Hey loves. I wanted to do a quick update. My doctor placed me on a 2 week liver shrinking diet and tomorrow is Day 1. I feel so blessed to have finally made it this far. 8 months of struggling with my weight going up and down but I did it. My boyfriend is actually done a 180 and is also doing the liquid diet with me. I wanted to thank you each for the comments on my last post and the advice you gave. It really meant alot and gave me the push I needed. We are stocked up on broth, Protein Shakes, Jello, and etc. Any advice for those that are going through the liquid diet?

Find recipes you enjoy eating. If the liquid diet is forcing yourself to chug down stuff you dont like, youre setting yourself up for failure.

You dont like one shake, try another. Then try mixing it with pudding, making icecream, fluff, mugcakes, artificial sweeteners, syrups, with coffee.

Theres literally thousands of ways to get creative. If youre not enjoying the things youre eating, its not gonna be pretty

The first 3 days of liquids were tough for me, just get through those sugar withdrawals and you’ll be fine! By day 4 I felt normal again. I lost 10lbs during those 2 weeks so that was a great incentive to keep chugging along! Good luck :-)

I must confess, the more I lurk and read, the more I wonder,if I can do this. Aw shoot, in for a dime, in for a dollar, if all these people can do it, why couldn't I?🙊🙉🙈

My doctor only required 3 days liquid diet. I did 4 days because I get tired of eating crap.
Today was my third day and am not having any problems. I stopped diet soda last year. I am not a candy eater. I just eat too much food.
Can't wait till Tuesday fools around.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
