March 10

started 2 week liquid diet today. Only allowed sugar free drinks, Water, Protein Shakes and for snack a few choices of vegetables

its been really rough so far/ how bad would it be if you cheat?

i just want a boiled egg or some tuna salad. I’m so not a sweet person I need something savory. Even plain Greek yogurt will do

I am starting a hybrid liquid for Breakfast and lunch and a 400 calorie dinner effective Sunday 2/26 through 3/5 and then 3/6-3/7 full liquid ahead of 3/8 surgery. I have hit food fatigue though after having eaten at my favorite restaurants in December and January in preparation for my life change (but while still losing weight and reaching a calorie deficit).

It gets better. I am on day 6. The first 3 days sucked bad. It took that long for my body to adjust to the calorie deficit but it did. Caffeine headaches didn’t help.

Hang in there, try not to cheat as the diet helps shrink the liver making surgery easier. One cheat leads to two, etc etc. Be strong, you can do this!

I also lost 8 lbs so far…

Thanks for the encouragement! What are you drinking? All these Protein Shakes have such a nasty chalky aftertaste which makes it hard for me to want to drink even Water afterward because of the gross taste in my mouth

i Think I’ll ask my doctor if sugarfree mints or gum are allowed

Have you tried Muscle Milk? The chocolate flavor is really good!

I’m drinking premier shakes, caramel. Yes, a bit chalky. I also have Premier Protein Water.

I also have Unjury Protein mix, chicken Soup flavor. Pricey but very, very good. It is savory.

pother than that…Deer Park water…64oz per day. Knowing that I would be drinking A LOT of water, I invested in a water cooler and have 5gal bottles delivered monthly. In the long run, it will be cheaper than slugging bottled water.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
