I'm nervous about the liquid diet. I have a really I'm portent business meeting the 2nd day. It goes all day Breakfast lunch & dinner are provided. I don't know how I'm gonna manage. They always have an amazing spread I'm hoping the have Soup & I can have the broth...

Good luck on your diets you two should do fine.

Other than that meeting Tuesday I'm excited my best friend ( who has a great figure) is gonna do the liquid diet with me to give me moral support. We'vebeen talki what shakes & Protein drinks to get. I was terrified that I cheat & because she will be doing it with me I am so pumped!!!

My best friend is doing it with me too! Boy we have a lot in common! :) don't cheat at ur meeting! U can do it! Its only one day compared to the rest of ur life! U may have to eat more than liquids, but u can still eat small portions of healthy food anywhere. I believe that, so don't punish yourself with food. That's what my therapist tells me! Its no longer a reward at this point.

That's exactly what I was thinking I might order chicken push it around the plate to act like I'm eating then bring it home to my boyfriend!! I've been eating like crazy the past few weeks. Last night we went out to dinner and I just sat there and thought I'm over it! I'm over food, I love to cook & go out to dinner but food doesn't hold that same joy as it did! I really feel I am ready for this lifestyle change.

How are the liquid diets going today???

Did your doctor tell you what a good weight range is for you? Mine said because of my height & big boobs realistically 220 is a good weight. Just wondering what yours said since we're same height same weight...

Hey waytoofat,

Congrats on being approved. I am scheduled for feb 7th. I'm so excited & nervous at the same time. I begin my diet on the 24th. I went to bariatriceating.com they have some good drinks on there. I like believe very yummy. Eas myoplex isn't bad, Isopure has an aftertaste but not terrible. I just bought like 10 different drinks and see what I like & don't. I notice the ones people recommend I'm not into different taste buds I guess.

Hopefully we can keep in touch I am also 5'11 & weigh 304.6. My goal weight is between 200-220. I don't want to get too skinny I wanna keep some of my shape and the doctor said realistically I shouldn't be under 200lbs!!!

Again good luck!!

We'll be 2 tall stallions soon!!

I am also scheduled the 7th and start the liquids on the 24th. So many mixed emotions!

Wow talking to you guys has me even more excited!!! I've been browsing the site since November and vie been waiting for my month to come up! We need to make sure we stay in touch no matter successes or failures. I have a great support system with friends and family but it's so reassuring to know others going through the exact same thing.

My pre op appointment is Friday & we're expecting snow until early that morning. I really hope it's not cancelled...

I'm on day 11 of my pre op diet and miss food but have lost 10 lbs, so yay for me! Sciatic nerve pain is kicking my ass, but I'm hoping losing weight will solve that issue. I am totally excited for Tuesday to get here! I am ready for the pain, etc! I feel great that I have done this very restricted diet for several days and can make it 14 days. I feel like I'm in control of my hunger before surgery so having a great tool after will make it even better!

I know I can do this! I think the hardest part is going to be the gas pain and then finding my "sweet spot" where I'm not hungry but still able to lose weight.

I hope all of u are excited, am happy I have u to share my feelings with, and can't wait to see ur pics this summer! Just think! We will be losing this spring and I'm planning on having the best summer ever at the pool!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
