Hi, I'm new here and so excited to be a part of such a supportive group! I live in SoCal and am going through the program with
Kaiser. We've had 3 meetings and they haven't mentioned a liquid pre-op diet. We are supposed to get our meal plan this week so it will be interesting to see what it turns out to be.

What do you do when hungry in the liquid stage?? I think I worry more about being able to stick to that more than anything. I tried a diet just doing one Meal Replacement shake a day for about 2 months and got so sick of it I don't think I could have drank another one. Was supposed to do 2 a day but couldn't force it down. .

Darkstarwon-

I keep telling myself to keep my eye on the prize. The shakes make me sick if I only do them... but I noticed if I do some broth in between (nice on hot) or a sugar free Jello ( something to somewhat chew) or a sugar free ice pop in between all of the Water it helps alot. You will be amazed what you can accomplish when you have something at stake.

I know exactly how you feel.. I have to drink Glucerna and the only way I can tolerate even one flavor is if I don't let it touch the front of my tongue, otherwise will regurgitate it.. unlike most people I have to deal with this for 12 weeks :70_poop:

Im seeing a dietician now...3 more visits to go...how did u guys determine on what surgery to have...I'm stuck on a decision.


My surgery is not set up but my decision on sleeve was made like this..... Get this out of my body so food doesn't fit anymore... I don't have a hard time losing the weight....biggest loss was 125lbs on a Protein diet.... However I've gained more each time due to my stomach being stretched.... So when they take 2/3 out, there won't be anymore storage place.. Best of luck in chosing what's right for YOU.

This liquid diet has been hard. The first 6 days were surprisingly easy for me. Then as of day 7, wow! Hunger has been unbelievable. Everything I see looks delicious. I've struggled hard! Day 11 and I am down 16 pounds. That has been a great trade off, but definitely not easy.

      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.

      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...
