Day 3 of my 7 day liquid diet....I'm.so cranky...ugh...it's AMAZING how food alters

your mood like this...you don't realize it until you can't have it...4 days and counting fast..surgery days Jan. 16

I'm on day three as well it is rough but yesterday I tricked my brain I put my protein shake a sugar free jello and my bowl of chicken broth in front of me for lunch at work and amazingly I almost didn't finish the soup and I felt full. .. I guess when I cooked normally I always had more then one thing to go with what ever meat we were eating so my head converted that like wow there's more even tho my lunch was under 200 calories. Stay strong journal about it I write down what I eat then I write how I'm feeling about it. My surgery is the 22nd good luck my dear

I'm on day 4 and hanging in! My surgery is the 20th. God bless you all this week. I will be praying for all to have safe surgeries! Be strong.

T-48 hours. I'm refusing to cook or fix any food for my family till after surgery. The temptation to taste is too strong. Hopefully, it will be easier after surgery. It stinks we have to go into bariatric surgery starving.

Ammariehs mommy...congrats on the weight loss...prayers for you tomorrow that all goes great. I am scheduled for my surgery at 9:15am...most likely won't be online til later tomorrow night or Tuesday morning. So good luck to all those schedlued tomorrow as well :)

Good luck to you both tomorrow...my thoughts and prayers are with you....

I just wanted to let y'all know I started a Post-Op January 2014 Loser's Club forum on the post-op side. Read it now for ideas about post-op or questions and join us after your surgery!

My date is Jan. 9th! I'm really excited! Looking for others around the same time to support during our journey.

How are you feeling today? I'm much better

I had surgery on the 9th. I'm feeling pretty good today. I did lap band last yr and drop 50 of the 100 I wanted to lose. Then had some problems and removed it dec 4. So had gastric on Jan 9. Smell is very sensitive and headache daily but easing up. I encourage y'all to have adult Tylenol liquids ready and waiting. The prescription liquid makes you dizzy, nausea and just yuk. Doc said Tylenol is better for the pain after day 3 anyway, . Good luck to those that are getting ready

Let me ask you guys a question. So, has anyone regretted signing up for this journey? I'm beginning to. I'm 2 days away from my surgery, on a 14 day liquid diet, and all I want is a thick juicy cheeseburger. I'm beginning to wonder if I'm making the right decision. Is this normal?!?!? Help!!

It's very normal. To be honest I was ready to get off the gurney and run but thought that I have been trying to lose weight for a year and only managed 15 lbs. I needed another tool.

Thanks. I'm losing weight being on this bird diet bit it's not a way of life. I can't live on broth and jello. I know I'll never be able to sit down and eat an entire entree of General Tsao Chicken again and lose weight, but it sure does sound good. I'm just skeptical because I'm not sure ANYTHING can curve my appetite. But thanks for your encouraging words.

You're talking to someone who could sit down and eat 6 double cheeseburgers without skipping a beat. I'm just afraid it won't work with my appetite. I'm scared I'll still be "starving."

Jessie, I am with you... I had to fast this morning, I mean skip my delicious shake, to have blood work done again. On the way home I would have traded my car for a cheeseburger! I'm hungry darn it! Is this how we will feel after surgery?? I don't want to spend my life dreaming about food. Will we ever feel satisfied again? I'm not changing my mind, but my surgery is the 20th and I wonder if I'll make it!

It's normal my friend had the surgery three months ago she says she doesn't even feel hungry
