I started my liquid diet today.... The Protein Shakes are making me gag a little..not going to lie. I diluted them with Water which is making it a little easier to take in. It will be a long 2 weeks but it will totally be worth it!

I started today too!!! Felt great this morning, now I feel like Im counting down the minutes to lunch... lol... Luckily my surgeon ok'd Herbalife shakes which I like, so that makes it a little easier for me.

Good Luck! Here's to hoping the next two weeks fly by :)

My surgery is 3/3. I can't believe it is so close. I have been on my liquid diet for a week now and it's not as bad as I expected not really hungry.

@ I have Synthex-6 vanilla ice cream and also bought almond and cashew milk. i also have chocolate Premier Protein. I have also bought the unjury chicken Soup. I have tried Unjury chocolate and I like that as well. I also would recommend Chike. it is so good. Make sure you buy some PB2 powder to doll up your vanilla and you can also but the SF Torini. I have even covered the basis of Water. I have lemon flavored torini SF to mix in my Water. I love variety so as not to get bored quickly. i start my 2 week diet tomorrow, Today is food funeral.

@ marissa75 I would like to add that Vitamin Water zero is something I have stashed away as well. Like I said...Variety is key for me.

I'm 3 days into my pre-op diet and it's okay. I have found that I like to take my Protein Shakes blended with a little bit of ice

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
