Hi all! I can't believe this journey so far, and it has just barely started. As of today I am two months and two days out from the day I started my pre op liquid diet. On that day I weighed 292.8 lbs. Two weeks later the morning of surgery on October 4th my weight was at 275.6 this morning I reached 50 lbs give since the start of my liquid diet. And 33 lbs gone in the six weeks and two days since surgery. It feels amazing!

I'm excited. Started at 361 on the 17th. Started my liquid diet on the 20th and as of this morning I'm 353. It's only 8 lbs but I've never dropped 8 lbs in one week and I have another week to go. My surgery is 12/4

That's so awesome! Great job! And believe me... I know what you mean. I would try so hard every month only to lose 3 lbs and now I'm 50 lbs down.
Keep me posted after your surgery. I'd love to keep in touch with your progress

Thank you. That's so encouraging. I'm trying to make all my preparations. How much did you rely on protein shakes? I don't eat meat and usually am 100% vegan but I've made concessions for the liquid diet. I was thinking for the first four weeks continuing the 2 shakes and a meal plan

My surgeon wants me to have two 4oz protein shakes every day. Plus 64oz of liquid (water) and per my surgeons meal plan I should be on mushy foods however I still can't hold down anything more than soup. So I've been doing my protein shakes and 1/2 a cup of soup twice a day. I miss the taste of food but I know it's all worth it
