I actually recently did a "liquid" fast,pretty much Water and chicken broth for a day....It really helped though because I wanted to see how big my pouch was and if I had streched it out. Well turns out I ate very little for the next day or two, so it did help shrink things down. I can say that before the band I would have binged the day after a fast but my stomach is different now with the band and I find it helpful. Though I have to say that I also don't really have any medical issues that would put me in a dangerous place if I didn't eat, so this obviously isn't for everyone. But I do find it nice as a "reset" button....also not really a diet or a starvation mode thing if you only do it once every so often...now if it were for a week or two at a time...well DUH! that's just plain unhealthy...

Make me jealous...a tree loaded with lemons? I have trees in my orchard loaded with...ummm...bare branches. :thumbup:

My sister got me to do the Master Cleanser awhile back, but I gotta tell you...drinking epsom salts isn't gonna happen. As fast as they go down, they come right back up. I did a modified version and that works well. Actually, I had a few hunger pains yesterday by evening on the juice, but never did with the modified Master Cleanser.

Ok Elfie.... I am sitting here as I type.... drinking my "smooth move" tea..... I went and picked enough lemons off my tree to make a gallon of "mexican lemonade" :thumbup: My plan is to do this for 2 weeks and perhaps longer.... min of 2 weeks. I have an allergy appt for the 8th of Jan. I want to be tested and have basically nothing in my system that provides a false positive. ;o). Not to mention jumpstarting the weightloss again for the first of the year. I have become superb at maintaining. ;o) Hopefully this will also propel me in to more consistant exercise since I feel so good while fasting and accomplish so much.

Want to jump on the Lemon truck with me!?

Happy 2010! Lets be losers! hey doesnt' biggest loser start up again on the 5th?

        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
