I usually only have protein shakes and some veggies during the day and then I get home and am hungry. Sigh. Almost done. Hopefully my liver is shrinking because I only lost 5 lbs so far...

I tried bone broth and omg gross. I’m going to try some regular old broth instead tonight.

I guess I am... I sort of take it for granted. I don’t drive 35 miles a week back and forth to work though let alone every day. Ugh. Sorry to hear that. I feel like I am going to blow this liquid diet. I just had A FEW crackers. Ugh.

I didn't have to do anything like that. I talked to a social worker for about 20 minutes and she asked me a few things but that was that.....easy peasy

The liquid diet sort of sucks but it is what it is...at this point I just have to accept it's what I have to do LOL I am only planning on a week off of work, but...I have flexibility to work from home if I need/want and I can take a few more days. Basically I am gonna wing it and see how I feel. My doctor didn't even mention time off of work..sigh LOL

I feel the same!! I am the 30th but cannot be soon enough!

Not yet. I’m just trying to get through this liquid diet without murdering someone 😂😂 I think by the weekend I will be anxious. Good luck to you!

Bypass. Yes, I’m counting down the days

I am not until the 30th

Lol. I have 10 more days ...but I will live. However my family may not! Haha

Good luck ladies! I’m on day 4 of my pre-op diet and about to rip someone’s head off. The mood swings are killing me. Not really hungry but I am a moody b+*^h

I am still pre-op for another 12.5 long days but i have the worst headache on this darn pre op liquid diet- i know it will go away but I just wanted to whine

You will be fine...the rate of complications is so low. I will probably feel this way though before my surgery in two weeks. Just keep telling yourself why you are doing it

Amen! LOL .....mine is the same way

I didn't really even have a discussion with my dr about it... but i ate a lot of carbs and I will be paying for it in the next few days. However, I am actually sick of food right now because I ate a lot more than I have been in months so hopefully I feel this way for two weeks LOL

I had way too many food funerals this past week so I really need to stay 100% these two weeks lol

I will probably get a headache from caffeine withdrawal but I think that will be the least of my worries. I cut back on the amount I drink- I'm down from an XL coffee to a Medium. But I know they said after you have to use cream or something like that and I drink my coffee black..so we shall see how that goes

This is a good preop diet if I have seen one...lots of options. I did somethign similar in the weeks up to this minus last week and it worked out well. I like the orgain premade but only 20g of Protein and the premier premade. I need to find a good powder for post op to keep costs down a bit ....I may check out the amazon one you mentioned. Doesn't sound bad at all. I am still allowed regular coffee these two weeks so that makes me happy. I will obviously not have any the day of surgery or after until we are allowed it again but I am glad I can have it now.

Oh yeah, i can have that stuff too- minus the creamy soups. But I dont have any desire to have jello or yogurt to be honest. I will save that for after. SF Popsicle too but it's cold as hell here....so I don't want anything cold. At least you only have to do a week

Good Luck. What are you having for your liquid diet? I am just having protein shakes, maybe a protein water depending if I get sick of shakes....and maybe broth if I feel the need. I can also have up to two cups of non starchy veggies if I want and need to take a fiber supplement .

I just started two week pre-op today. My surgery is at the end of the month- 1/30. I feel like I am bringing up the tail end here since everyone else is already having surgery this month or just in a few days. Impatiently waiting LOL Good luck to everyone this week and next! I'm sure in a few days I will be a hangry mess...today I will be fine because I am still full from all of the food I ate yesterday haha.....ugh

I started beginning of Oct....surgery will be 1/30- I had zero issues, but had to go through the same this as you for the most part. Didn't need a sleep study though and didn't have any extra cadio after the first visit. Nutritionist visits though weekly or bi-weekly for weigh ins. Starting liquids tomorrow for two weeks and then surgery day. It's just a process to prepare you. It's annoying and frustrating, sure, but seems to serve a purpose.....this isn't an overnight thing, it is a life changing journey.

They may have some things you don't expect.....I get my premier shakes at Coscto also. Price is better there than most other places. They have muscle milk (which some people seem to like) and Orgain Shakes also at Costco ....I love Costco I swear HAHA

HAHA I got a 12 pack at Costco today for 25 bucks I think....the 20g of protein ones. They only had the apple melon flavor.

I'd be pissed if my son ate them though. If he wants the SF ones that cost like 4 bucks a box that's okay but if he ate these I'd probably be mad as hell LOL
