Anyone feeling any better after starting it Im on the 5th and starting liquid diet on Tuesday (I have 10 days full liquids, last 3 days are clear only) I hear the first few days are horrible then the energy kicks in...Oh how I hope thats true or my family will be disappearing on me fast with my tantrums lol WTG on the 8lbs tho..thats a huge thing...Im worried I wont loose at all and they will refuse me on the day =( Keep it up and lets keep in touch =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aapb79Gmail.com 69 Posted September 23, 2018 I didn’t mean to worry anyone yesterday who has not started pre op diet. Today is day 5 for me and I woke up feeling much better. I never thought I would get through one day so this is a huge accomplishment. I do find it very ironic that I typically cannot stay on a diet, hence me having weight loss surgery, but I can go full liquids. Crazy! I just want to follow the rules so I can lessen the chance of any complications. I did gain a pound but still down 7. I haven’t been pooping much (tmi) but probably why I gained. I shouldn’t be weighing myself everyday I know but if I have to survive this I will do it lolllll. Good luck to everyone and I answered my own question. It does get easier? 1 CrankyMagpie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shazz73 64 Posted September 23, 2018 Currently cleaning my coffee maker before I put it away (for now? Forever? ) I love coffee. I miss coffee. I suspect coffee misses me too. 25 days until the big day. One step closer. 1 2 CrankyMagpie, annaisbananas and CyndieRI reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrankyMagpie 509 Posted September 23, 2018 I've started a list to help people find their surgery buddies. This is supposed to just be sleevers, but I bet some others snuck on. It's supposed to be all the October sleevers, but I'm 100% sure I missed some, and some don't have dates yet. Let me know if you aren't on the list and want to be on it, or if you're on it but want to be, and I'll edit this post! (Please please please don't quote the whole post; just type "@CrankyMagpie" to get my attention. I mean, also, I'm following this thread, so I'll see it even if you don't @ me.)

Maybe you could get coffee Protein Shakes to replace it🤗 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
afer0841 4 Posted September 23, 2018 My office says no coffee. I’m having similar thoughts with diet soda. Cutting that out is hard for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think decaf might just make me sadder haha. I heard it referred to as “brown sadness Water once” :) 1 Suesloosinit reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
