I am in day 4 of liquid diet. Doing well. The food isn't tempting me but I am tired 3 Protein shakes a day. sugar free Popsicles. Hello. And broth. At lunch I like soup from Chinese restaurant and I eat the broth. It makes me feel like I am eating. Good luck. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for your response! Unfortunately, this is a liquid diet. I will definitely drink broth. I noticed that, in the past, I got so full from drinking the leftover broth from chicken noodle Soup. I think it's definitely the heat that makes me feel fuller. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Gina, I am praying for you right now. Do not give up hope. Jeremiah 29:11 says, For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm surviving the liquid diet. 4 days till surgery! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I also have a 2 year old daughter. Surgery is Aug 1. How many days did your parents keep her? Trying to assess how much help I'm going to need. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi there! I was same day as you. Also doing very well. Swallowing so much easier, slept on side yesterday, also started mushies today, have not yet thrown up! Sounds like we're both doing pretty well. The one thing is that I will probably miss my liquid target today. Given the no drinking before and after eating I fell behind on my first day of mushies. Will try harder tomorrow! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I'm having trouble with my Water intake today too. It was high 90s here and I just had no desire to drink, but tomorrow I'll be back at it. Today was also hard for me because my 2 year old daughter is finally home from my parents. But boy did I forget how much work she is! I am exhausted and I took a two hour nap with her this afternoon! Not picking her up is proving to be a huge challenge, but I'm trying!! And man did she accidently hit me in my incisions several times today (i went over a hundred times she needs to be careful of mommies booboo's, but she is 2 after all..lol) and boy they are sore this evening, hopefully tomorrow will be a bit easier! Glad to hear you are doing well too! Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
