If it's the sweet flavor that you don't like then you should try the Unjury chicken soup. It's such a nice change from all the sweetness from the others. I really like it and it's a great way to get the protein in, they also have an unflovored protein powder from Unjury and you can add it to anything... Good luck!!!

Best wishes!!! Congrats!

I am also scheduled for 6/4!!

Thank you ladies for your advice!!! I pushes my surgery back to 6/4 because I'm having too many doubts that I need to work thru

Thank you for posting your story. I am having surgery on 5/7 and having been having doubts, mourning food and cheating on my pre op diet I realize that food controls me and I need to take control. So, thank you. You're an inspiration!!

Well I cheated more Dinner gets me lately. I guess because I'm cooking for my kids and husband... I feel like crap about it and I felt like just canceling it all but I realize that I have control over food. So tomorrow I'll start all over again!!! Ughhhhh

Hi- Just wondering if anyone has regrets or misses eating a huge salad or gulping down a half bottle of water?? I'm on Day 6 of my pre op liquid diet. Unfortunately I cheated last night with pizza and I feel terrible about it but at the same time I am questioning my decision. My surgery is 5/7. I am so ready to lose the weight but at what cost, I've been asking myself. I have lost the weight in the past but a car accident in June totally ruined by newly found healthy lifestyle. I also have a lot of negativity coming from family members that think I'm not "big enough". But really, what is big enough? I'm 5'4 currently weigh 205 and have moderate sleep apnea...is that enough?? Idk, I am very emotional now...maybe it's the lack of food that has been vulnerable to the negativity. I know that it's my decision but I'd appreciate some insight.... Thanks

This is ridiculous!!! I don't understand why each dr is so different! There's no possible way that I can survive on liquid for 9 more days!!! I've eaten my weight in sf jello today and I'm absolutely starting!!! Is it that terrible to have a salad w/ protein for dinner???

Yesterday was a bad for a lot of us!! I had pizza last night, felt terrible both mentally & physically. Today is a new day and I'm going strong...hungry and tired but strong! Lol I guess the lack of food has caused so many doubts and fears! I am mourning food badly

It's crazy!! I have researched for almost a year now. I've been so excited and nervous too but now that I'm almost a week away from surgery the doubts have surfaced. Thanks for all your advice!!!

Good luck to you all!

You know we were in the same boat yesterday...lolToday's a new day! I'm trying to stay strong and I know you'll do the same!! We got this

Day 5 of the pre op diet and I cheated tonight I feel terrible physically and emotionally!! Today has been especially hard because of all the negativity I've received from my family members. They actually had me doubting my decision! After this cheat I am convinced that I need this tool! Tomorrow's a new day....

I have been hearing it for weeks now! My family is afraid of the unknown... There are some that say it's a waste and it doesn't work and others that say it's the easy way out... That pisses me off! Especially on day 5 of the pre op liquid diet!!! Yeah easy OK! Then I get the eat healthier and exercise BS or the best one is that I've lost the weight already....Well guess what?? It came back and brought along some friends!!! Lol This pre op diet is really hard especially when you have people telling you that you'll never eat again!! They actually had me doubting my decision! I am doing this for myself and nobody is going to change my mind! I need this tool. Don't worry about what your cousin says...she will be wishing she had done it when she sees you looking hot! Good luck!!

Hello! Starting pre-op diet tomorrow which is strictly liquids. However I am allowed a low carb yogurt daily. Does anyone know of a low carb yogurt aside from Kroger?? I live on Long Island so there isn't a Kroger nearby. Thanks

Good luck to you as well... I will already have been sleeved by the time you're having surgery so if I can help in any way please don't hesitate to ask

Hello!! I wish I could add coffee or espresso but I'm not allowed caffeine I cheated a little last night. Took my girls to the movies and had a few handfuls of popcorn. I've already lost 4lbs so I'm happy about that... My biggest issue now is DOUBT. I really don't know if this is the right choice for me. The hunger is one thing but the biggest problem I am having is the monotony of the shakes, jello & broth. I can't imagine having to do this for months... I have the support of my husband who's doing the liquid diet with me but the rest of my family are completely unsupportive and against the surgery. They feel that I'm not "big enough"! I am 5'4 and 203lbs. I am so confused!! Lol When will we be able to eat real food again?? I think about 6weeks... Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I feel the same way and I'm 10days away from surgery. It's totally normal to feel this way. It's a major life change. So you are not alone. This is a great forum with lots of support. You will be fine. Just think about all the reasons you even considered wls.

Lol!!! I can't take the sweetness anymore!!! Glad you found something that works for now! I've been drinking so much chicken broth I might start to grow feathers before the surgery!!!!

I love the Fage 0%! Thanks Where are you having your surgery? I go to NY Bariatric group and my surgery will be at St. Charles in Port Jefferson on 5/7 Good luck!

Thanks! I'll have to look for that! I don't think that I've ever seen it before!

Hi @@QueenBeeBee,I'm doing ok. Hungry and nasty...lol I have 10days left of this!! I can't take the sweetness of all these shakes! Never thought I'd say that I don't want anything sweet. I wish I were able to have a meal for dinner. I'm getting sleeved on 5/7 and I'm sitting here thinking that it will be a long time before I can actually eat again. Makes me a little sad I just hope that I'm doing the right thing. My biggest problem is keeping the weight off not actually losing it. Idk I think this pre op diet/torture is making me crazy!!! Lol

What a great list!!! The only thing that I would add: I won't miss being unrecognizable to myself Good luck to you all!!

I'm jealous! I'm on strictly liquid. Shakes, broth, sf jello, low carb yogurt and protein pudding. Good luck!!! I'm sure you will do great!Premier, Chike and Unjury are good. The syntrax nectars are nastyyyyy!

I'm on day 3 of this pre op hell! It's strictly liquid... The bad breath, headaches and the hunger pains are ridiculous!! I am an "all or nothing" type too so if I cheat at all I know that I won't stop. My surgeon said that it gets easier after day 3. I hope it's true!! LolGood luck to you all!!
