Well my November buddies' date=' I start my 2 week liquid diet tomorrow (Monday) and I'm kinda scared! It's going to be hard and I'm going to be so cranky to be around! My poor husband and kids!

Just feel like I need a little love here...you all, better than anyone, know what I'm going through!

Thanks for reading. I just needed to vent.[/quote']

You will do great! I just finished day 4 of my 21 day liquid diet and my body is finally accepting what I'm doing to it. It will be hard for the first few days but hold on and don't give in! You will most likely find that yours constantly giving yourself pep talks...I am!

I'm already in it' date=' if you don't get an invite by later tomorrow, in case she's absent over the weekend, message me your email and I'll make sure she gets it as she is very active there. :-) Or some groups allow members to invite so I could try that as well. :-)[/quote']

Yes I sent a message but haven't heard back, figured I'd give it a week, then try again! Hope we get in soon!

I have the same worries you do about hubby & kids! I have thoroughly debriefed hubby that he may want to avoid me at the slightest sassyness in my part bc it wll do no good to bug a starving lady!

Fingers crossed these drinks fill us up! If anything we can think keep imagining our "after selves" and think "I can't have that with out this, bottoms up!" Good luck today, sounds like the first few days are the hardest then it eases up!

Hello to all the new November sleevers and welcome!!! I'm also a November sleever surgery date was November 30,2012. This was by far the best thing to happen to me!!! I'm 11 months out and down 97 lbs and lost 15 inches off my waist alone!! Some days will be hard and there will be times when you have buyers remorse, but believe me it will pass when you see the weight melting off. Just wanted to wish you all good luck on your upcoming surgeries!!

Thanks for reading. I just needed to vent.

We are both going to go through it together today and for the rest of the 2 weeks. From what i have heard its hard the first few days and gets easier after that. Hopefully that's the truth for both of us. Good luck keep us updated on how your doing. I will do the same.

      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.
