luvlife 0 Posted August 26, 2012 I'm day 6 of my liquid diet. Today was the hardest. It hasn't really hit me yet that I'm having this done mainly because I'm doing it alone. No one knows. I get sleeved on Sept 4 three days before my bday Good luck. Just remember you're not alone in this. You have an awesome support base right here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

suepeeps 230 Posted August 27, 2012 I start my liquid diet tomorrow. I am really looking forward to it as food has been a bit of a party lately. I keep thinking.... Oh, I can't eat this for a long time??? I better eat it now!! It will be nice not to have to think about food for a while. I feel so bloated I think I will feel better. Oh sure, I say that now but we'll see how I feel after a few days of liquid diet!!! Good luck! Sue 2 studstammina and xavtay2 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xavtay2 85 Posted August 27, 2012 Sue peeps I start tomorrow too! I have done the same thing today well the last couple of days thinking very soon my life is going to change for the best! I am looking forward to the pre-op as well! I actually get to have a dinner daily so I am sure I can manage 2weeks of this.

dexter 205 Posted August 28, 2012 I'm in a really rough spot. I don't get a sleeve date until I lose 15 pounds. Set in stone. What I don't know is how soon after the 15 I'll have the surgery. So, my pre-op diet could potentially last a lot longer than I really want. My weakness isnt really a particular food. It's the time of day. I can drink tea and Protein Shakes all day long but right before bedtime, the pantry calls. That lonely stand-before-the-fridge-and-stare thing. It just feels humiliating and shameful to take something out and eat it with a heavy heart. Back on track: it would be wonderful to have a deadline. I could hit it hard and do it. The whole vague up to me deadline is pretty hard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
