Day 2 of liquid diet.

Day 1 went surprisingly well. I did pretty well all day up until around 4:30pm when I started having head hunger. My stomach felt fine so I know it was all in my head. This morning I feel great. I plan on doing the same thing I did yesterday. Alternating broth, sugar free Jello and lots and lots of Water with a shake for Breakfast and a shake mid afternoon.

How s everyone elses diet going?

I am having that head and stomach hunger too on Day 8 of mine. I think lots of Water helps.

Yes!I I pretty much ate every hour today. Maybe a Jello cup or some broth but it made me feel better. My biggest issue is when I get off work. Yesterday I was giving my little one year old twins some goldfish crackers and mindlessly threw some in my mouth. I wasn't even hungry. It came from habit and now I realize how many times a day I mindlessly eat! Going to bring the girls outside to play in the yard as soon as we get home to avoid that.

Not as well on my end, but not too bad, either. I'm on day 6 of the 2 week liquid diet and some days, I experience true hunger, which in my opinion, is a wee be torturous. LOL. I have supplemented with a few ounce of mahi once per day, but will eliminate the practice altogether once I'm 7 days out.

The one thing that surprised me is that I'm not craving sugar/carbs.

That’s four of us on that day @MaddiesMommaand @alchaley




How are we all doing so far on pre op ?






@selmeeka makes five of us!!
I’m doing ok, dr only had me doing low fat until surgery so after a few good funerals I’m getting in track! I think I’ll do more liquid diet meals this last week though just to make sure I’m ready! Had my Pshyc eval today and I’m cleared for surgery!!

I'll admit I eased in to the first day (had to have that last Whataburger sausage egg and cheese on a Jalapeno cheddar biscuit . . . ), but it has been all liquid since then. Surprisingly very little hunger (though I am feeling a little right now), and no cravings two days in. The struggle will be really intense tonight (Wednesdays have been fajita night for me and the family for almost 10 years), and next week will be another challenge because I have to travel next week even before surgery.

I think I have now seen 4 of us on the 4th and 5 on the 3rd. Surgery will be upon us sooner than we think!

      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
