Hello everyone,

My 2 weeks pre-op diet starts Monday (January 30th). I bought my multi-Vitamins so I don't get malnourished. I have A LOT of Protein in stock & Clear liquids (case of diet Snapple, sugar free Kool-Aid, & Power Aid Zero). I think I'm pretty much prepared for the 2 weeks.

I'm nervous and excited. I know it'll be tough. For those that have already went through the 2-weeks pre-op liquid diet, what did you do to prepare? What's your advice on how to get through it? I'm so scared to fail. I don't want to be in the operating table just to not get the surgery done because I cheated the 2 weeks, etc... I'm determined to get through it but your stories are comforting so I can get an idea of what to expect.

Height 5'0"

Weight for consultation: 216 lbs.

Pre-op Weight: Unknown until January 20th.

My profile picture is not me. It's my "FitSpiration" body.

Honestly, I'm not sure if my motivation was the healthiest but it worked for me... I stepped on the scale every morning and that motivated me to keep going. I cheated twice and on those days I either didn't lose anything or gained a pound or two. It made me feel awful and was easy to stick to the diet after seeing the results. I lost 15 lbs during the two weeks. Plus I got really excited about fitting into some of the clothes that didn't used to fit me.

The key is liking your liquid. I found that I loved Rockin' Refuel. 30 grams of Protein and 190 calories per serving. I looked forward to it.

Beyond that, just remembering why you're doing it. Two weeks is nothing.
