July 20th. Currently on a 4 week pre-op liquid diet. It's been a lot harder on this diet than I thought. Am nearly finished week 2. I posted in the July thread but this one seems to be way more popular. I went on a pre pre-op diet too for a few months, and when I switched to the pre-op diet I had to eat even less. And knowing that I couldn't have the occasional takeaway, plus starving, made it so hard. Must admit I cheated twice in week 1... since it was carbs it put me out of ketosis. Since then I'm back on the bandwagon and feel like I got it out of my system. Am currently in a good mindset, however the fact that I can eat some carbs in a month or two keeps me sane, as bad as that may sound to some.

Hi all, nice to read these posts. I agree... can take about a 30 pound loss before anyone notices, when you're big. I'm not telling anyone except my partner and maybe 1 other. I'm a private person and don't want people asking me whenever they see me, as nice as their intentions may be. People already can see I'm trying to eat healthy due to what I'm eating, as I did a pre pre-op diet, to help get some of the easy weight off. At this stage it's coming off slowly ish. Now that I'm on the pre-op diet I don't have any occasional takeaways. It's super hard sticking to it, and I must admit the first week (out of 4) I cheated twice. 800 calories a day, no wonder I'm starving. I feel like I got it out of my system, and since then I've been OK. Still finding it hard, but know cheating isn't an option now which is giving me a good head space to keep disciplined. Also, since it takes like 3 days to get back into Ketosis it's not worth it. And it's not like I'll be depriving myself forever. Month or so from now I could have a little something. That keeps me sane. How is everyone else going on their pre-op diets? Anyone had surgery yet and have an update?
