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 :)

Finally scheduled Monday the 12th. WHAT a nightmare this has been but ready to get this done and look toward a healthier life. In the end it will all be worth it but sad that I had to wait another 5 days. anyway time to pack for the hospital make sure the pantry is stocked for my return.

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

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
