I think this is going to be the hardest part of the process for me. How am I going to survive on broth and Protein shakes for two weeks while my family indulges on normal food?! They promised to try and do some days on liquid with me but that's easier said that done! It's the end result that will make this worth it, so let me stop complaining! This time next year I will be a new person!!!!

C'mon 1/12/15 so we can get this party started! (surgery date)

Just keep your eyes on the prize. I am doing a mini pre-op diet for 3 days so I can be sure to show weight loss Monday morning NUT appointment. i am craving all sorts of food....food i haven't eaten in years....After my appointment I am going to make a pot of Jambalaya and eat till I'm STUFFED! Then back to the program....

It gets better!! I'm a week in on the pre op diet. The first 3 days I was a hot mess grumpy, hungry no Bueno! But it got easier on day 4

My husband ate chinese, pizza, mcdonalds, etc. and i LOVED every minute of it because i KNEW i wasn't going to eat it. There was no way I was going to go off plan for that, and it was almost fun when people ate the food I liked around me (and it still kind of is fun) because I no longer had to eat it and didn't feel tempted to eat it. I know not everyone would think like that, but it worked for me. Best of luck to you!

I should mention that my diet was four weeks long- he didn't eat all that stuff in the course of a week or two

I had to do a semi liquid for 7 days (2 Protein shakes per day, and one very light meal). Then I had to do 14 days of pure liquids. The first 3 days of the liquid were the toughest. You get irritable and sometimes angry because you want more food. After that it was smooth sailing until around day 11. Something hit me that day and I was so hungry I wanted to eat the furniture! Somehow I managed to make it through that day, and the last few days I had no problems.

Just take one day at a time, and if that's too much sometimes, take it one hour at a time. The end result is definitely worth it.

Thanks guys! I think I've got all the things out of my system that I thought I would crave during the two weeks of liquid only and I'm pre planning all the ways I can keep myself busy so that I don't have time to even worry about food. I'll keep you guys updated on my success. I'm down to less than a week before it's time to get it in!

I start my liquid diet on Tuesday. I have a to-do list in progress. The big task will be for me to pack up my "fluffy" (aka fat..I hate the word fat) cloths! I will be cleaning, going on walks, to the gym and reading some books! Good Luck everyone ????????

I start my liquid diet on Tuesday also

I start my liquid diet on January 7th. But I might start mine on the 26th to get the fill off how life is going to be. I wish everybody luck on the liquid diet. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year !!!!

I start my liquid diet January 3rd but I am going to start it January 1st

Happy Christmas :-)

I'm on day 6. It really does get easier. Though I could have been a teeny bit 'aggressive' on day 2

Happy Holidays to everybody. Lets get this liquid diet prep together so we can meet the other on the loser bench. Jan. 20th hurry up ????

Well tomorrow is the real deal for me! I start my all liquid diet tomorrow and then there is no turning back because surgery is two weeks later. I am scheduled for an EGD on Friday, so hopefully it won't make me too sick since I'm not eating much during the week. I think I'm psychologically ready, but hope my tummy is on the same page. This is the first step to the new me for next year and I'm so grateful I have so many of you to go on this journey with! Best wishes to all of you and keep me posted on your progress!!!!

Good Luck to your liquid diet. I start tomorrow also but my surgery date is not until Januart 20th.

I'm concerned because I was told it didn't have to do a two week all liquid diet. I wonder why?

You could a smaller Bmi than some. Everybodys surgeon is different.
