I'm on day 5 of my 14 day liquid diet and it gets easier the more you go. hang in there I'm hungry yes but haven't cheated once. I just keep looking at the reward at the end!!! And best yet I'm down 29 pounds in five days!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Did ur surgeon do a pre op diet? That really helps mentally prepare you. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm am four days into my preop diet and it's not as horrible as I thought it would be the worst part is getting down the Protein shakes. I am struggling with that bc I'm not a sweets person. So I get nauseous. I'm gunna try the Protein powder to mix in my broth this weekend. But I'm down a total of 24 lbs. I'm completely shocked didn't think I cld loose that much that fast. When I get hungry I find something to keep me busy organizing cupboards cleaning out the fridge. I cook every night for my family and I sit at the dinner table while they eat. I have to get used to this bc I can't expect them to make the same changes especially when two of my kids have problems gaining weight. And it's not like if after I have the surgery I can go to a party or family function and say hey guys don't eat I can't and it makes me want too. That would be craziness lol. So I'm preparing myself and I honestly think the pre op diet is great to mentally prepare people. Just make sure you stick to what u r prescribed as ur diet. Everyone's is different I cannot have any food just liquids. And everything low fat or non fat I would kill for a price of chicken right now but it's not worth it. As a nurse I've seen to much to not follow the diet orders. Best of luck on ur journey. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have surgery two days before thanksgiving and will most likely go home the day before thanksgiving or thanksgiving day and my inlaws are right next door to us so I will probably walk over but just gunna socialize with a shake lol. Lots of luck!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm on day four also I don't have the urge to eat bc my shakes make me so sick and nauseous!!! Have you tried chipped ice? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Congrats you look amazing!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

thanks a lot that what my nutritionist suggests is to find one I like and can handle I have ISO100 right now. But it so expensive to just keep buying till I find one that works. And they don't taste horrible I actually was surprised at the taste bc I was expecting worse just they make me have a nauseated feeling after and then that causes me nausea when looking at them for the next one. Thanks for all the input!!! Much appreciated!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

yea that's what I think I'm gunna try is the protein mix. But I can't have no food at all. Only liquids and Jello. Which I can handle doing fine with that part just can't hack the shakes. Lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

i have had fibromyalgia for 13 years now just wondering did you loosing the weight help your fibromyalgia pain? And was the pain for surgery super intense? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

As a nurse I have seen so many people in out er with complications from not following directions from this surgery. And I could tell you some horror stories. It saddens me to see people have this surgery and then choose not to follow orders and not seeing the harm it can cause. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

This surgery was a choice the prescription you were given of ur diet was prescribed not a choice. What happens if you are told to take two pain pills and u take the whole bottle ??? You die!!! Same thing goes this is a prescription also. The dr gives them for a reason! Maybe think of that before going out of order and making poor decisions on a prescribed diet!! Maybe try talking to a therapist. Lots of luck!!! Best wishes!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

joy has a great idea call a local church I know we do a lot of helping our elderly members at my church even if it's just getting a o a dr appointment they may very well help you. God bless you wish I was close by to help. Gl and best wishes!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
