I'm on day 2of the post op liquid diet. So it's a bit different hard to get my Water in but im trying

[Mikkos 22]

I've made it to day 5 of liquids, and it hasn't been as bad as I thought it would be. Surprisingly, the first 2 days were the easiest for me, but by day 3 I was tired of chocolate shakes and really wanted food. I'm doing the Atkins shakes and all the flavors taste the same to me. I'm supposed to drink 5 a day, but the past two days I've only been able to drink 4 (I was full). But, I'm proud of myself for making it this far and not complaining too much, and I'm happy with how fast the pounds are coming off. Tomorrow I go to the Anesthesia Clinic at Loyola for Pre-Admission, and then surgery will be Monday morning.

I'm on day 4 of my liquid diet... I cheated. I had a pickle It was an amazing pickle, too. Does anyone else have really bad diarrhea tho? I mean liquid in, liquid out, but it's kinda been days now and I don't know if that's normal. This is absolute torture... not being able to eat. I want to eat so bad lol. I don't really like the Protein Shakes either.. but I guess I better get used to them. i started a video blog on youtube to help keep myself on track through my journey. Good luck to all of you! My surgery is the 24th.

Premier shakes are awesome, I just found the Will Power to keep the eye on the price,... I'm sure isn't the hardest thing you've ever done, Keep Up. You can do it,...

My mistakes 1.- Keep watching food channel. Lmao 2.- My favorite show Hell's Kitchen,.... 3.- Going Out to eat (A looot of Temptation out there) 4.- Not keep my mind busy and just focusing on food that I like and I love to eat. - Drink Water ... sometimes that hunger feeling, it's just thirst ....

You're free to have my shakes lol

Keep it up. We all have our own struggles none of us are the same. I found the first 3 days the hardest and then the night before. I guess you can say I cheated too but I tried to keep it in line with the program. My cheat was I had a sip of Pickle Juice (in my mind it was clear liquid) lots of sodium but it was better than the alternative. I also had hard boiled egg whites twice. Very high in Protein and the goal is protein. I am NOT saying it was ok it wasn't what my doctor ordered. On the others side of the surgery the struggle is still there. No you are not hungry but you still struggle with the mental part of it. It is a mind game for real. I would start learning how to. win now and figure out what works for you in the struggles. You can do this I know you can. Also I find the New Whey Protein Shots a quicker way and easier way to get in that protein. They are 4 oz and 42g of Protein. They really help me after because it cant take me all day to get down one shake. Like I said the struggles are real. Each phase has a new one but you can do it. Its about re learning how to eat properly and get in the proper nutrients and how to portion your meals. We didnt get here by having good habits. I know I didnt. So its like I have gone back to preschool and I am being taught from being a bottle baby (protein shakes) to creamy drained Soups (cereal) to pureed food (baby food) to solids. Youve got this. We are not perfect we all fail but get back up brush it off and keep going or we will never see the finish line.

Hahaha ... okay. Sure I take them,...
have you found any other kind of Protein that you can do?
What's the latest update?

I don't mind the powder that I got from my Dr office. I've tried caramel latte and chocolate and I like muscle milk chocolate too. That's all I've tried so far. I'm on day 8 of my liquid diet and I'm down 15.6lbs!
