Hi dee, I find myself not exercising very much. I do move around a lot during the day. I workout a little bit. I'm up half the night with restless legs so I'm constantly exercising my legs then. Coffee powder will be good. It will taste like a Mocha. Cheyenne is great and very knowledgeable...

Hi Cheyenne, Thank you. Yes, the time is going very fast. One more week from today and I'll have my surgery. I'm very nervous and excited. This liquid diet is real gross. I'm so sick of protein shakes. I know I have to drink them but man, I'm really sick of them. I think I might at least...

Hi dee, anyway, we're going to get this done, bowel prep and all, lol and you and I are going to make our lives much better in the long run. My son is doing the liquid diet with me. He is 30 years old. He asked me what I was doing. He's so sweet. He said he was inspired by me to lose weight...

Hi dee, I have to do a Mag citrate prep. I got the Lemon flavor. It says on my paper to take it with Gatorade or Juice to help it go down easier. I'll get some Gatorade. I'll be thinking of you. I hope there's not too much pain either. I can't take a lot of pain. I don't like to exercise...

Hi boo boo, where I'm having my surgery done, we only stay one night. Now you have to remember it all depends on how well you do after the surgery. They get you up to walk not too long after you have surgery so you can go home the next day. I guess everyone is different with the drainage...

Hi Shantell, I'm Nisey. Welcome to the Forum. I'm having the RNY on June 24th. I'm doing the liquid diet right now for two weeks before my surgery. It's supposed to shrink your Liver. I'm very excited to be getting the surgery over with so I can get back to eating food, lol. I'm glad you...

Hi boo boo, how are you doing? To answer a few of your questions, is what I'm doing now. I'm on a two week liquid diet of protein shakes three times a day, taking all vitamins, of course, drinking lots of fluids in between. I've been doing it for one week and lost 9 lbs already. You pretty...

I've been on the Liquid Diet for going on 5 days. I'm on it for 2 weeks. I want food so bad. I'm trying to tell myself I'm doing this for the surgery. Please someone give me more good reasons. I'm so sick of Protein shakes already. I drink 3 a day. I use different recipes. I just really...

Hi anybody, Cheyenne, Debbie S, is it normal to gain weight before you lose weight on the protein shakes liquid diet? Also do you get constipated on the liquid diet? Should I get some Benefiber or Miralax? Never mind, weighed myself three days after starting liquid diet and had lost 6 lbs. I...

Hi dmk_129, sorry to end on that note, lol anyway. Do we stay overnight or do they send us home the same day that we have the surgery? Im confused about that. The way my paper reads, it sounds like I come home that night of surgery. My surgery is at 8 am on th 24th. I don't know if I come...

Hi dmk_129, Boy, you have a lot going on. I plan on just healing for awhile. Cooking for 60 people, whoa, you are really brave to do that so soon after surgery. Don't do too much. Please try and have help with all of the cooking and clean up. It's really hard having surgery during the...

Dmk_129, hi there, congratulations on getting a surgery date. I'm getting a little nervous. Funny thing, you would think I was pregnant around my house, I'm nesting, lol getting things ready for after my surgery, lol buying supplies, cleaning out cupboards, etc. lol. I just stocked up on...

Hi Annaellsbury731, I don't know how long it takes to get out of your system but my Doctor told me I could not smoke for 3 months before the surgery. He kept telling me over and over again how important it was to not smoke before surgery. I am having surgery on June 24. I am a former smoker...

Hi booboo709, I just got my surgery date. My next step is to meet with the Doctor I believe to discuss the surgery and prep for surgery. I also have to meet with the Nutritionist to discuss a 2 week liquid diet before my surgery. My surgery date is June 24. Just be patient and do what they tell...

I finally got my Surgery date, it's June 24, 2015. I'm so excited and so nervous at the same time. It's what I want though. I've been working so hard for this day to come. I see my Doctor and Nutritionist this Friday June 5th then on June 10th I start a liquid diet for 2 weeks. Wish me luck...

Hi Debbie S, I'm sorry I haven't written to you. I still haven't heard about my surgery date yet. Maybe you can get some protein powder and lactaid milk. See if that helps instead of pre-made shakes. Try maybe blending soft foods and straining them for lumps and try and eat them that way. I...

Thanks Cheyenne, I'll keep that in mind. I do have the nurses number that's supposed to contact me so maybe I will give her a call on Tuesday. Everyone's off for Memorial Day on Monday. Thanks again Cheyenne:)

Well I spoke to a nurse and she told me my Doctor still has my file. He hasn't decided on a date for my surgery yet. I'm still waiting. I guess I just have to wait. I'm getting a little upset about it but I guess there's nothing I can do. I wanted to have my surgery before it got too far into...

Hi Debbie S, I think you're doing awesome. Keep up the fantastic work. Keeping busy is the best way to deal with a lot of this I guess. Even though it's hard, do get some rest as needed though. Your weight loss is wonderful. Congratulations :)
