Thank you!

It’s surgery day!! Going in for my sleeve. Surgery start time is scheduled for 7:30. See you all on the other side!

I’m on day 11 of my liquid diet. I’m so excited for surgery Tuesday. I also dreamt I had food in my mouth and panicked and spit it out lol.

Awesome! For me it was fried chicken on the boat yesterday lol. It’s what we always eat at the sandbar, and I couldn’t. I will gladly be 13 pounds lighter instead.

I’ve completed 6 days of my liquid diet and am down 13 pounds so far! So happy. After day 3, I really turned the corner and feel great. Smells of certain foods have made me want the food, but it’s an emotion not an actual hunger. Trying to recognize that.

That’s great! After being in these forums it definitely seems like my surgeon is on the more stringent side of things.

They can. It is 7% of your weight the day you start the shakes, when you are there. So mine was 19 pounds. They said you have to get as close to that number as you can, and if you don’t, the doctor can postpone your surgery. According to them if you are doing exactly as they say you won’t have a problem losing that amount. If I do exactly as they say I better get the surgery no matter what lol. That’s how I feel.

I know. It’s crazy. The paperwork literally says no broth, and the dietician emphasized that during the class.

My doctor requires you to purchase the optifast shakes directly from him, at your two week pre-op appointment. You sign a form with the amount of weight you are, the weight required to lose by surgery day and that you understand you can only have the shakes, water, crystal light and sugar free jello.

Day 4 liquid diet here. I’m down 7 pounds. We are not allowed broth on our liquid diet 😭

Recidivist, my headache started last night at the end of Day one and has continued this morning. Yesterday I didn’t get too hungry but today at work is hard. I was dreaming of broccoli last night lol.

Sorry! Just realized this says bypass. I’m getting the sleeve. I’m on day 1 of my liquid diet. Clearly struggling with brain function lol.

March 5th

Starting my liquid diet today! 5 optiplex premade shakes, 160 cal each. Water, crystal light and sugar free jello. That’s all I’m allowed. Surgery March 5!

March 5th here!
