snow25 188 Posted December 19, 2012 I went cold turkey on food and caffeine when starting the liquid diet. I can't imagine working nights without caffeine at least! Good luck to you. Stay strong! I'm at Day 14 of all liquid. I've got one more day, then surgery Thursday. I weigh myself every morning and that helps to keep me motivated. I've lost 22 pounds in 2 weeks. Keep at it!

First time ever I have not cheated on a diet!! I feel good. Prayers accepted today! :0) good luck for those still on the liquid diet. You can do it! Hope you had a successful surgery! I had to do the Optifast for 2 weeks too & was so proud I didn't cheat either! A nurse at my surgeons office gave me the encouragement I needed when she told me they had opened a few people up & could tell they didn't stick to the diet, so they didn't do the surgery because their liver was too fatty. I said to myself oh no that won't be me! Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk HW 272 DOS 253 RNY Date 12/3/12 1 snow25 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OleHippieGal 275 Posted December 23, 2012 Just got back from Walmart, got everything ready for this pre diet before surgery the 31st, got my Unjury unflavored, chicken broth, and chocolate, bought all types of crystal light flavors, and alot of decaffeinated lipton tea, i have plenty of splenda, and truvia, bought a package of lean beef that has 4 slices in it. bought some frozen plain broccoli and cauliflower, and a microwave steamer, got my beef and turkey Jerky. I am prepared. oh yea got the meds the surgeon prescribed for after surgery, got some benadryl cream for the itching everyone talks about. got that crappy grape flavored magnesium citrate for the day before surgery and an extra bottle in case a week after I cant poop. bought 2 lean cuisines that i could find that didnt have Pasta in it. I think I am ready, just wonder if i can get them to give me a xanax for my nerves haha, plz jesus dont let me puke. 1 momlambert reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
