I still maintain....the liquid diet and the two weeks of starvation following surgery....are much harder than the surgery itself.

The preop diet sucks.

At least post op you feel like you're on the other side of the hill:)

Hey everyone! I'm already so excited to have downloaded this app to have others to chat with along this journey! My surgery date is May 3rd and I'm on day 6 of the liquid diet! It's not so bad as I'm a plant based vegan....I do miss fruit though and am kinda bummned to not have it for over the next month or so....I know it will be worth it though. Any other vegans on here?

I think in the recipes section there is a subsection for vegetarian/vegan recipes so you'll likely find some other vegan members posting in there :)

Good luck and welcome to the May team! MAY you succeed beyond your wildest dreams!!!

I am on day two of my liquid diet. I thought this liquid diet would suck cause I would be hungry. I am not hungry at all, I am so nauseous. Hopefully the nausea stops soon cause it is gonna be a rough two weeks if it continues.

I’m on day 1. Well, I just finished day one. I wasn’t nauseous today, but I was HUNGRY. It wasn’t mental hunger but physical hunger. My tummy was rumbly all day. Right now is the first time I haven’t been hungry. Thank you jello! [emoji23]
Are you on the Optifast diet? If not, what diet are you following? I just wonder if there’s something specific that’s not agreeing with you.
Hope you feel better tomorrow!

Jello is the best! I’m feeling better today! Thanks!

I am using the Meal Replacement made by my doctors office and I think that is what is bothering my stomach. I haven’t had any yet today and I feel great. I’m gonna try it once more and if I feel gross, I will give them a call and ask for an alternative.

Oof. That’s awful. Maybe see if they let you do the Optifast? It has a lot of options taste wise. The chocolate Protein Drink is delicious! And it’s nice because everything is prepackaged. Like the drinks are like little juice boxes. I haven’t had any stomach upset so far and it’s just really convenient.
I just really hope you feel better soon. The diet is hard enough without feeling sick all the time.

I can't tolerate Optifast because it contains aspartame among other sweeteners (headache trigger for me) but I did sample the chocolate shake (decent when made with ice and icy water) and the optifast lemon mousse dessert was actually really good (made me sad I couldn't tolerate them, but my mum was really happy to take the rest of the package home for her to use!).

I drink the Premier Protein shakes. So many flavors! And so far all pretty good.

Yes, I too had nausea. But it passed. I found it was way worse when I took my Vitamins.

So, I'm at the end of day 13 of my 14 day liquid diet. It wasn't easy for me at all! However, by day 9 it seemed manageable. But tonight was hard. Was way too hungry. Might have been nerves or something. So far I'm down 12.8 pounds. Not the 15-20 like I was told, but the nutritionist told me not to worry.

I am on day #12 and as of this morning I am down 12.2#. Sounds about average on here. Absolutely no side effects other than a couple of episodes of feeling lightheaded when standing up quickly. It has gone A LOT better than I expected.

      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!!
