Hi Everyone - I was thinking long and hard on should I really post this because everyone is doing so well, but I really need some support. I am really struggling on staying focused on my liquid diet. I am on Day 7 and it really does not seem like it is getting easier and plus I am not losing any weight. The scale just continues to be the same and I am not eating anything. Can someone share some light on how you stayed focus on the liquid diet because this is so hard? Also I must admit I did get off track a couple of days but I am back on track.....Any help would be greatly appreciated.

so sorry that you are having a hard time on the liquid diet ... but this too shall pass.  you need to focus on the Big Picture ... you WILL BE much Happier and Healthier before you know it.  You My Friend are OBSESSING and it needs to stop.  The first thing you need to do is STAY AWAY FROM THAT DANG SCALE !!!   a watched scale WILL NOT MOVE.  Get out and do whatever it is you need to do to get your mind focused on other things.  mix it up a bit if you are a bit bored with the liquids but please know that you can and will get through this.  we are the Strongest. ... please believe that ... and you are NEVER alone.  And keep the lines of communication open with Our Almighty.  He is The Greatest!

I used the Low Carb Slim Fast chocolate shakes a lot more than the Bariatric Advantage ones.  If you freeze it then put it in the blender with a little sugar free chocolate syrup it'll be thick like a real shake.  I ate them with a spoon and it was more satisfying. 

I did cheat a few times early on but I cheated with low fat, protein foods--- scrambled egg, baked fish, shrimp, lean turkey burger patty, etc... 

You are so close now . . . you can do it!

You can do it  and it is very very hard i am hoping today is my last day of liquids i got for my 2 week postop today.  Is it full liquids or just clear?  If it is full I live on SF popsicles and sf fudgesicles.  One poster told me v-8 juice and chicken broth mixed tried it pretty good. SF LF yogurt and puddings? I can have those.  It is hard but your almost there and it will be worth it
My consult weight was 329 my Surgery weight was 318 and today i weighed 299. Oh and suck on some sf candies it will give you that little ummm goodness of a candy and not be to bad i even found some crystal light ones.
Consult weight 329
surgery weight 318
current weight 177
goal 165

I haven't done it yet (3 weeks from now) but I wanted to say that I know you can do it! Also, maybe try drinking more water? it might fill you up and also it might help flush the water weight out.

Crystal light makes this hunger satisfaction mix now that has 5g of fiber and 3g of protein and is 30 calories. I find one packet makes 2 bottles of water tasty and it fills me up...so maybe that?

OMG, what a bundle of support. This has made me felt so good. I am just 6 days away from the surgery day and YES I need to stay focus. I was very hesitant to post but now I am glad that I did. THANKS SO MUCH EVERYONE FOR YOUR ENCOURAGING WORDS!!!
