Liquid Pre Op Diet

[yecats 109]

I will be sleeved on Feb. 4th.

I am almost afraid to say this, fearing it will change. I started the liquid diet on Jan 21st. It was tough for a few days,I even had a meltdown and wodered how I was going to do this. Then something just clicked and I am not even hungry at all. I keep hydrated and get in my protien. It has been a cakewalk since Mon.

I am feeling a little cloudy like I drank a glass of wine. I also work at a restaurant and can not believe how easy it has been. I notice I do get stressed easier. I am usaually pretty laid back. Prayer works !!!!

Wow Only 5 more days! I start my liquid diet today. I'm glad that you were able to get in the swing of things! It gives me hope... I'm not looking forward to mine but then again I do like structure and I won't have to think about what my next meal will be lol.

The first three days of the liquid diet are the toughest, IMO. Once you're through that, usually your head and body are in sync and things get somewhat easier. Not that it's easy, by any means.

Good luck to all of you!! It IS worth it.

Today was my last day of PRE-OP liquid diet. Surgery tomorrow and then on to POST-OP liquid diet I've heard its a little easier afterwards!

I had a similar experience... it wasn't all that hard, I just felt weird - not bad - not hungry - weird. Like my brain was swimming through Jello, which I am definitely not used to. Also, my muscles felt sluggish like after a work-out but before you get sore. I was also irritable and a little paler than usual, which upset people. But overall I'm proud of how well I handled seven days of no solid food!

I had my melt-down moment when my husband found it appropriate to drag me out to a restaurant, which he assured me had Soup - they didn't. Then he proceeded to sit in front of me and my glass of Water and eat a bowl of chili, a grilled cheese sandwich, a cheeseburger, fries, and a cookie. I could have scratched his face off!
