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!

Thank you everyone for your kind words. 5 days left!

Proud of you for 8 pre op days! I just finished my 4th and like you it's a struggle. Anything worthwhile is worth doing it no matter what. I find sometimes it's not taking this a day at a time but rather an hour at a time. In about another wk (if ur doing this for 2 wks) all this will be over with. Yea. And loosing those 11 lbs must make you proud of yourself! You're doing great. What is ur sleeve date?

Thank you everyone for your kind words. 5 days left!

You got this girl!! What's 5 compared to 8.. the bulk of it is done and don't forget to keep your eye on the prize!! Do some sudoku? Play a computer game? Read a book or binge watch something... anything goes

I kind of know how you feel, only my pre op diet is meat and veggies ONLY. I know that seems like a dream to most people, but to me, its a NIGHTMARE! Since I was a kid, my diet has been 90%carbs (thats what got me where i am today) itcwill be a struggle for me, but we can do it!!! Good luck and hang in there, you are almost there!!!

Good luck to you too! And I miss carbs terribly [emoji30]

Hang in there... when is your surgery? I am one week from today! Today is day one of my 7 days pre op liquid. I then have 2 additional weeks of liquids post op, before I can move on to purées.

Hang in there! I like sugar free popcicles, maybe that could be a change for you.

I'm on day 10 of my liquid diet. I just keep thinking, this will be the hardest diet I will do, then once I have surgery, I will be able to slowly incorporate more and more of a variety of things. Don't lose the focus and what you started the process for!

I pray you can continue on. Sending you good vibes for strength and endurance.

Haha I only get vegetable broth, water, and max. 2 shakes a day

You guys are the best! ALways learn something and get an insight. Thanks!! AmadaWho I hope you are now almost done. So hard when you're in it - so hardly a memory when it's behind you! I can barely remember - it's all a blur even though I'm only 5 weeks out. ha ha maybe it's my memory or I just wanted to forget. Soon it will be over!

Now I understand why I can't stomach protein shakes! I hate sweet! that's it. Too bad they don't make 'chips and dip' flavour or 'doritos' or KFC!! They would have some takers!

Hope everyone is doing well on this Monday morning!

My fiancé had the same conversation about salty flavored shake haha. And yes! Tomorrow's the day! It's finally (almost) here!!

I'm still in the early stages so I have a ton of questions! Those of you who are strictly liquids are you Kaiser patients or are you seeing Dr's from other insurance carriers? Sorry to be nosey, just very curious about the whole process!

My surgery on June 12 liquid diet starting June 5

I was told to sip on pickle juice. I haven't tried it, my willpower is very strong, but you should try it to break up the sweetness of the diet.

First post!

pre op diet day 6.

I have been making bone broth and using that as my broth for the day. Very clear with no wierd additives. And something to do beside sit around thinking I'm starving.

Discovering how terrible all the crystal light water additives are because they are so sweet. But, found the country time lemonade sugar free is pretty good with a squirt of real lemon. But! Find of the day. I'm not into sweet, I love tart and tangy. I poured half a package of cherry coolaid in my glass with no sugar. It was awesome!

Dropped 15 lbs in 6 days, not sure where it came from.

Missing something fresh and summer fruit

Hang n there
