  1. I have seen and read a lot of posts on here that have mixed opinions about the pre-op (liquid diet). My doctor suggests a 14 day liquid diet consisting of 4 protein shakes and one 400-600 calorie meal a day. It has been a rough road! Day 3 I had a headache that wouldn't subside. I've had to say no the Valentine's Day chocolates, going to a buffet lunch with my in laws (who are in town), had to practice self control while grocery shopping and so on and so forth. I've missed food so much I've cried. I'm addicted and that's why my weight has gotten this high. This pre-op diet has forced me to face hunger. To feel what being hungry really feels like. To practice saying no to myself, my family and my friends. I'm now 6 days in to this diet and I'm feeling better. Sure I'm hungry and want some things but it's getting better. Saying no is getting easier. I am proud that I can do this pre-op diet. That even though I want to eat badly I'm not giving in. I'm learning how to take care of myself. This is just the beginning. So to anyone out there having a terrible day know that you're not alone. You'll have rough days. Days when you want to eat your sadness away. Days when you want just the texture of some food. But stick with the diet your doctor has put you on. This is just the start of your lifelong journey. You will be saying no a lot once you get the surgery so start now!

  9. I'm also having sleeve surgery in February 23. I am on day three of the liquid diet with one small meal and today has sucked. I have a horrible headache and am nauseous????. I'm hoping this feeling will subside soon. Good luck on the weight loss; I'm sure you'll lose it just fine!
  10. I am the same way! I talk to my husband and sometimes my sister but I know they don't want to hear about it. I've recently begun my journey and meet with my surgeon Wednesday and I am so excited/anxious! It's like now that I've made up my mind and am ready to change my life I just want to do it already. I keep telling the nurse who handles all of the appointments that I'm motivated. I probably sound like a stalker
