Recommended Posts

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. :)

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

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!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
