is August 9th. Today is my last day off "normal" food. Had my favorite Popeyes chicken tenders for lunch and my husband is taking me out for dinner and then that's it!!! Protein Shakes and 1 lean and green meal for 1 week then 1 week liquid diet! I'm nervous and anxious and excited and terrified all in 1. Sending positive thoughts to everyone out there going thru the same thing as I.

Oh what I wouldn't give for a big salad!!!! I'm not allowed anything but 3 Protein Shakes a day, broth, sugar free Jello and sugar free popsicles. And Water water water. Oh I can also have fruit juice if it's sweetened with Splenda. I don't know what I would do if I had to smell food right now!!! This afternoon has been pretty bad.

We can do it! It sucks but the reward will be worth it. The family got pizza. I was joking and said what if I just chewed and didn't swallow does it count. LOL

Haha! You ladies are funny! But I've actually thought the same thing today! Thank goodness I didn't though cause I probably would have had a hard time not swallowing it.

Yeah that's what I thought too!!! And I know if I did I would feel horrible after. I weighed myself today and its down a pound from yesterday. I have been trying to walk 2 miles a day. I have an app called RunKeeper that tell you how many calories burned. I am burning half my calories I am taking in. And fitness pal tells me I am in starvation mode. Yeah No kidding!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
