You aren't alone. I weighed on Sunday morning and i had gained 10 pounds since Nov 3rd. I knew I had gained a little bit but I didn't think it was that much. I started my low carb diet yesterday. It has been pretty easy to do. Good luck with the liquids. You can do it. Prayers are coming your way.

thanks so much and good luck to you too!

Yep - I was delayed in having surgery because of insurance denial, so I am actually 10 lbs heavier than when I started working on this last May.  I started liquids/shakes and no other food today and already cheated  but I think I still ate less than usual.  However, I know what you mean - it isn't easy.

My surgery is Jan 6th.  Best of luck to you!

Take a Deep Breath, and relax.. I know it is never easy. I have gained and lost the same 5-10 pounds and feel like a giant yoyo sometimes..   I know that it is not easy to stay on a liquid diet for so long, but do the best you can... One day at a time, and you will see just how quickly the 19th comes.. I have 6 days left, and I almost feel like I need just one more to complete everything I need to get done.. LOL  But am so glad the day is finally almost here.. You too will feel like that and before you know it.

Have a very Happy & Safe New Years..

(((Hugs))))  I'm right there with you on the awful liquid diet!!  Its not that bad, we can do this!!  It will be SOOOO worth it!!  Our dates are the same so we can get through this together!

Bri,
Don't beat yourself up about this.  This is the worst time of year to try to stick to a diet- even for skinny people! Just follow the instructions of your surgeon the best you can, and you'll be OK.
Good Luck. This will all be worth it.
