Recommended Posts

July 3rd is my date, I've been on liquids for a month tomorrow and can't wait. Tomorrow is the beginning of your new life! I really didn't miss food until the last couple of days, I think my last meal was lobster, I wanted to do it right! You will hear some people get headaches the first few days, I did and learned real quick to keep hydrated and keep my Proteins at 115 or more to stave off fatigue. I then learned to start Probiotics right away!!!!! Walk and walk and more walking, I find yoga is helping and 53 lbs later I'm able to move like I haven't in years! BBQ's are tough and a real change if people don't know what your planning, so do tell them if you can. Keep busy, my yard looks fabulous, I'm working out in the yard as a tool to keep busy and work up my heart rate. I found the best Protein shakes are at costco for 30 Proteins per 11 oz and $25 a case. You will drink 4 to 5 a day! I also include sugar free yogurt and pudding and the best organics brand Soups for dinner, added garlic salt and any other seasoning I could think of. a half a packet of top ramen Soup seasoning is awesome for around 40 calories. Protein drinks for Creamer in my Decaf and lots and lots of Water all day! I will be in Post Falls Idaho for the fourth to enjoy the fireworks and my new life!

My surgery is July 15th. I start my two week liquid diet on July 1st. I am scared I will be hungry and frustrated during those weeks. Any advice?

I would love a buddy as well. Starting liquid diet and it sounds to be difficult vs. my previous eating habits. I am so ready for this change and excited for what it means for us but also our family who now have us but with limited activity levels.

We can do this!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
