I'm on day 4 of liquid protein diet , I'm sooooo hungry and terribly anxious....the last 2 weeks have been rough too ....insomnia from hell . Oh yes and I feel like I'm getting a cold , which means my surgery may be postponed .....not a fan of this idea.

just wanted to tell you good luck tomorrow....keep is updated on how you are.

..... I went last year and I just barely fit ....my wake up call was flying to Mexico this year and had no slack on the seatbelt and could just barely buckle it my husband was staring the whole time ...didn't say anything lucky for him , but his expression said it all .

tijuana is cartelville......maybe the surgeons are good but the city is by far not the safest place to be....Mexacali is a good choice , feel good about that .

yes my muscles hurt and iv had a lot of spasms in my back .

I've only lost 3 pounds .... I broke down and called my doctor's office lol. I asked her if I could at least have something hot at night when I go home I hate cold and sweet drinks I probably won't have another chocolate shake for years to come

My doc....who I think is super mean..LOL said4-5 a day to equal 90gm protein...a banana or apple or bowl of melon twice a day...... + 64 ounces of water last night I cheated a little and had a cup of broth with egg whites stirred in..... it was the bomb .... I needed a hot something that wasn't sweet or cold

25 days of liquid diet .... BLESS YOUR HEART SISTER !!! I'm on day 5 of 14 had a couple rough moments but I'm surviving ...I don't envy you .... Good luck .

I think I may go get me some broth.... That may help what ailed me ....mamma wants something HOT and not cold and sweet !

I see a lot of comments referring to head hunger. I'm trying to be more cognoscente of realizing when that is happening but being on a liquid diet has me reeling with hungry hungry thoughts , last night I felt like I needed to be caged up ...LOL . I wanted to cry a couple times I felt so hungry . I saw that Metamucil capsules can be helpful with that , has anyone tried this? Does head hunger actually make you physically feel hungry like your belly has the rumbly tumblys and everything or is that true hunger.....because if that's head hunger I'm in deep shit. Someone mentioned about there Family eating in front of them , I thought I'd be ok with this but I had the strongest reaction to my family making burgers last night , I was so agitated and again "starving" it was just upsetting , I hope this isn't what I have to look forward to post op, I'm getting kinda scared about it.

Jan 12 surg date .... Struggling with preop diet ...feel like I'm drowning in cold sweet liquids minus all the water I'm supposed to drink as well .....last night was rough , I'm better now though .... Good luck to those who are coming up..... Happy new year

My diet is all liquid , a banana and an apple each day ......... I'm working on the cheer ..LOL Happy New Year !

A lean cuisine sounds like heaven to me right now but I have to have 90 gm of liquid protein , an apple and a banana each day ... No mention of anything else .....my doctor doesn't play so I'm not wanting to take any chances. ...your LUCKEEEEEE

I'm definately pretty miserable pretty close to tears I'm so hungry ....but I'm holding back because I think crying over hunger is weak especially when there's people of the world experiencing REAL hunger.... I'm frustrated Cuz I read so many variations of the pre op diet I pretty much have the suckiest most difficult one to have. I have to keep reminding myself that I got myself in this situation so suck it up buttercup. .....I'll consider that zzzzquil , I'm Leary of sleep aides ....had a bad experience years back , but I'm breaking down to the idea of trying something.

Today was a sucky day for me ....I'm soooo hungry...protein shakes have all sorts of bloated and gassy and let's not mention THE RUNS ....mamma wants a hot meal :0(

Is there a happy fullness with the sleeve if you eat just the right amount

I'm glad I read this Cuz ima stuffer too ! I'm on the preop diet and having a hard time with it ....mamma wants to eat ! Not gonna do it though , hopefully tomorrow will be better .

Your lucky you get a small meal ... I'm preop diet day 2 ....strictly liquid protein 1 Apple and 1 banana a day ...plus 64 oz of water.... Ima drowning .... And just a little bitchy

Scheduled for surgery jan 12 .....the preop diet has me turned into a wind bag ... I feel so bloated and I have a hard time with getting In the water along with the liquid protein .....glaaaaaaaaa I'm drowning !

"At least you have a beautiful face "

I have told everyone ....even my patients ....iv gotten only just a couple less then desirable comments but overall the people that Matter have been supportive and I'm glad I did !

I would think they would be impressed by your decision to be healthier ..... You can't be fired for that so don't worry about it . Just do your job with good energy and enthusiasm and they'll be ok with it !
