Trust me it's easier to just hate it and muscle through. One day at a time. If you look for a work around you'll find cheating at the end of that slippery slope.

I feel you.. I'm on day 10 and I'm just not even hungry anymore mostly because I just don't want to have to drink another shake. Just try and keep super busy to keep your mind off it

Everybody keep saying liquids but my doctor didn't say that when I start on 14th. He just said Don't gain weight and Do a low no carb basically. No bread no fried foods or Pasta. I can eat meat as long as it's grilled or boiled and plenty of veggies. Please let me know what you'll are doing so I can try also.

I'm on my 5th day, I brought a rotisserie chicken and took the meat from the bone and boiled it. This was my broth for a few days. Made a smoothie from Greek yogurt and a banana. Good luck

Try blending ice cubes and non-fat milk with your Protein Powder, that makes a nice change. I use a brand called Vitaleph, which is recommended by my surgeon. I am on my 3rd week of the shakes, and it is getting boring. I got some of the GENEPRO Protein powder and mix that with Water. I never really liked broth before, but I like it just fine now. I have a cup of that in the evening.

Hang in there...it's only for now.

Surgery Date December 6th in Tijuana. Just 2 more sleeps!

I am on day 5 of my pre-op diet. My surgery is on Thursday. I hated it for the first 3 days. Around day 4 I found it got easier. Hang in there! Remember the goal :)

I am on day 5 of my liquid diet! I actually made a big pot of homemade veggie Soup, and then just strain the veggies out. Tastes better than plain broth! My surgery is scheduled for Wednesday December 14th, and my approval from insurance didn't come through until two days ago!! I was starting to sweat a little

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
