I don't think I'm gonna make it.

I'm on day 8 of my liquid diet. I'm down 11 lbs. every day is a struggle. I don't even want to eat bad food, I just want to chew something. The worst part of his is I have a texture issue and can't even force myself to eat the sugar free Jello or yogurt because it makes me gag. I also don't like coffee.

Anyone have any tips for the next week?

P.S. I'm refusing to leave my house for the Memorial Day BBQ's because that'll put me right over the edge!

Thanks in advance. You guys are always so great!

You will be fine! You either want this or you don't! I am assuming you do! You have made it to this point! DON'T STOP!!!!

okay, I am 11 weeks out.....I made it and I LOVE FOOD! LOVE LOVE FOOD!!!

BUT! I LOVE ME MORE!

The liquids SUCK! yes.

I found that if I really need something to eat during my 2 wk liquid I looked up Protein Shakes, made ice cream.. FROZEN YOGURT with fruit, frozen sugar free pudding pops. SEARCH THE INTERNET. If it is liquid and you can freeze it YOU GOT THIS!

GOOD LUCK..SEE YOU ON THE LOSERS BENCH!!!

I'm trying. I found no sodium broths and they are my life. I'm so sick of the shakes because it's just sweets and normally I don't have a sweet tooth to begin with- I crave salt. The no sodium broths are taking the edge off at least!

have you tried cream Soups or pureeing the vegetable soups?? did your surgeon tell you that those were off limits?

I don't have the sweet tooth either and I've done a lot of broth during my pre-op. You're so close hon, hang in there okay.

Yeah I'm limited to shakes, clear broth, sugar free Jello and Greek yogurt.

I was allowed a sensible meal daily, that helped me greatly. Is it possible you can call your doc and ask for some petite carrots or something to crunch on? The carrots are what helped me too, I had to have a crunch myself.

Have you tried chewing gum? That may help with the need to chew.

OH my gosh. I feel you! I am on day three of my liquid pre-op diet, and feel like I am dying. I didn't think it was actually possible for me to go this long without actually eating. I'm not joking. I once fasted for three hours and thought that was the hardest thing. We've got this!! We are worth it!!!

I feel so bad for those that have to do liquids before surgery. They allowed me one sensible meal and three specific Snacks and two Protein Shakes. Day before surgery I was Clear Liquids. I lost 15 lbs. it seems so strict. I'd have had a really hard time. Good luck to you guys! I am impressed!

      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...

      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
