Calling all October sleevers!!

Stay strong, have you had your surgery as of yet?

Dont beat yourself up over it Bary. This is all new and its said that it takes 30 days to break a habit and 90 days to start a new one. [emoji4] Im trying to prepare myself to not be hard on myself if/when I slip. WE CAN DO THIS!!! 🤠

I start mine on the 16th of October I think, (Need to see calendar) but yeah, that part is going to be hard for sure. Glad the Optifast Soup helped. Where did you get them? I had been on Optifast also years ago and it helped, but didn't know if you could get outside of them giving them to you. The 16th will be here quick [emoji4]

I think you owe yourself a HUGE pat on the back for doing so fantastic at the store!!! Yaaay you! [emoji106]

My surgery is October 3rd. I'm doing the Pre- op liquid diet it's going well. I don't get hungry at all. I am so ready for this journey BRING IT!!! Nothing to be afraid of this will be the best thing I ever did for me. I have a friend that did this one year ago she weighed two pounds less than I do and we are both 61 years old she went from a size 26 to a 12 . So did my daughter she is 37 and lost 132 pounds in a year she is two years out and has kept it off she looks amazing. Her husband is 38 and went from a 6XL to. 2XL . Best of luck to all of you!

I started my preop diet a little early because I thought, what the heck, I am committing to this new lifestyle so I need to truly commit. This has been the first lifestyle change that I have committed to in over 3 years. So far, I am on day 6 of my no carb two week preop diet and have lost 10 pounds so far! This has just been motivating me to keep going. I haven't slipped up once on my diet. I feel so proud. 10 days away from surgery and I am feeling more ready than ever. Good luck everyone!

So I am finishing up day 5 of Clear Liquids only... I wanna eat food so bad [emoji31] My diet only allows Protein Drinks, broth, sf drinks, sf popsicles, and sf Jello. What I've found is that it's ALL in the mind for me... my stomach isn't hungry (really!) but mentally, I'm craving everything under the sun. 9 days to go! Omg

I bet you will be fine. Just get right back on track! My prayers go out to you for strength.

Anyone else thinking of making their own shakes? I start my pre-op diet on the 9th. A few people I have spoken with say they get sick of everything they can eat being sweet. That there are to few "savory" things to choose from.
