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.

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!

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. 😀😀

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.

You can do it if an old fart like me can . Pre op is like doing time. lol

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
