I have offically started my liquid diet today, surgery is scheduled for April 16. All I have is 3-4 cans of Protein shakes per day, and any liquid with zero calories and zero carbs for 7 days.

So far so good - I know it will rough but well worth it! :huh2:

Good luck and much success to all the April Avengers

Good luck with your surgry on the 16th and prayers will be said for you. It's rough at first but we can get threw this. I just lost 16 pounds on my diet and I was on it for 6 days and I still have 4 days to go before surgry. Believe me, I am sooooo sick of Jello..LOL...Keep us inform with how things go for you..Take care!

Kristy,

Thank you so much for the prayers!! I am a firm believer in prayer and I feel that one can never have too many said for them. I will be here anytime you want to talk about Lousisiana.

I really enjoyed living there. I am originally from California and I came to Louisiana by way of Memphis, Tennessee. I have lived a few places due to my job. When Katrina hit, my office was destroyed and my job asked if there would be anyone that would be interested in a transfer. Well, since I am not a native, I said that I would like to move. So here I am in El Paso. I love it here. I am a "bloom where you are planted" kind of person and I have learned to like my new home. The only thing is that I cant get a shirmp po' boy anywhere!! ROFL :biggrin2:

Honestly, I am so ready to give all of that up and to move on to the next phase of my life with somthing that will be so much better for me.

WE can do it!!!

Have a blessed day,

Nancy :huh2:

According to my paper that I got from My dr is to drink slim fast, Advantage, or Edge 3 times a day. Yes you can drink crystal light. He told me that I can drink anything that is CLEAR..Chicken broth or beef broth...I just buy the Soup in the can and strain it and let my neice eat the noodles.But every Dr is different. My surgry is april 14 and I only have 12 days to be on the diet before surgry..I hope this helps some people..

I can do the chicken or beef broth, I was kinda surprised that you can't just do the "Soup at Hand" and get like chicken & Stars, because there really isn't anything there.

Well, this the end of day 2 on liquids. It's really not bad at all. I have to have at least 100mg Protein each day and 800-1000 calories. Suprisingly, I haven't been as hungry as I was eating "good for you" foods.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
