I am in the same boat as you. I start my 2 week liquid diet next friday. It's gonna be hard but it will be worth it in the end. I heard the 1st 3 days are the hardest and to definitely keep a timer going every 3 hours. Good luck to you!

Okay - today is the first day.... Hasn't been super bad! Had an Optifast bar and one shake so far. Don't want to eat too much of my daily allowance early in the day and suffer tonight! Defiantly going to stop and get some broth on the way home though I think that will take some of the edge off! Hope everyone is doing okay!

Okay - Update- Day four not physically hungry too much. Tummy was growling a little last night but not overwhelming. It is definitely mental training! Weird not eating... Have to have control!

You'll get through it just as the rest of us did. You'll do it a fews days and probably get used to it & it will all be good. This is what you'll have to do for a period of time post op anyway so you might as well get used to it.

I'm about 8 weeks post op, and don't mind the days where I choose to do liquids for more than one meal. Honestly sometimes it's just easier that way. Good luck to you.

Cindyw41 what kind fitbit do u have what model IjusT bought fitbit charge not sure how use wounder if I can set alarm to go off so I can get in my Protein n Water

. Sorry that I just saw this. I have the charge. You can set the alarm to go off whenever and how often you like. From the App select the right arrow at the top where it says "charge" go down to silent alarms. You have to set each alarm separately. Then select everyday.

Your right about Optifast it isn't very filling but once you get into the routine, what you thought you couldn't do, you WILL do because you have to. Their also right about the first 3 days bring the worst. I'm on Day 4 and each day it got easier. good luck

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
