Liquid Diet May Be The Hardest Thing I've Ever Done!



Recommended Posts

On my liquid diet I am only allowed 5 sugar free carnation instant Breakfast drinks per day. WTF!!!

I have been going to therapy as a compulsive/binge eater, so this diet is unbearable!

Why do some people get to have salads at night, or protien shots/drinks, and we only get these stupid instant breakfasts??? My BMI is 40, so i don't know if that's too high or what.

Anyway, just venting...

:)

btw, I HATE THE liquid DIET!!!!!!

Surgery on the 17th.....cant get here soon enough.

Wow, we are very similar. My BMI is like 40.5 and my surgery is on the 17th as well. Fortunately my surgeon doesn't have a liquid diet requirement, just the day before surgery I can only have Clear liquids. However, I am starting the Protein shakes today as a supplement to lunch and Snacks, just to get used to them over the next week. I figure if we get used to them now, then maybe it won't be so bad afterwards. and 2 thoughts come to mind, 1) these things are kinda gross, so it'll give us time to figure out recipes ahead of time, but then 2) we'll probably want something that actually has taste to it and these will taste awesome afterwards......got me. But i figure if we start with it now, it won't be so shocking afterwards.

Stick with it and post on here if you start to feel weak and the food demons start a-calling :-) Use this as your venting place. I'll be here to listen! We are going through this together!

      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. 🤞
