Ayla there's a secret group on fb for only female sleevers in their 20s. If you want to join, message me your fb username and I will tell the admin to add you.

So, I've been on my high protein/low carb diet since the 1st. I lost like 5 pounds but now I've gained :( hoping the weight gain is no indication of my liver not shrinking. Please please please let my insides be good for surgery Tuesday!!

I sent you my info . Your on the liquid diet? I lost 40 lbs before my liquid diet then when I got on it I cheated and gained 10 pounds but that was 9 days ago when I went to get my blood tested. I had my last blood check yesterday and I had lost 15 pounds in 9 days from just liquid no cheating. The best thing to drink is carnation instant Breakfast. With skim milk. It's the best one I've had. The other ones taste like Protein lol ish! Your not only hungry mentally but you physically get hungry. I felt sick for awhile. But now I'm just pumped to get it. Stay strong don't cheat! My doc said you will know your livers shrinking if you lose a significant amount of weight during the liquid diet. Hope it helps (:

Im not on a liquid diet, its just high Protein low carbs. I cheated ONE time a few days ago but I had lost since then and it was VERY small amount. I decided for these last few days I am just going to do clear liquid and hope it gets me where I need to be by Tuesday.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
