LindsayHeth I am exactly where you are, but am afraid to weigh myself ! I am afraid no weight loss will discourage me.

So, I am hoping my body is not letting me down.

Dignity! Don't be afraid! If anything just weigh and see where you are and what you need to do! We got this! Please keep me updated!

My first week of liquids I dropped 7 pounds really fast. The second week I stayed the same. But I did well on the diet. My doctor was more than fine with my results. You will be okay. Just stick to the diet. It goes slow and fast at the same time. Before you know it you will be in surgery!

LindseyHeth I will weigh myself in the a.m. Dread......Except for the first day of diarrhea, I have not had a bowel movement. Is this normal? Maybe I should get some metamucil tomorrow. Regardless, I am sure the- day- before-surgery Miralax bowel prep kit will take care of any residual constipation..lol!

I didnt weigh myself for the first 6 days on the liquid diet, i was too afraid to see no weight loss...i was also away for those 6 days on a business trip! so i was super stoked to see that i lost 6lbs when i got back :) you can do it!!!

Lol! I have noticed that many people have to do a week or more of liquids. I am only on a very low calorie diet, so I am having BMs. Not sure if that is normal for you. A couple of Dulcolax capsules should help ease the Constipation.

      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.
