I just started my bariatric journey. I'll be having the Duodenal Switch before the end of this year. I love your story so I'm following you. Greetings from Knoxville, Tn
So glad that I found you. I'm on day 10 and I'm beyond hangry. I've avoided people all day to protect the innocent. I'm starving and I'm doing everything not to eat. 4 more days and I'll be using your tips to make it. Thank you!
OMG. Idk if you're going to see this because it is a older video but, I have to express to you how God send this video is! The transparency, your vibrant energy is EVERYTHING. Definitely gave me a lot of tips and inspires me that I can have victory over this. Thank you for the realness.
came across your video, thanks for being real with us, as much as I am preparing, we all need encouragement. My two week pre-OP diet is coming up, so I am trying to stay the course. This journey has been one of difficulties. You are so right, most is a mind game. We the support of my husband and my sons I can and will succeed. Thanks again, glad I came across you. Surgery in Feburary 2021.
This is a life saver. I. Scheduled for September 29th so I start my liquid diet very very soon. I think isolation will be the best thing for me! Thank you for the video!
I know this is old but I'm on a clear liquid diet for 1-2 weeks for an obstruction. I'm very happy to see that this video was about things other than what to eat. Take up a new hobby? Brilliant. Avoid social media? Beyond brilliant. All of these were very helpful so thank you for them!
I’m so glad you liked it! I feel like, for me, I get so hyper focused and distraction helps with changing my focus with food. If you have a project you are deeply involved in- time flies. Also, you wouldn’t watch videos about drinking if you had a hard time (or needed to stop) drinking?! It sort of defeats the purpose. Haha
Thank you Thank you so much! I found this video on my first day of my 2 week clear diet journey! You are so honest about "smell is the love of food" and you was questioning yourself . Thank you ,Thank you!!!
Today marks my 8th day.... It gets better but i waz so HUNGRY i waz looking a videos of people eating😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣 eat day is a challenge but its getting better the part that's hard for me is that i still have to cook for my family... I just telling my self how bad do i want it.
That’s so good to hear! I’m glad you liked it and it helped. Makes me so happy. You will do great! If you weren’t scared, I wouldn’t think you’re normal. Lol
I started my clear liquid diet on August 28 and it’s now September 3 it’s been 5 days for me lol I been starving omg I have my surgery this month on the 16 great video thanks for sharing this
Hi stumbled upon your video and loved it gave me lots of info as I’m going through that two week liquid diet my surgery will be in or on June 8 and like you said it’s a mental thing it’s not that you’re hungry mental and I am struggling so hard I have one week down and I got one week to go and looking at all these videos with all these ladies it just pushes me to really say I can do this and I really appreciate all you ladies and you for putting it out there thank you so much.
Thank you for this video! I am about to start this journey and don’t know anyone who has done this. It’s so helpful to have tips and to be aware of the reality of hard days and the mental battle as well!
I am so lucky because I am in the two week pre-op diet and I get 4 oz of lean meat, .50 cup cooked veggies, 1 cup of raw veggies and .50 cup of fruit plus sugar free popsicles and sugar free jello and up to four protein shakes a day. I have lost almost 4 lbs but I had lost 21 lbs before this. I still have 8 days to go.
Watching in 2020 day 2 in liquid diet not gettin surgery just want a jumpstart to getting weight off again I had lost almost 70 lbs(217 highest lowest 149) but ive gained 50 back and it's so much harder getting off the 2nd time so thank you for this ♡
Leticia Rodrigues Girl, I’m so glad it helped you! You can do this. Don’t be scared. Just take it day by day- or hour by hour. You can do this. It’s time for you to be selfish and do what you need to in order to be your best self!
Thank you so much for this video! I am 3 days away from surgery and have not strayed from my 2 week liquid diet. That gum gave me life for the first few days!
Cindy it’s a true change and challenge but you can do this. I got home yesterday from hospital and was true to my liquid diet through Christmas! Hard but worth it. Feeling great and will see dr next Wednesday. Hang in there.
Ok so I'm on week 2 of my liquid diet before surgery. This video has helped me alot! Your speaking my language! I'm literally losing my mind right now.lol
@@monicaortiz5115 totally! So exciting! Although having this surgery at this time of year is difficult, you can do it. I did. It was tough. I wanted all the traditional holiday things. Just keep your eye set on the future and not the current moment of going without and it will work out. You’ve got this!
Omg mine is the 17th this video gave me hope to continue my liquid diet. 5 days already on the Liquid D ! But I’m so positive I will make it 👏🏻 thanks for this video, you vibes is everything ❤️
ForensicsOnTheScene You can do this. Yes, it will be hard- but you can do it. I will be honest, it’s going to be a HUGE mental game for you. You can do this though. You’re going to lose a ton of weight just within that 4 weeks but you have to stay focused. You might get angry and want to cry- but push through to your goals!!! I’m rooting for you!!!
Hi Gina, I’m Debra, My Surgery is March 17th, 2020, your Video just popped up on my RUclips Channel, and I’m glad it did. I’ve been doing the Keto diet which i love because I’ve lost about 35 pounds on it. I needed to loose weight before they would give me a Surgery date. I live in the UK, from Texas, but have lived here for nearly 18 years. Married my Lovely Husband here. But i do miss my family & friends in the states. I’ve been waiting for this surgery for years, but i finally got my Surgery Date and i can’t wait! I know it’s going to be the hardest thing in my life, hardest thing i will have ever done, but i know it will be worth it! But boy do i need a friend, especially a supportive friend. Thanks for sharing your Journey. I think i need to share mine, it does help to talk doesn’t it? I want to see your other videos if i can find them. Since its 2020 now, I’m sure you’ve done well
Thank you 😊 you were talking my language 😬😍 definitely we were in same boat . The funny thing is that you said it’s the carrots I never ever thought I would missed eating a carrot 😩
I had a lap band for 10 years and it eroded i was deathly ill and had it removed now im starting my 2 week preop diet for sleeve tomorrow. Thank you so much for the vids
You wasnt the only on that gets really mad when your hungry. I plus some of the other patients on the same hospital floor i knew a couple of them including me that were starving and from pancreatitis (without eating for 10days- no liquids either) or really bad stomach infection . I was there cause my surgery didn't go well (couldn't eat for 3wks). So YOU WASNT ALONE (I cursed one nurse out A LOT). thank God for Nurses, family and friends that can be understanding. I pray that since Nov till now your doing well :) Michelle
It's so nice to see people who can relate! Seriously, that's what I was hoping in doing these videos. I'm sorry your surgery was a rough experience, but I hope you are doing well and much better. I'm doing really well, just trying to stay the course.
I lost 27.6 lbs but had a lot to loose. It’s easier to lose a ton of weight when you weigh so much. I had NO schedule for eating. It was just about what I was eating. I didn’t starve myself- I seriously just was really restrictive on what I could eat. The only thing I made sure I got was 2-3 of my protein shakes (premiere protein) a day. Although that’s not clear- My doctor still wanted me to get protein and he allowed that while I did this. That was HUGE bc it helped with hunger.
if you just fast and keep doing clear diet, you will not need the surgery, because you will not eat after surgery too, is like fasting. I see a lot of surgeries with so many side effects, everything it takes work in life
Dana B Beleieve me- it was my main concern too. I was super nervous and had never done anything like it especially trying to live a normal life at the same time. You can do it.
This Is The Best Video Any One Can Make Describing The Exact Feelings About The (2) Week "Liquid Diet". Tomorrow Will Be My Last Day For My Whole 2 Weeks. My Surgery Day Is This Wednesday August 12. THE 2 WEEK LIQUID DIET IS REAL!!! 👍👍 On Your Video!!
Thank you so much for this!! I have to do this for 2 weeks & I’m already struggling with cravings! Did the weight stay off after the 2 weeks? I’m so worried about gaining it all back.
You are so welcome! I did this for my surgery so afterwards when I did have my surgery, I haven’t seen the weight gain. Normally, without the surgery, I would struggle with doing something this drastic and having weight gain. I wish you all the luck! You can do this!
Your awesome ❤️💕 thank you for all the good info, I'm on my 2nd day of my 10 day liquid diet. Listening to your video gave me alot of pointers thanks for your help 🙏🏼❤️
Thank you so much for sharing. Today is my first day of my two week pre op diet. I’m already struggling 🤦🏽♀️ I had a really great morning but this afternoon all of a sudden I started craving solid. I think it started after I had my chicken broth because it was so disgusting. I honestly want to take the others back and get a different brand.
Snow White I knew some people who made it- since I didn’t and didn’t have much knowledge on them, I just bought store bought organic. However, I’m not sure if it matters since you need the nutrients for both pre and post op. :)
Do you feel it’s possible to do this diet for 6 weeks in an attempt to double your weight loss. Or would it be almost impossible to stick to such a restrictive diet for over a month? Were you starving?
That would be a tuffy... I felt like I was really starting to get angry and moody around the 2 week mark. I guess anything is possible, but it would be rough. I almost wonder if your body would continue with such heavy weight loss or if it would shock your body after a while into a plateau. I'm curious to know if you do end up doing that.
there is a pre op diet that is 3 protein shakes and 2 meals..one is 3 oz protein and 1 cup cooked or 2 cups uncooked veggies and one is yogurt, cottage cheese, tuna, lunchmeat (no cheese) etc 3oz. Rest is clear liquids. Something like that might be doable for 4 weeks.
Miss Gina...thank you for sharing this video. I am going in for a hysterectomy in 2 weeks and I have a 3 day clear which I WAS scared of...not so much now...you addressed many of my fears of successfully completing Drs orders. One item I will share is I have a latex allergy and bananas have been off my menu for many years now. I find if I can smell a banana once in a while, I am satisfied internally. While my family is supportive, I have been pleasantly surprised with complete strangers reaction of support when I ask for a smell of their food...lol. With a brief explanation, I have made a new acquaintance. Thank you again.
I saw that Crystal Light energy yesterday but hesitated because it had caffeine and my surgeon said no caffeine. 😪. I was hoping you would’ve given a list of what you actually drank.
Thank you so much for sharing. I'm getting the duodenal switch very soon. I wrote down all your tips and it's definitely one day at a time, sometimes one hour at a time. You are such an inspiration. Can I call on you through FB? I just don't have many supporters in my family but I am determined to loss my weight. God Bless you for being so open!
Thank you so much! You can always DM me on my IG account gina_marie_utah. I don't use Facebook that often. It's definitely an hour at a time sometimes. You will get through it. It will be so worth it! It's exciting and I'm excited for you.
My surgery date is March 1st and your video had has helped me so much! I only have to do a liquid diet for 24 hours, but as I get near my surgery date I have felt like I've been out of my mind! 😭 I was thinking about backing out or if I'm going to regret it later on. Now I know I am not alone. Thank you for sharing!
You are so lucky... let me tell you. I know every doctor is different, but dang- the struggle is real. You can do this and it's totally worth it in the long run! Keep your chin up!
I wish you the best of luck and most of all most of all your tips really help me I need to go on my diet and lose weight I went from 247 I am now 204 on my own and just slow down my eating and it is a mental thing where we feel we need food and we don’t need food and I am in emotional eater when I get upset angry or when I get anxious or what I am overly tired that type a thing but you hang in there you have encourage me to hang in there wish you all the best see you soon or talk to you soon bye.
My friend said 2 weeks liquid wasnt that bad. For her. So "your going to go crazy your going to think you cant fo it." Dont relate to everyone. Dont let these comments scare you from trying. Every experience is different.
@@GinaMarieUT Thank you .. I know people that went through the surgery , And they had a partner to help them get through it all .. I have a very few people to talk to about everything .. Being alone makes it difficult as well .. But I know I can do it as long as I clean my house out of all food .. lol
Mark Wilson You know, sometimes that’s half the battle. If it’s not there- you won’t grab for it. I think it’s good that you are already prepping yourself for success.
your video is very helpful. I'm barely on my first day of the liquid diet, but even yesterday when I was at my pre-op appt. I was questioning whether I wanted to do this. Thank you. You make me feel better.
Seriously, that means the world to me. I am so glad! You can do this. Your mind will play tricks on you, but it's all about mind over matter. You will be so glad when it's all said and done.
Omg, finally someone that had the lapband fail. I feel so stressed that I am going to fail again. I was really successful with lap band for about 5 years and hen I got tired of throwing up and having pain from adhesions. 10 years later I am almost back to my weight pre band. What surgery did you have? My surgeon and I chose the RNY because of diabetes creeping up on me as well as GERD. So far, I only watched one video, but thank you ! Any tips or words of advice are appreciated. ChristyZ
Christy Zimmermann I actually choose the loop DS. Which is also called SADI Loop. It’s not the traditional DS. My uncle is a gastreobypass surgeon and recommended the doctor I went to and without hesitation he recommended that surgery. i still did my research. I wanted something to work. My grandma did the rny back in the day and had success. I think it’s whatever you feel comfortable with. It’s ultimately your body and your results. Let me know how it goes!
I just started my bariatric journey. I'll be having the Duodenal Switch before the end of this year. I love your story so I'm following you. Greetings from Knoxville, Tn

So glad that I found you. I'm on day 10 and I'm beyond hangry. I've avoided people all day to protect the innocent. I'm starving and I'm doing everything not to eat. 4 more days and I'll be using your tips to make it. Thank you!
You can do this! I’m so proud you’ve made it as long as you have! “Protect the innocent” lol!!! I hear you and you’re welcome!

I’m so glad you liked it! I feel like, for me, I get so hyper focused and distraction helps with changing my focus with food. If you have a project you are deeply involved in- time flies.

I know it’s going to be the hardest thing in my life, hardest thing i will have ever done, but i know it will be worth it! But boy do i need a friend, especially a supportive friend.

Debra Vogan that’s so awesome!!! I had to lose weight too. It sounds like you’ve been doing amazing! It will be worth it for sure. Keep at it!
My doctor said if I get hungry I can eat non starchy veggies with mushrooms. I have it on paper..🤷♀️
Jourdan Seymore lucky! That’s normally not the case from what I’ve seen. You’re lucky!
This is my first day liquid dieting I’ll be getting the gastric bypass.
Katapillar I’m sure you’ve done great!!! So exciting!!!

Thank you 😊 you were talking my language 😬😍 definitely we were in same boat . The funny thing is that you said it’s the carrots I never ever thought I would missed eating a carrot 😩

Lmaooo the edit at 10:10 when you're smelling the food throughout your office has me dying. I love it. So me.
Kaila Mullaney hahaha!!! Right?! Seriously, my life.
How much weight did you loose in 14 days doing this diet and also did you had a schedule on when to eat ?
I lost 27.6 lbs but had a lot to loose. It’s easier to lose a ton of weight when you weigh so much. I had NO schedule for eating. It was just about what I was eating. I didn’t starve myself- I seriously just was really restrictive on what I could eat. The only thing I made sure I got was 2-3 of my protein shakes (premiere protein) a day. Although that’s not clear- My doctor still wanted me to get protein and he allowed that while I did this. That was HUGE bc it helped with hunger.
if you just fast and keep doing clear diet, you will not need the surgery, because you will not eat after surgery too, is like fasting. I see a lot of surgeries with so many side effects, everything it takes work in life
This is nothing you want to do long term. It’s not healthy and may lead to an eating disorder.
Great video. I’m having my surgery in a few weeks and the liquid diet is my only concern
Dana B Beleieve me- it was my main concern too. I was super nervous and had never done anything like it especially trying to live a normal life at the same time. You can do it.
Gina Marie thank you kindly
IM SO GLAD I FOUND YOUR VIDEO: I SEEM TO RELATE TO YOU MORE THEN ANY BODY: IM HAVING MY SERGREY THE FIRST OF NOVEMBER: THANK YOU
Vonda Vaughn Thank you!!!! I’m so happy to help!
This Is The Best Video Any One Can Make Describing The Exact Feelings About The (2) Week "Liquid Diet". Tomorrow Will Be My Last Day For My Whole 2 Weeks. My Surgery Day Is This Wednesday August 12.
THE 2 WEEK LIQUID DIET IS REAL!!!
👍👍 On Your Video!!
Carol Miranda thank you so much! Yes- it’s very real. I’m excited for your surgery and wish you the best!
Thankful for this video, thank you for your time and advice, i am binge watching your videos and find you refreshing and enlightening ❤️
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this!! I have to do this for 2 weeks & I’m already struggling with cravings! Did the weight stay off after the 2 weeks? I’m so worried about gaining it all back.
You are so welcome! I did this for my surgery so afterwards when I did have my surgery, I haven’t seen the weight gain. Normally, without the surgery, I would struggle with doing something this drastic and having weight gain. I wish you all the luck! You can do this!
I start tomorrow. Yikes! It's so hard with all these Thanksgiving leftovers.
You can do this- but as I know, starting around this time, is very hard.
Starting mine tomorrow!!!! Plus working out I'm nervous but I'm ready!!!!!
Your awesome ❤️💕 thank you for all the good info, I'm on my 2nd day of my 10 day liquid diet. Listening to your video gave me alot of pointers thanks for your help 🙏🏼❤️
Monica Clemente Seriously, that makes me feel so glad! I’m so happy to help. That’s all I wanted. You can do this! I’m excited for you!
Thank you so much for sharing. Today is my first day of my two week pre op diet. I’m already struggling 🤦🏽♀️ I had a really great morning but this afternoon all of a sudden I started craving solid. I think it started after I had my chicken broth because it was so disgusting. I honestly want to take the others back and get a different brand.
I didn't see this comment- but switching brands may help huge!
Day 2 smh 🤦🏽♀️ I’m in hell
You’ve got this!
What's the pain after the surgery?
Wow I had to do 2 weeks before surgery boy your strong I had 24 hrs to do and 2 weeks liquids now I'm out 4 days and I just want to eat
mama27f I don’t think I’m that strong- but I totally get wanting to eat! Story of my life. Haha
what is the best chicken broth for pre /post op? Any store bought brand or suggest making it?
Snow White I knew some people who made it- since I didn’t and didn’t have much knowledge on them, I just bought store bought organic. However, I’m not sure if it matters since you need the nutrients for both pre and post op. :)
Thank you so much for sharing. I am going through the steps right now before I go through the surgery.
Joshua Castro you will do great! You can do this. Keep me updated!
Do you feel it’s possible to do this diet for 6 weeks in an attempt to double your weight loss. Or would it be almost impossible to stick to such a restrictive diet for over a month? Were you starving?
That would be a tuffy... I felt like I was really starting to get angry and moody around the 2 week mark. I guess anything is possible, but it would be rough. I almost wonder if your body would continue with such heavy weight loss or if it would shock your body after a while into a plateau. I'm curious to know if you do end up doing that.
there is a pre op diet that is 3 protein shakes and 2 meals..one is 3 oz protein and 1 cup cooked or 2 cups uncooked veggies and one is yogurt, cottage cheese, tuna, lunchmeat (no cheese) etc 3oz. Rest is clear liquids. Something like that might be doable for 4 weeks.
Miss Gina...thank you for sharing this video. I am going in for a hysterectomy in 2 weeks and I have a 3 day clear which I WAS scared of...not so much now...you addressed many of my fears of successfully completing Drs orders.
One item I will share is I have a latex allergy and bananas have been off my menu for many years now. I find if I can smell a banana once in a while, I am satisfied internally. While my family is supportive, I have been pleasantly surprised with complete strangers reaction of support when I ask for a smell of their food...lol. With a brief explanation, I have made a new acquaintance.
Thank you again.
I’m so glad!!! Thank you. I hope everything goes well for you!
I saw that Crystal Light energy yesterday but hesitated because it had caffeine and my surgeon said no caffeine. 😪. I was hoping you would’ve given a list of what you actually drank.
MissPurplePotato oh shoot!!! My doctor never mentioned that.
Thank you for the great tips. You did a wonderful job.
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for sharing. I'm getting the duodenal switch very soon. I wrote down all your tips and it's definitely one day at a time, sometimes one hour at a time. You are such an inspiration. Can I call on you through FB? I just don't have many supporters in my family but I am determined to loss my weight. God Bless you for being so open!
Thank you so much! You can always DM me on my IG account gina_marie_utah. I don't use Facebook that often. It's definitely an hour at a time sometimes. You will get through it. It will be so worth it! It's exciting and I'm excited for you.
My surgery date is March 1st and your video had has helped me so much! I only have to do a liquid diet for 24 hours, but as I get near my surgery date I have felt like I've been out of my mind! 😭 I was thinking about backing out or if I'm going to regret it later on. Now I know I am not alone. Thank you for sharing!
You are so lucky... let me tell you. I know every doctor is different, but dang- the struggle is real. You can do this and it's totally worth it in the long run! Keep your chin up!
samanthaov my surgery is the 28th and I am feeling the same
I wish you the best of luck and most of all most of all your tips really help me I need to go on my diet and lose weight I went from 247 I am now 204 on my own and just slow down my eating and it is a mental thing where we feel we need food and we don’t need food and I am in emotional eater when I get upset angry or when I get anxious or what I am overly tired that type a thing but you hang in there you have encourage me to hang in there wish you all the best see you soon or talk to you soon bye.
My friend said 2 weeks liquid wasnt that bad. For her. So "your going to go crazy your going to think you cant fo it." Dont relate to everyone. Dont let these comments scare you from trying. Every experience is different.
I start mine in the morning
TinasWorld You can do this!!!
New subscriber and I'm having surgery in a month .. I'm terrified that I'm gonna fail and eat normal food
Mark Wilson You’ll do great! Make sure to be kind to yourself, always educate yourself and just always try to constantly improve. You can do this!
Thanks .. I love to cook and eat so it's gonna be hard .. Realizing now how much I'm giving up .. Just keep telling myself I gotta to live longer
Mark Wilson You have the right mind set. Things have a way of working out. It will be good.
@@GinaMarieUT Thank you .. I know people that went through the surgery , And they had a partner to help them get through it all .. I have a very few people to talk to about everything .. Being alone makes it difficult as well .. But I know I can do it as long as I clean my house out of all food .. lol
Mark Wilson You know, sometimes that’s half the battle. If it’s not there- you won’t grab for it. I think it’s good that you are already prepping yourself for success.
Thank you for sharing....I needed to know before I have minds
Renea Jones you’re so welcome!
I am loving your videos and all the good tips you give. I'm going to get some Ice Cube gum tomorrow after my consultation
Josh Stewart Thank you!!! Seriously- it is no joke. I hope it helps you, like it helped me!
@@GinaMarieUT I'll keep u posted on my journey if you want.. Have a good day
Josh Stewart perfect! You too!
your video is very helpful. I'm barely on my first day of the liquid diet, but even yesterday when I was at my pre-op appt. I was questioning whether I wanted to do this. Thank you. You make me feel better.
Seriously, that means the world to me. I am so glad! You can do this. Your mind will play tricks on you, but it's all about mind over matter. You will be so glad when it's all said and done.
Omg, finally someone that had the lapband fail. I feel so stressed that I am going to fail again. I was really successful with lap band for about 5 years and hen I got tired of throwing up and having pain from adhesions. 10 years later I am almost back to my weight pre band. What surgery did you have? My surgeon and I chose the RNY because of diabetes creeping up on me as well as GERD. So far, I only watched one video, but thank you ! Any tips or words of advice are appreciated. ChristyZ
Christy Zimmermann I actually choose the loop DS. Which is also called SADI Loop. It’s not the traditional DS. My uncle is a gastreobypass surgeon and recommended the doctor I went to and without hesitation he recommended that surgery. i still did my research. I wanted something to work. My grandma did the rny back in the day and had success. I think it’s whatever you feel comfortable with. It’s ultimately your body and your results. Let me know how it goes!
Wait. .. u cant eat bbq or is that just during liquids?
HAHA! Only during my liquids. I was smelling it EVERYWHERE and wanted some.
This video was AMAZING♥️♥️♥️♥️
YES!!! I'm so glad you liked it!!!
