Just finished my first shake. It feels really weird not eating. My entire life has revolved around food. It's almost like what do I do now?

I start my pre diet on Friday. I am a little afraid of the shakes and not eating. I know I can do a day or two, but for 10 days...it's going to be tough. Best of luck! Pass along your words of advice as you experience this.

Well it's been 4 days and I think I've gotten through the worst of it. Day 2 was horrible. I was so hungry, but I made it through. I have found out that it's a habit of mine. Just grab something because it's there. One thing I found out is when I'm preparing food for someone else and I made a mess or had a taste of something. I would just lick my fingers. Now I wash it off my fingers. Lucky you that has ten days of shakes. I have a month. On a funny note, last night I dreamed I ate a brownie and then I realized I couldn't have them. Immediately I spit it out and threw it in the trash! Thank goodness it was only a dream! Lol! ????????

Yeah my surgery date is May 11 I'm so excited. I've also been tidying so I lost 20 pounds in the last month and a half and my doctor says I don't really need to do the liquid diet before the two weeks.

Day 6- not too bad. I was hungry yesterday, but I didn't cheat! My first two days I lost 5 pounds. After that it's been slower. Not sure why, but after 5 days I've lost 6.4 pounds. That's exciting. I'm almost at my weight loss for next week. I'm just nervous I won't get to my goal my nut set for me.

Congrats on the loss, I'm down 5.8 pounds in 2 days myself.. Hopefully you'll be even more than you expect for doc. And awesomeness that you didn't cheat. I've been tempted to but have stood firm on my plan ????

I'm scheduled for May 27th and my doc wants me to lose 10 to 15 before surgery. I started my Pre-op diet yesterday and then Clear liquids 3 days before surgery. Here we go! Is it May yet?!

I have to go four weeks and then the day before nothing but Clear Liquids. That might be tough, but I hope by then it'll be easy. Congratulations on your date!

Thanks! I'm hoping the 3 days of clear liquids won't be too bad. When is your date?

May 19! I can't hardly wait!
me too!

I'm not questioning if its right for me at all. I know that this is my second shot at having my life back and I'm full on taking charge and making this change. Yes the 2wk pre-op has been so different and tough at times, but I've survived 9 days and 12 pounds gone so far, so it's just gonna get sweeter as life moves forward.

Good luck to you on your journey. I hope the desicion you make is what's best for you ????

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
