New to the site (relatively) - in Austin, TX

Been on a liquid diet for the last few weeks in prep for Bariatric Surgery and Hernia repair. Hoping to lose it all through diet and exercise and not be hungry. The first part is easy (protein shakes) - no problems so far, though temptations are many. Still not hungry (like starving) as the protein works. Hoping to find others in the same situation for support group.

    I just finished my week of liquid diets! It made me sick so I had to take soup breaks (which was fine with my doctor). It seems like we are in similar situations so I'm sending you a request! I had my band done in 2009 but I misbehaved and I'm back to square zero.

    {Anyone can add me!}

    Edit: Looks like some maintenance problems, but will add you soon!

    Hi there. I just had my surgery on 11/18. I had to do the liquid diet for 6 days to get down to the pre-surgery weight I needed to be. I used Chike meal replacement shakes. They're [almost] really good.

    I'd love to communicate with other bariatric patients as I know this journey will not be easy, but will be well worth it.
