So I'm on day 5 of my liquid diet. I've done great and haven't even had the urge to cheat. However, yesterday something caused to me to have the "hot trots" and it was really bad. Then this morning I weighed in and actually gained 2 pounds? I'm behaving but don't understand the gain? Especially as much as I "cleaned out" yesterday :-/ any thoughts?

I'm on day 3, and I have had the trots since I started this!! I haven't weighed, so I have no idea if I've lost or gained. I'm not having any stomach pains, but boy am I going to the bathroom!!!!

I am on day 5 too, and have gained almost 2lbs as well! Makes no sense!! Grrr.... so frustrating!! I haven't had one bite of food since Sunday and I am gaining weight. How is this possible? Everything is sugar-free. Maybe more Water is needed due to high sodium with the broth?

Possibly- but I'm already drinking a gallon and half of Water a day! I don't think I can drink any more :-( maybe I'm drinking too much?

I just spoke with my Patient Advocate, and she said this is completely normal. She said that most likely there will be a few more days like this, and then we will see some weight drop off right before surgery. She said it is not substantial, but that not losing weight is normal because we are replacing those nutrients with heavy liquids like the shakes and lots and lots of Water. BUT she did warn that it will probably lead to some diarrhea in a day or two so to be careful where you at at. Lol.

How many shakes are you all drinking a day? I have been drinking three a day but yet still going to bed hungry? Should I be drinking more?

I could not keep down the Bariatric Advantage gross ones. They were thick and disgusting. I switched to Premier Protein shakes from Sam's Club and they taste just like chocolate milk with 30gms of Protein. I have been drinking 3 a day. But also having Sf Jello, broth, hot tea, SF popsicles, Water, crushed ice with sugar free Hawaiian Punch sprinkled on it like a snow cone. I feel full at the end of the day. The Premier drinks are not bad at all and they have a cap on them so I can reseal them.

I drink 3 a day - Breakfast, snack and dinner also drink lots of Water and broth. SF Jello and Popsicles make for nice little treats as well.

That's great, I need to get on the broth so I can change it up I'm getting really sick of the Protein Shakes. I have not been a happy camper with not being able to eat solid foods. Im just glad my husband isn't here to witness it, but my poor parents are with me and supporting me and my dad is coaching me through everything because he had his gastric bypass 4 years ago and has maintained his weight (Very proud of him). But I am going to keep up with the 3 shakes a day and maybe a broth as substitute for dinner or lunch. thanks so much ladies :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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
