Are you on strictly liquids? What will they allow you to have? I am only allowed the Meal Replacements, Water, and broth!

I can have 2 protean shakes and a Soup at night. I can have broth and yogurt, cottage cheese. sugar free Jello and sugar free Popsicles.

I only do the Protein Shakes and soup and jello as needed in between. And water of course.

I hope it gets easier for you. When you have a hard time just remember why you are doing it!

I started the liquid diet on Monday with 3 shakes a day. Doctor just wants me to loose weight before surgery and get the fat out of my liver (if its fatty). I have lost 7 lbs since monday and am doing fine. I drink about 60 - 70 ounces of Water a day too which is flushing out my system. I just hope that the hunger stays away and that I wont cave in on this.

I am on day 6 of my 10 day liquid diet today. This morning when I weighed I had lost 5lbs. One pound per day is not too shabby. I am quite sick of the liquids though. Just the word broth makes me want to gag. I'm surviving on Protein Shakes, sugar free fudgesicles and crystal light. Four more days to go!

What Protein Shakes are you using? How do they taste? What are you mixing them with?

Well...I am doing way better than I thought..I have another 3 lbs gone since yesterday! that is 10 total so far this week. Im in shock. However as you all know, the more weight you have to loose the first drops fast..then it becomes the challenge!! But Ill take it....30 more to go!!

I am not doing the broth and Water yet since I still have to weigh in on the 8th...But it will be cake compaired to having all this weight on my poor little body. I am determined..just hope that stays with me!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
