Thank you I'm trying so hard to deal but I honestly thought that once the surgery was over everything would be easy from there, that because I wasn't hungry I wouldn't mind not eating, but it's so much more complicated than that and I'm like what did I get myself into? I just wasn't mentally prepared for this but…

From my first post to my most current I might be sounding like a weak person but I'm not, I just have a lot of big things happening at the same time that are making me feel extra emotional. I just lack the support I need to get through it, I knew this was going to happen though. I tried to prepare myself for dealing on my…

Thanks I'm enjoying the weight loss but not eating is so hard, 4th of july was so hard to stomach....literally. I bit the tiniest piece of a hot dog and that was day. Fluids and a piece of hot dog the size of a marble. I don't know why I did this, I love food more dearly than anything, smelling the hot dogs, burgers,…

Experiencing lots of regret, I'm completely food obsessed and miss eating, I'm having a hard time swallowing liquids no matter how slow I sip it's causing me pain, surgery was 2 weeks ago and I'm just wishing I could go back in time :/ Trying to reassure myself this was for my own good and things will get better

I'm sorry I didn't reply to these when I first read them! I haven;t been on MFP since my surgery last week but I truly appreciated all of the helpful words I received from everyone! I told them the day of surgery about the cheating and expressed my concern that my liver may not have shrunken as much as they expected, my…

I assumed everything was the same but 1 week pre is clear liquids + yogurt + certain soup, 3 weeks post op is a modified liquid diet but same rules of no carbonation, no caffeine, no sugar, no alcohol. But wow I wish my process would move that fast ! This liquid diet is going to be the stress. I was allowed yogurt so I'm…

I tried Isopure and it sent my taste buds on a trip and it was a nightmare I was fighting to get the awful taste out my mouth and couldn't finish it. But the protien infused broth is a cool way to try and reach your protein goal! I got unflavored protein powder but had no idea what to do with it I wasn't sure if I could…

Congrats! I don't have surgery til the end of the month and I have this one dress I've never worn, it didn't fit when I got home from the store and I was devastated but it's been my dream NSV for a year. Since joining this group and seeing post like this it totally puts a smile on my face and reminds be not to just look at…

I used this site modelmydiet.com it allows you to make a virtual simulation of yourself at your current weight then it shows you what you will look like at any weight you enter! That image of myself is my biggest inspiration. But I've printed copies at different size goals so I wouldn't be discouraged when I wasn't looking…

Okay thanks! By the way I'm just wondering what the yogurt is substituting? Like if I wanted to try to make a yogurt muffin or something would it be the milk that you're taking out?

I'm telling you just buy on of those 89 cent little containers of store brand greek yogurt and try it solo as a substitute you won't even tell the difference, you're better off leaving the sour cream out entirely because it really isn't necessary to mix them. Once you see how easy the switch is, you'll probably never buy…

I'm getting my sleeve June 26th! My liquid diet starts the 19th and I'm kind of nervous. Hoping to find some support of someone going through the process as the same time as me. I have a feeling the liquid diet is going to break me!

This sounds awesome! How many servings will it make?

I totally feel your struggle I solely enjoy yogurt in smoothies or in frozen form. I have tried to like it over and over. And for the people who ask why, yogurt has healthy bacteria and is a great healthy snack alternative. I really want to like it but I just don't.. But my nutritionist recommended I use plain greek yogurt…

I agree, I'm 19 years young and black and I just find it easier to relate weight loss with women who share my build. Why did this even launch into a race issue? Why couldn't this just be a place for us black women to talk about our weight loss efforts?

Hi huns! my name is Dahlia, 19, and my surgery is 6/26.. I am 295 pounds. I start my liquid diet on the 19th and I am very nervous. I don't lots of support going through this process , most people just are like "why don't you just exercise?" and I'm just hoping to find somebody who is getting their surgey around the same…
