Sleeve 8/15- Hate This Liquid Diet!

[jessfharris 70]

HELLO EVERYONE MY NAMES JESSICA IM 25 -5'10" and I weigh 347 lbs - My highest ...which I'm not proud of considering my husband only weighs 176 and he's 6'4"... NEWHOO... I started this liquid diet 2 days ago and all I've ate is chicken broth, Jello, and Water. I'm really hating it since my stomach is still "normal" size so I'm craving everything bad. Soooo any advice on what I can do to help this week? Any food advice? Mental advice?

Stick with it. The first 3 or so days are the hardest for most per op diets.. Be sure to get your fluids up and use the time to prepare what you will need post surgery. Your life is about to change :-)

Hi! I have surgery the day after you. I start my pre op diet tomorrow. I have to have Meal Replacement shakes as well as that other stuff you are currently having. Can you ask about that? Might fill you a bit more?? Much luck. You can do it!

Thanks guys! I hope I do well, I haven't cheated lol however the notes from my surgeon for my liquid diet says I can actually have 1 scrambled egg and 1 string cheese so I was hyped about that I feel a lil better lol I have to do my actual CLEAR liquid diet 2-3 days b4 my scheduled surgery day ! Ohhh and hope u all do well too! Thanks again it's nice to have a support group!

My surgery is tomorrow and the liquid diet has been horrible lol! The Protein Shakes help, but I don't really care for them. I found going to the pool/hot tub helped relax me and keep my mind off food. Good luck to you!

My surgery is 8/15 also, the liquid diet is hard. I also was told I could do any of the following 1 egg, or salad with petite shrimp, 5oz chicken breast, it really has helped I have that in the am after I have had 1 Protein Drink earlier. I have not been able to drink 5 Protein Drinks a day. I get 2 or 2 1/2 down. but sticking to my guns. I was shocked I had lost weight the last week. I did not think I had lost anything. Good Luck!!

I start the pre op full liquids diet tomorrow. I'm nervous about it. My fridge is stocked with Jello, broth, Popsicles, Protein shakes, weight loss shakes, carnation instant Breakfast drink mix, cream of wheat cereal!

It's crazy!

@susanfaye good luck! And hope all goes well! Keep us posted it's always motivating to hear ppl's results !

@Darkkyss- same day surgery! Awesome !! We should keep in touch , same to u hope all goes well. All I know it's veryyyy nerve wrecking since it's only like a week away.

I hope I do lose my 5-10 pounds. I haven't been eating much so i better! Lol... I had a shake and 1 scrambled egg and string cheese and lots of Water so far and surprisingly I'm satisfied.

I'm on day 3 pre op diet and my surgeon suggested 2 Meal Replacement shakes (breakfast and lunch) and a low calorie/low carb sensible dinner- not exceeding 1000 cal each day. I've been doing well except I've had Breakfast as my meal instead of dinner a few times. Also I've had Jerky a few times to curb my hunger and drinking Water like crazie. Saturday I was 282- today I was 276... So whatever I'm doing must be working. My surgeon says I could do whatever weight loss plan works for me as long as I lose it's not a big deal! I'm getting sleeved 8/17- and so freaking excited!!! good luck to you!

[jessfharris 70]

I had no post op diet. I did it at 225kg, now , 5 month later i weight 181 kg.

I enjoyed the liquid phase, at least i was not hungry at all, and did not fantasize about food like pre op.

It seems that the anterior wall of stomack, which generates the grehlin hormone, was responsible for most of my food fantasizing.

Good luck and enjoy
