Started your liquid diet today?

Hey There!

Anyone started their liquid diet today?  Was it challenging?  It only got challenging for me as people started to warm their food and the aroma filled the office.

So far, I have done ok.  I have about 4 others that are joining me on this liquid journey.  This has been very supportive.  I really love and appreciate them for this.

Let me hear you story...

My Best,

Hi happybody try and get as much protein in as possible, for me it eliminated the cravings and hot liquids helped for the hunger.

hiya! 
my liquids start this coming monday, so, ill be looking to you then for your stories,and how youre doing!  i have started making sure i get in lots of protein, and i haven't eaten any processed whites!  it has been ok so far, and I am going to place an order for more protein shakes tomorrow! 
rny 8/24- keep up the good work all!!!

I go in for my Pre-Op tomorrow, and start my 1 week Liquid Diet on Sat. I'm not thrilled about the diet, but excited I'm almost there. Starting to get the jitters (I've never had any kind of surgery before), but excited! I'll update about the Liquids once I get into it.

I started my semi liquid about a week ago, it's hard for a food junkie but after binging for  a week I got down to business and I've lost about 9 lbs.  It's hard but I keep myself busy. My surgery is 8/26 and I have another week of this semi liquid..(2 shakes and a small meal). After the 12th I will be on a full liquid diet..for 2 weeks. I'm hungry still but the thoughts of being healthy, thin and SEXY, really keep me going...I keep myself busy and I talk on the phone a lot!!! I wish u much luck.  Let me know how u feel and how u are doing!!!

Hi there

I do feel your pain, I am currently 6 days into my liquid diet and 2 days until my surgery.  I pray daily for the strength to make it. I also have found major support in my family and friends, they call and text me daily "just to check up" and that really helped me. I also fixed a big breakfast for my co-workers in my pod as my way of saying "I'm sorry" for how horrible I would be the week before my surgery. And it worked they all joined in to help me. They didn't talk about food or eat at their desks and 2 of my friends joined my on the liquid diet!! Their support was invaluable to me. As I get to the end of my journey I feel my resolve weakening but I know that its mind or matter so I just won't give it!

How long do you have to do the liquid diet before your surgery?
