Hi Acquilla...

I'm new too

and being banded on the 19th as well

and

started my 14 day pre-op diet yesterday too

how's it going so far?

I'm not too bad yet, but, it IS pretty GROSS

I agree Halo74, I threw away the rest of my first shake, it was so thick and I was at work...I will try tonight to make it into a shake with ice and a little skim milk to see if I can stand it.

I'm hearing people on here only have to do a two day liquid diet. I have to do a two week pre-op liquid diet. They want me lose 10lbs before the surgery so that liver can shrink. Do anyone else have to do the same?:thumbup:

Hey I feel for you. I know what 2 days are doing for me and can only image how it is for you. My doctor only requires 2 days but it is also on each person. I will keep you in mind prayers. :lol: How long have you been on your liquid diet? How are you doing on it? :thumbup:

Hi Peanutband,

I started my two week liquid diet yesterday and I'm doing ok so far. I wish I can do the two day liquid diet too. I'm doing the slimfast low-carb drinks and they are not that good. I'm going to try some chicken broth to switch it up. I see my Dr. tmrw, I got my clearance so I think they will be giving me a time to be at the hospital. This is a struggle for me because I cook for my family daily and the temptations are there, but I've done good not tasting the food.< /p>

Hello,

I just wanted to let you know to try the "Better Than Bouillon" for your broth, It's the best I've found so far. It's in a jar next to the bouillon cubes.

Yes, that's me. I was hoping to be getting prepared today but then I had a pipe bust and spent all day with emergency plumbers at the house.:thumbup: Despite everything I'm so excited, can't wait until tomorrow!!

      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!!
