Yes I'm on a two week liquid diet. I cheated 3 times' date=' but I'm good now I don't care for food. I have to drink 5 Protein shakes a day. I can have sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicle, crystsl light, and chicken broth. How about you?

Nope. My doc told me do a low fat diet just this last week. Stop eating at 5pm the night before and take dulcolax. He said he just wants to get my liver a little smaller so it's easier to work around. I'm dreading the liquid diet....what kind of Protein drinks do you have?

That's good. The night before surgery I can't eat of drink after midnight. Isoprue. The liquid diet isn't that bad, I just tell myself it's temporary.

The only thing hubby told me 2 years ago was are you ever planning on losing your belly? My answer was when I'm ready I will lose the belly. Wala now I'm saggy & don't even want sex

I have felt harassed about my weight for years but it just made me more angry and obstinate. First Dad and strangers, then Mom & strangers, and one brother even called me up and screamed at me about my weight 2 yrs ago just because he had lost weight, guess he felt superior? (he gained all back plus some) karma.

Today he suffered. It was my first day of the clear liquid diet. I felt well. To give me support him and my sister joined the diet. Poor thing! It actually made it very easy having their support.

I can fully relate. I dont even visit my country because of my weight. All are obese in my family but I guess the dont have mirrors. While growing up was the same. My mother always said I was never going to find anman to maried me. When I did she said he would leave me. After 17 year now she says he must be cheating. They are cruel but that just made me stronger.

Never feel ashamed. You have won the weight battle and that one is a difficult one. Best of luck and love yourself more every day. Every day before I get out of bed I say 3 positive things about myself starting by I AM... Then while at breafast I do the same with husband and children.

That's aweful for your family to treat you like that! So glad you've proven them wrong for 17 years! It's things like that that causes some of our problems. You're doing something to take care of yourself though. Imagine what it'll be like when you do visit again! :)

Unfortunately, my mom does that too. When I was a teen, she would tell me that no boys would ever like me cuz of the way I looked. She still makes comments but is more subtle about it. :-/

Keep doing what you're doing. Maybe when you've lost (not sure where you're at in this process) and feel better about yourself, you can tell them how they've hurt you...might make you feel better. :)

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
