Hang in there!!! Once the sleeve is done it will be worth all the struggle! I cant wait for mine!!!

You have no idea how much you will love your sleeve. It is the single best thing I've done for myself. Think of your pre-op as conditioning for a race. Do the hard work so that you can have your surgery. The way you will feel after surgery and in the coming months will not ever been 1/10th as hard as any diet before hand. It's hard it sucks, you can do it though!

It gets easier I promise. It will help your liver be in good shape and reduce your carb cravings. I know it sucks but you can do it and you will be glad you did!!

I'm right there with you! Thankfully I can have veggies too but it is boring already!

I am on day 7 of my 14 day liquid diet! I feel your pain! But we will get through this! I had a weak moment last night and actually cried when I smelled the tacos that my family was eating! But I got through it (with alot of help from this board) and I kept thinking about how this is my choice. I choose to not eat because I choose to be healthier with the help of surgery! We can do this! Be strong!!!!

Ok, so this pre op is simply a means to and end! How bad do you want the end? The end being the surgery and subsequent weight loss and health!

This is what you keep in the front of your mind when you feel you are struggling and feeling bad! Just imagine 100 lbs from now,, this will all be worth it!

Go Sister GO!

Hey kiddo, are you allowed to have Protein Shakes? They help... You can do this--it's not easy, but you CAN do this.

I was on a 14 day liquid diet. Protein shakes help a lot. I only had to do clear for one day and full liquid for 13.

The first four days were torture for me but something happened on day five and things got easier each day until surgery. Hang in there.

Thank you so much everyone for your words of encouragement. I am doing alot better today....I think my problem yesterday was that I was off of work and it was raining all day so I was stuck in the house!!! I am working today and I think I will do a TON better!!!!! I am so excited to get my surgery and I know that this is only the start of my new life!!

I know exactly how you are feeling. The pre-op diet is very challenging. I remember at one point I opened the refrigerator and saw my husbands salad and thought OMG how good it would feel to just munch on one little piece of lettuce.

But each day does get better and you will feel like you have accomplished a lot just getting through the pre-op diet.

I hope you are having the Protein Shakes as that really helps a lot. Remember you can do this! We are all behind you cheering you on.

You will soon be on the losers bench with the rest of us and it feels good.

[Lila21 36]

We all felt that way, I PROMISE!!!! but you WILL get through it. And on the other side, you'll be so glad you did!

I know exactly what you mean and how u feel. Today is day 2 of my 2 week pre-op diet. The only thing I can have is broth, Protein Shakes, sugar-free popsicles, Jello and drinks. Some of the other blogs that I have read talk about eating pudding or doing the Atkins diet for the pre-op diet. It seems like they have to do it for only 3 days too, I am not sure why we have to do it for sooooo long. I am assuming that if you are at the same place I am then your sleeve date must be Aug. 9th too? I just pray that I have the strength to get through the next 2 weeks. The hardest part is still preparing meals for my 2 daughters. I will keep you in my prayers that you find the strength to do it. I am so glad I found someone doing the 2 week diet too.
