Having a very hard time. I’m on day 3 and I’m moody and very emotional, extremely constipated and tired. I am hoping it gets a little easier. RNY bypass scheduled for Dec 5. I’m struggling today.

No good thing is given you have to earn it -

The liquid diet sucks - Nobody is going to tell you it does not, you also are experiencing the head games begining. Chill stay focused and get thru hell week, Trust me the reward is great and the journey to being happy and healthy is well worth one week of hell.

Sleep, Sex, Movies, Friends use all the tools you can around you to get thru this week. Only 3 more to go and if done right you can sleep half of it away.

Good luck dont give up and you got this

Sorry for TMI, but the constipation is what’s completely killing me. I’m very committed to this liquid diet and have been journaling and keeping my eye on the prize for sure. But this pain is awful. I bought some Colace and smooth move tea praying it helps.

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. This process will be worth it.

sometimes when there is little or nothing to poo...

Seeing as I'm seeing this two days after you posted it, hopefully your constipation has resolved itself? If not, I would definitely go with the Colace. I've been having a little of it myself and have used my go-to enhancers: milk and black coffee. Since I'm lactose intolerant and don't drink coffee, one or the other usually does the trick for me. If not, the two together do, even if it isn't immediate. Hope you're feeling better.

Broth has saved me on this diet! It's easy to get dehydrated when ketosis kicks in and sodium is depleted. I was skeptical at first, but my hunger/constipation/migraine went away once I had a nice cup of Better than Bouillon. Good luck on your weight loss journey!

a word

Well, I’m 10 days post surgery and feeling stronger every day! I feel very lucky because my surgery went so well and I was up walking with no nausea and little pain. Discharged 48 hours later and working my liquids every day. My scale hasn’t budged but I honestly think it’s broken bc all my clothes are baggy and my face is way thinner. Thanks for all the encouragement!! I’m happy to finally be on the losers bench. ??
