Andrew318 17 Posted April 21, 2015 Just finished my first shake. It feels really weird not eating. My entire life has revolved around food. It's almost like what do I do now? I start my pre diet on Friday. I am a little afraid of the shakes and not eating. I know I can do a day or two, but for 10 days...it's going to be tough. Best of luck!

GOD HELP ME LOL Well it's been 4 days and I think I've gotten through the worst of it. Day 2 was horrible. I was so hungry, but I made it through. I have found out that it's a habit of mine. Just grab something because it's there. One thing I found out is when I'm preparing food for someone else and I made a mess or had a taste of something. I would just lick my fingers. Now I wash it off my fingers. Lucky you that has ten days of shakes. I have a month. On a funny note, last night I dreamed I ate a brownie and then I realized I couldn't have them. Immediately I spit it out and threw it in the trash! Thank goodness it was only a dream! Lol! ???????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cfinch70 56 Posted April 22, 2015 Yeah my surgery date is May 11 I'm so excited. I've also been tidying so I lost 20 pounds in the last month and a half and my doctor says I don't really need to do the liquid diet before the two weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Salonboi 353 Posted April 23, 2015 So how's everyone's pre-op liquid diet going? I'm on day 3, day 2 was very tough, but I made it. I've lost 5.8 pounds in two days... Rock On ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dawnyoung872 42 Posted April 23, 2015 Day 6- not too bad. I was hungry yesterday, but I didn't cheat! My first two days I lost 5 pounds. After that it's been slower. Not sure why, but after 5 days I've lost 6.4 pounds. That's exciting. I'm almost at my weight loss for next week. I'm just nervous I won't get to my goal my nut set for me.

And awesomeness that you didn't cheat. I've been tempted to but have stood firm on my plan ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rnyryry 8 Posted April 29, 2015 I'm scheduled for May 27th and my doc wants me to lose 10 to 15 before surgery. I started my Pre-op diet yesterday and then Clear liquids 3 days before surgery. Here we go! Is it May yet?! I have to go four weeks and then the day before nothing but Clear Liquids. That might be tough, but I hope by then it'll be easy. Congratulations on your date! Thanks! I'm hoping the 3 days of clear liquids won't be too bad. When is your date? May 19! I can't hardly wait! me too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have been questioning if I'm doing the right thing then I keep reminding myself this long journey and now it's so close I'm just scared! Keep me posted!I'm not questioning if its right for me at all. I know that this is my second shot at having my life back and I'm full on taking charge and making this change. Yes the 2wk pre-op has been so different and tough at times, but I've survived 9 days and 12 pounds gone so far, so it's just gonna get sweeter as life moves forward. Good luck to you on your journey. I hope the desicion you make is what's best for you ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
