Day 4 was better for me with the weakness, headaches, and sickness, but the hunger has not subsided. I have 4 days until my surgery, too. I can't have another sip of broth to save my life, but I'm drinking my shakes and Water faithfully. Best wishes.

I'm not turning back now. I went through too much the past 9 days to quit. LOL

I had a revelation about this liquid diet. Clearly, I was addicted to the wrong foods which is why I went through the horrible withdrawals and all the other side effects. I feel bad for drug addicts because their withdrawals last much longer and I don't know of a surgery that will help keep them from going back to their addiction. We are blessed to have this opportunity.

The best news...my insurance will pay 100% of the surgery since I met my deductible. That's like going shopping and getting everything 90% off (10% goes to my new grocery list).

Great point! Its weird, I don't wake up hungry. Today is Day 3 of my liquid diet and Day 3 of no cigarettes. Today is better than the first two days! My one big issue is shaking. So I have had 1 Tbsp. of shredded roast chicken breast. That stops the shaking. I cant do that on Days 8, 9 & 10 though. This is VERY hard, I could never have imagined the level of difficulty.

Day 10 for me of my 2wks liquid diet, not including the day before surgery of just Clear Liquids. I really haven't had much hunger, but I've put a lot of effort into making my shakes interesting. I'll add fruit, no sugar flavor syrups, flavor extracts, etc and try different recipes. For Breakfast today, I'm having a pumpkin pie flavored Protein Shake (pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, vanilla extract, little bit of skim milk and Water, and Protein powder). Throw it all in the blender for a min with about a cup of ice and voila - a nice frothy (and big) protein shake that takes me awhile to drink. Your body will get used to it!

I don't know how you quit smoking at the same time. Really struggling on Optifast. I am only allowed Water, 1 cup of broth a day, and one sugar fee jello..not allowed anything else. I still have to cook and feed my special needs child and I work in a group home ,where I cook and serve meals for clients. This is really kicking my butt![emoji51] I am on day 5, have 9 days left. Almost wish they could have hospitalized me for the pre-op!

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

        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.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
