Ladies you are going to do AMAZING!!! I can't wait to celebrate with you when you post all your after pictures looking hot and sexy and, most of all, healthy and happy!!! I am going to be in the same boat next Sunday and I'll meet you on the loser's bench 6/27. We got this!!!

Keep us posted when you feel well enough! Concerned...

June 27th here. It's day 6 of my 14 day liquid diet.

Day 5. I thought it was supposed to get easier. I'm so hungry. Staying strong though

Lol... It's ok. I'm really really struggling though. Day 5 and I'm not sure if I can make it another 9 days. This is killer

I feel for you ladies dealing w AF plus this diet. I'm on day 5 and seriously struggling. I'm starving all the time. Luckily I had my AF visit last week. Hang in there! 6-27 for me. We got this !!

I'm so jealous! I'm on day 5 of a 14 day liquid diet and I'm absolutely starving my butt off [emoji24]

Ugh!!!! This is just water weight??!!! I'm suffering and starving for nothing? That's REALLY depressing! Ugh!!!! This is just water weight??!!! I'm suffering and starving for nothing? That's REALLY depressing!

Exactly. It's not going to kill me. It's good for me and may even teach me some much needed discipline.

Clean eating, high fat, low carb and zero processed is going to be part of my maintenance regardless of what the doc says. Right now I'm on the pre op and I am not into the SF Jello, pudding and Popsicles and God knows what's in the protein drinks but I'm doing as I'm told. However, it goes against everything I believe in to eat fake sugar and to deprive myself of quality fats like coconut oil, avocados, olive oil and good quality organic butter. I hate putting any food with ingredients I can't pronounce in my body. But I wasn't losing weight that way. Eating this processed crap is causing me to drop a pound a day but at what cost?

Today is day 4 for me and it's the worst one yet. I'm praying that I get tired soon and can just go to sleep. Luckily there's nothing here so I couldn't cheat if I wanted to.

I kinda did that too thinking it would help for my pre op diet and beyond. I'm on day 4 and I'm not convinced it helped.

I got rid of all the junk weeks ago. I think the struggle is an important part of this process. That way I'm working on self-discipline. I'll try walking too. Thanks guys! [emoji846]

I'm on day 4 and haven't cheated at all... Not so much due to willpower as much as I want to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible. I'm having a 3-part surgery: RNY, hernia repair and gallbladder removal. So I just don't want any complications. In a nutshell, I'm too scared to cheat. Lol

@ Valentina. Great idea. Thanks!

I would absolutely LOVE to be at 130. I'm 5'3" with a small frame, small hands/feet but I'm older so I'm not sure if that's realistic.

My wls office never really gave me a goal weight. I'm under 40 BMI too and after this pre op diet I have a feeling I'll be close to 30. I need to set a goal! Help!

I'm glad I'm not the only one. It feels so good to feel sorry for myself and get sympathy from someone going though it too. My family is over it and I hate them for eating. Lol. Not really hate. I just want them to leave me alone.

I love my BP vets! I go to them for answers. I love my BP newbs. I go to them to whine. We newbs need to feel sorry for ourselves sometimes.

I'm not weak or shaky... Just very hungry and cranky. My niece calls it "hangry." Lol. I have been dipping into my post op protein soups, shakes and drinks. I didn't want to but the protein is filling. I get 60 grams per day.

All I know is that if I make it another days on this awful liquid diet it will be a miracle!!

Mmmmm soup. Mmmmm sammich. Preop diet has me dreaming about food. Lol

Interesting. My doc specifically said no Isopure. Wonder why.

Day 3. Much better today. I don't feel like I'm starving but for some reason I'm incredibly thirsty and I've been guzzling water which is a good thing but I have an unquenchable thirst no matter how much water I drink. I wonder what's up with that?

I actually feel sorry for the bigger people. How in the heck are they supposed to survive on 800 calories a day?
