I've heard the first 3 days of the liquid diet are the hardest then pretty easy after that.

Today is my first day and I am having a hard time. Not hungry--just the side effects. Hope tomorrow is better for us!

What I'm struggling with now is the idea of quitting smoking. I've smoked since I was 17 years old. Yes I know it's bad for me but I wasn't prepared to give up food and smoking at the same time!!! Yesterday was my last cigarette. Giving up food seems like a minor thing in comparison. I guess I'm distracted now so it's a good thing. Do you smoke?

Actually I quit smoking 3 months 2 days and 1 hr ago to be exact! Lol I have an app on my phone that helped me quit and keeps track of how long I'm smoke free! I had to decide that I wanted this surgery and to totally live a healthy life more than I wanted that little green and white box of demons! (Newports) Lol I totally understand your struggle because I smoked since the age of 15. 25 yrs of smoking and I quit cold turkey so I know if I can do it you can girl! I'm your buddy now lol! I have my pre-op in May 6th.....after I already started my pre-op diet. Where are you from?

Hi I just found out that my surgery got approved after the insurance company originally denied it. I have been waiting a long time (or at least it seems that way) on this roller coaster. I found out today my final weigh in will be may 2nd and I will get my official surgery date then but it looks like May will be my month!

I'm doing much better today, dr said feeling bad and diarrhea for about 3 days is normal. We have to use the Bariatric Advantage Protein Shakes and there's lots of Fiber. Hope you're doing well today!!!

I have not started my pre-op diet yet but I started drinking Protein Shakes to get use to them. I have been drinking them with Almond Milk but the last couple of days I've had horrible stomach pain. Today I went back to using regular milk. Does everyone have this? Do I just need to keep at and let my body get use to it? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Try mixing them with Water. I know it doesn't sound as good, but that might help with the tummy issues.

You have the right attitude. We'll all still be here rootin you on!!!

Purpleiris thank you I was so upset yesterday when I got the call and i had to rearrange everything because my date was original May 5, but then I thought about it emergencies happen , and the doctor is human too, and I love my surgeon so its ok. This just gives me more additional tie to loose more weight, prepare and stay focus.
