I am on day 2 of my liquid diet and I am having withdraws too. I feel horrible today. I hope this passes!

Day one of liquid diet complete!! Not too bad!! Lol we'll see what day 2 brings!

Thinking of you @@Mommabird!! Best wishes tomorrow! You'll do great, everything will be fine!

I start my 2 week liquid diet on Tuesday the 9th. My surgery is the 23rd. I'm glad I found this forum to help me with what's to come after I start the liquid diet. I am going to be on strictly liquids with Sf jello and Sf Popsicles. I have no doubt this is going to be the hardest thing I've ever done in my life yet. It makes me really nervous. But I know how important it is for surgery and to prepare. I'm concerned bc right now I am taking a lot of med and get really nauseous if I don't eat with them. Also hypoglycemic, so I'm sure I will feel a few waves of nausea, but just have to keep up with the protein drinks and take it a day at a time!!

He will be Angie!! Mine is the 23rd and I have been praying and praying and praying! God will be with us through everything!!

Wishing the best to both of you on your surgeries!! My surgery date is December 23rd. I'm so nervous now, can't imagine how I'll be when it comes down to 3 days away! Please keep us updated!

What brand of protein shakes is everyone using?

Wow! Sounds pretty simple! I definitely will! Again, thank you so so much! There has been great info on here in regard to people having previous blood clots and what they do to prevent future ones too. Very informative and makes me feel a lot better! :-)

Yes! This helps a lot! Thank you so much for sharing! That sounds like what they may do for me! How/where did they put the filter in? Were you put in the hospital before your actual surgery then?

Thank you so much @@ready2B!!

Hi! They do that because your liver hangs over your stomach, so they need to move it out of the way. The smaller it is the easier it is to move. So the diet shrinks the liver and makes you lose weight to help shrink it as well. Very very crucial!! :-)

I have my preop class and I meet with my surgeon all on the 8th and will start my 2 week liquid diet on the 9th. My bmi is about 58, so definitely need to do that. Its going to be so hard, but yes so so important!!

I start my 2 week liquid diet on the 9th too. I have about 150-185 pounds to lose. Its going to be a long process, but I am so ready! :-)

@@Janrn91 I am so glad to hear your surgery went well! Cant believe you had such a huge hernia! I'm glad. The surgeon was able to take care of it! Still thinking of you! Please keep us updated!

Hi @@TillyBean and @@be_satisfied of course!! I would love to keep in contact! I hadn't seen anyone on here yet with my same date, so that is really exciting to hear! What a Christmas gift huh? When is everyone's pre-op class? Mine is December 8th and my 2 week liquid diet will start Dec 9th!
