this liquid diet is hard.

i had a mental breakdown earlier.

this process is very mental.

im hoping to stay strong!

food is such a challenge tho.

the supermarket & commercials (on tv) are all around promoting JUNK & unhealthy foods! besides, its TOO expensive to eat healthy.

Eating healthy really isn't too expensive, especially after the surgery when we can only eat a tiny amount of food.

I also have to tell you it gets much easier after surgery (at least for me it has) because I have no real desire to eat. I know it will come back eventually but right now the idea of eating junk food makes me want to barf.

When I was on the liquid diet, I didn't watch normal TV at all. I watch 600 lb life and Fat Doctor UK nonstop the whole 10 days and I went to bed at 9pm each night.

Watch food, Inc on Netflix. If nothing else it'll turn your stomach against junky food for a couple of days!

I haven't watched regular TV in about 20 years. I will watch Netflix, and catch an old series there sometimes, but commercial TV is was too offensive and vacuous for me. I would rather read a book. There are no commercials in books, although a lot of the characters are eating better than I do.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
