claudiarukab 6 Posted February 23, 2015 Ive been on my liquid diet since wedsnedau!! I caved yesterday and had a salad! I ate it sooo friken fast i felt so sick after! Lol im starting to grt nervous! Im 5 pounds down in 5 days!!! How are you doing?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
az2590 4 Posted February 23, 2015 The liquid diet is by far the hardest part, at least in my opinion. You won't feel the same hunger after the surgery. I lost 16 pounds on the liquid diet. So far everything is good with me, just started going to the gym to workout a little since walking outside is a little hard with the cold. Only trouble I'm having is getting all the Water in. I'm hoping to get there soon lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
