I have been on shakes for 2 weeks =( I think I could eat a baby cow right now lol

Congratulations my surgery is March 14th I hope my first 9 months are like yours

I'm proud of myself today I haven't cheated at all. I think my body is understanding now lol. My tummy is rumbling now but my head isn't saying I'm hungry. Blending my shakes helped me a lot. I'm already down 4 lbs since Thursday so that's definitely motivation Good luck.. What is your surgery date

I'm on a 3 week liquid diet. No veggies just shakes jello and broth. I have lost 30 lbs on my 6 month weight monitoring. This diet is the hardest part. I started the diet 2/21 and have cheated everyday I feel horrible and even second guess the band for a moment (that has passed) if I was able to eat a small salad I think I would be fine but this thing is killing me. Today I'm out of work because I had gallbladder attack like pain (my gallbladder has been out 5 years now) and now the tummy is a rumbling. What does everyone else do or have done to get you through the liquid diet. Any suggestions for me? I'm starving 10 - 20 minutes after drinking a shake and jello does nothing

Good luck you'll be fine. =)

March 14th

I get banded the 14th of March

I will definitely try that to see of it helps.. Thanks

My surgery date is March 14th. 3 week liquid nothing other than clear liquids. I'm on day 2 day one was good to start and after work I went shopping I past every fast food possible and didn't cheat I get home flipped my lid on my children and ate a salad with vingerette dressing and 2 slices of cheese today I have cried all day and had a tummy ache and ate pretzels and sushi. This is so much harder than I ever imagined I'm going to kick this in high gear I just gotta get pass the emotional part. It's sad I never knew how much food ruled my life

So does anyone else have to do the liquid diet for 3 WEEKS... I am 5'4 260 I had to do the 6 month weight monitoring and my starting weight was 290. I loss 30lbs I'm so pumped to get this started but so stressed out with 3 weeks of shakes. I honestly don't know if I can even stomach the shakes. In the past I have tried slim fast and body by vi. I never was even able to drink one. Maybe since I'm focused I can just do it. I have 3 children but great family, my sister lives with me with her daughter and my mother and uncle live directly across the street so I plan on staying clear of everyone till I know lose my mind and my family is understand and going to step in. So I know I just gave you guys the run down of my thinking so do you guys have any suggestions for me.? Stomach the shakes. Am I just too focus on this whole shake thing and working my self up... Help I start Thursday for a surgery date of March 14th

Great advice I'm so glad I have this site to vent with people who are and have gone through the same thing.... thanks guys

I'll be on optifast... No extra veggies other then my clear liquids... Does anyone know how it tastes

Thanks that is a good way to think about it.

My surgery date is March 14th and I'm ready. I start my 3 week liquid diet on Thursday
