20 lbs down on liquid diet pre-op

[need change 36]

I'm on my 2 week liquid diet before my surgery on day 9. I'm so pleased! I was weighed yesterday, and I've lost 20 pounds! The liquid diet hasn't been as bad as I thought. At this point I avoid food, food related places, and food smells...okay I'm a hermit, but so worth it. My kids have stepped up and take turns fixing themselves supper while I take some me time. Afterwards, we sit on the couch and talk about our day. They are learning as I am learning that food is not the center of our lives. I can't wait for my new life and my surgery on June 3.

Congrats on the weight loss so far! That is weight you don't have to lose after. I didn't have issues with my 2 week pre-op diet also. Good luck on your journey and what a great learning experience for better eating habits for the kids!

Good for you!

I'm worried about the 2 week pre-op liquid diet. I'm close to my surgery weight goal already. I keep telling myself that if I tough it out then I'll be that much closer to my final goal.

I've been doing a lot of walking. I wonder if I should cut back while on the liquid diet.
