I am 4 days into this liquid diet and this is hard. I have a serious headache and would normally reach for some IBuprofen but cant...... OMG I have 10 more days feel like i'm going insane. My mother in law brought over those big muffin that you find at sam's I am soooooooooo tempted to eat one she does'nt know I am having surgery. Those of you who walk this walk and made it to the other side my hats off to you.............Any advice would be awesome.

One minute at a time! Go away from the kitchen. I basically lived on the bottom floor with the kitchen above. I had my husband here and my mom sending over food to feed the kids. There was no way, I could have done it otherwise. Even mindless hand to mouth would have gotten me.

You can do it!

This is what I had to deal with tonight. My mom chomping away at a whopper with cheese as I ate Greek yogurt. It wasn’t that I wanted her sandwich my surgery is Tuesday I’m past the hungry hungry hippo stage. I’m at the I’ll vomit on your food stage cause it stinks. Made for an interesting ride home with the windows cranked open at 35 degrees out.

I hear you! Day 12 here. I started the liquid 4 weeks in advance because I have a higher BMI and I was afraid to not lose my Pre-op weight on time. Anyway, I’ve gotten so tired of eating veggies and I all but had an emotional breakdown two days ago when I couldn’t eat with my family. Smells still make me want food, but I hear there is a time when you get past the wanting food. Eating is such a hard habit to break. Stay strong! I’m right here with you!

I think having a pre op diet will help you in the long run. My doctor doesn't do a pre op diet and now this post op diet is killing me. Everything smells so delicious! There's so many food commercials on TV, in magazines, on billboards...

You can do it! Stay strong.

      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!!
