Made it past the half way point with 10 more days to go!!!

A few things I have noticed so far.

1) A person can really survive on liquids alone.

2) "Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmerman" even what he eats is starting to look good.

3) As my stomach growls and gurgles at least I have something to listen to all day.

4) " Don't poke the bear!" Dad is on edge better to leave him alone for awhile.

5) Cooking for the family sucks!

6) I now have half a binder with recipes for post diet.

7) My stomach now jiggles. :P

Down 35lbs which I already feel better but have many more to go.

Hey ForMyFamily - what does ur liquid diet consist of? I'm trying to drop 20lbs in 5 weeks and my doctor has me on glucerna (diabetic ensure) 4 cans a day. I should be on a 4 week diet but I'm going to give myself a 1 week head start

I will mix 20 ounces in a shaker with Protein mix in the mourning then drink 10 for Breakfast and 10 for lunch. This gives a total of about 60gr for protein so far. I always was a big Water drinker but have found I am switching or should I say needing flavor. So all through the day I drink about 1gallon or more of Crystal lite or water with Mio or Powerade Zero. snack time is another 10 oz Protein Drink and a dinner treat of Unjury chicken Soup protein finishing out the days total of 100 to 120gr of protein.

This is a very strict regiment and I sometimes have to remind myself not to fail. It is ok though as I see it training for the next step. The protein helps with the hunger and drinking fluids all day seems to satisfy.

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support

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