So my surgery is September 28th and today is the first day of my liquid diet. 3 shakes, 2 yogurts,SF Jello and Popsicles. I'm having a really bad day so far, I have the worst headache ever and I want to kill anybody that even looks at me.. Lol Can anybody else relate? Any tips or suggestions to make this better? I need encouragement badly!!! Thanks in advance Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you all for your great advice! I made it thru 5 days and I'm feeling a little better, headaches are occasionally not all day anymore so that's a huge relief! 5 down 9 more days to go!!!! Any updates on you guys? How is everyone feeling?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You are so lucky you only have to do one week! Unfortunately I don't have any good advise I'm starting day 3 today and I'm still having a rough time, and a terrible headache. We just have to be strong and think is for a good cause. and I don't know how I've manage to do that, I've cooked full meals for my family the past to days and it's been torture! My husband says not to cook but I feel that if I can't handle it now I would never be able to, so I feel is good practice for after I get the surgery. Good luck to you! Keep in touch.

Today is my second day of my two weeks liquid diet. I'm aloud to have low sodium broth so I was wondering if I can make my own Soup with vegetables blend it and strain it? The store bought one tastes horrible Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
