Just going through the 2 week liguid diet. Only allowed 4 protein drinks and water. Getting through it. As of today down to 229 from 240 in 8 days. It's been rough the last 2 with being hungry. Switched my drinks to strawberry and chocolate and made it with my bullet with ice to make it like a shake. It's very good and helps to make it slower to drink. Fighting the allergies with being tired and soar throat, just took tylenol allergy for it. Need to get some energy back. Going to get the vitamins Monday before surgery on Wednesday. Legs and feet are starting to feel less swollen from the weight loss Wich is good for me, I retain water alot. My everyday and thoughts revolves around this new chapter in my life. Health issues and comfort food are my biggest issues. Always been able to loose weight before I hit 40, just can't fight against serious medical issues to even walk comfortably and two ankle/foot surgeries already. Another after the sleeve. Everyone has issues and that is why we are all here. Not to cure them all but to have tools to help our struggles how ever we can for better quality of life. I call my self a pear with legs! Small up top and bottom heavy...and it's not my waist. Thighs, hips and ass! Never will be proportioned. I'm ok with that. Just this body now keeps my physical activities very limited. Glad to be on here. Hope to learn, and support others. Here is to my last 5 days before a new chapter of being healthy and staying that way. It's my life!

My surgery is also on 6/28. I'm allowed broth, sugar free jello/popcicles, and fruit juices right now. I've lost 15 lbs since 6/14, which is insane to me. No way I could've stuck with the pre-op diet if I didn't have the surgery looming as the finish line. Good luck to you!

Hello. It's exciting. I started my liquid diet on the 16th. Went from 240 to 233 in 9 days . So not to bad. I was supposed to only do a week's liquid diet on the 22nd but I gained a few pounds when I saw my surgeon so it wasn't quite a two week start. If I keep going at this rate I am hopping to loose more by Wednesday. Happy for you loosing 15 already that is great. Good luck to you too!

I'm in same situation! I only have to do one week of liquid diet, but I don't know if it's from detoxing or if I'm allergic to something in the shakes but I have had constant stomach issues ...almost like the symptoms they describe with dumping but this is preop

I have been ok with the shakes, I've been making them with ice in bullet. I got a some gas bubbles in my stomach so I think I drank to fast. I hate that feeling and know it's going to be horrible after surgery, worse with than the 5 incisions. Down another 3 pounds since last post. Really having a hard time with all the food smells cooking but I make it through. Have u bought any clothes for surgery when stomach is sore ? I will get some sundresses tomorrow. So looking forward to getting out of double diget expensive clothes. I actually enjoy shopping at our local sal-val when smaller. I can get an entire wardrobe for the price of one outfit at lane bryant. Chat later.

That is something to look forward to. No I don't have much clothing to wear after surgery and not quite sure how I want to go about getting clothes during the time I'm losing. What shake are you using ? How many grams of protein?

Hello. I am strictly drinking premier, and only drinking propel water. The shakes I've had that I like are vanilla, strawberry, banana and chocolate. I won't try the carmel. And I don't like coffee anything. So I will be really happy to have yogurt too.

30 grams of protien 200 cal 4xday. 4bottles a day

Aren't the premier shakes ready made? How come you use your bullet?

I like them just like a milk shake. It's perfect

My sleeve is tomorrow too! Freaking out a bit unfortunately. I've been craving pizza and mexican food. Do they make a pizza/burrito flavored Premier shake? If not, I smell a hole in the market.

Good luck tomorrow!
