I am in the same boat as you. I start my 2 week liquid diet next friday. It's gonna be hard but it will be worth it in the end. I heard the 1st 3 days are the hardest and to definitely keep a timer going every 3 hours. Good luck to you!

Okay - today is the first day.... Hasn't been super bad! Had an Optifast bar and one shake so far. Don't want to eat too much of my daily allowance early in the day and suffer tonight! Defiantly going to stop and get some broth on the way home though I think that will take some of the edge off! Hope everyone is doing okay!

Okay - Update- Day four not physically hungry too much. Tummy was growling a little last night but not overwhelming. It is definitely mental training! Weird not eating... Have to have control!

You'll get through it just as the rest of us did. You'll do it a fews days and probably get used to it & it will all be good. This is what you'll have to do for a period of time post op anyway so you might as well get used to it.

I'm about 8 weeks post op, and don't mind the days where I choose to do liquids for more than one meal. Honestly sometimes it's just easier that way. Good luck to you.

Cindyw41 what kind fitbit do u have what model IjusT bought fitbit charge not sure how use wounder if I can set alarm to go off so I can get in my Protein n Water

. Sorry that I just saw this. I have the charge. You can set the alarm to go off whenever and how often you like. From the App select the right arrow at the top where it says "charge" go down to silent alarms. You have to set each alarm separately. Then select everyday.

Your right about Optifast it isn't very filling but once you get into the routine, what you thought you couldn't do, you WILL do because you have to. Their also right about the first 3 days bring the worst. I'm on Day 4 and each day it got easier. good luck

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
