Hi,

Please help! I am to start my liquid diet on the first.. Any tips? I have a big family cookout on the 4th I think I should skip. Please any advice will help. Thank you

I am one day five of the two week liquids and was dreading July 4th. So, I turned it into something positive by joining our church to serve police officers and firefighters meals. I am going to take my protein drinks with me. I think if my mind is off of it. I will be okay. I hope I am right. Then my surgery will be four days later on the 8th.

Thank you! That is a wonderful idea I wish there was something like that to do around here.

Best of luck on the 8th..

Today is my first day of the liquid diet, I was fine out and about but now that I am home it's wicked hard... Thanks I just had to vent

Hope everyone is well

Hang in there! Hope your time passes quickly and that you're on the road to better health soon.

Thank you Ashlee! I am trying I have been told that the first 2 1/2 days are hell... :-(

Hi, I started my two week liquid diet two days ago. I am in the same boat. This is the absolute worst!! I also have to attend a large function on the 4th. I know that the Protein shakes help. I plan to keep moving and stay away from the food. If they are playing games or have other activities, I will be in that area. I might even offer to walk the dog. Anything to keep me from seeing the entire crowd eat. I also plan to download the bariatripal app so that I can get to the support groups for moral support if I need it.

Thank you! I am glad I am not a lone.. I will be chatting with everyone on here as well.

I have just started it on my own in hopes it won't be so bad..

Did you get a list of what you can have on this liquid diet? Chicken broth jello?

I'm starting a two week liquid diet tomorrow that will last me up until my first weigh in. I'm nervous too about being around all the food and not having it. Food smell is probably the toughest for me. I have a strong sense of smell.

But, we can do this... one step at a time. Good luck!!!

First weigh in?

I started my liquid diet today. It wasn't bad....except I developed a bad headache this afternoon. I checked my blood sugar and it was fine. Took a couple of Tylenol and took a nap. Felt much better when I woke up.

Hope you do well!!!

Thank you! I am glad you had an ok day! I was fine when I was out but when I got home it was harder

Today is day 2 of my liquid diet and it's not to bad, my kid did eat in front of me a few times today and I didn't want to kill her for her food lol

I hope everyone is doing well!!

Congrats on a strong day too! You are awesome!

Thank you Ashlee... How was your day?

You're most welcome. Thx for sharing your journey! My day was great, though I am finding it difficult to concentrate with the impending holiday approaching!
