Just Started Liquid Diet Today! Please Pray



Recommended Posts

I also started mine today and it has been a long' date=' ugly day! Dealt with hunger off and on throughout the day, so I drank a lot of Water and it seemed to pass. Right now I have a dull headache and am starving and am not sleepy at all. I am trying to be positive because every pound I lose today is one less I will have to lose after surgery, and this is preparing me for a period of bland, boring food.

Good luck Amanda![/quote']

You dont have to eat bland boring food. The doctor didnt say you cannot add spices. Just make sure there is no added sugar in it.

Surgery date -Sept 14

I'm on day 6 of my pre op diet. I can't believe I haven't cheated once. My husband isn't out of shape but agreed to do the liquid diet with me so it's a competition thing. I checked his pockets one day and saw that he purchased a sandwich. I laughed to myself and never mentioned. I really appreciate him being supportive and trying to make this fun for me. I'm having my surgery on 9/13/12 my friends want to hv a celebration the evening before, not sure if I should allow them to because, I can't eat, drink and be much fun. They said give them a list of things I need for my hospital stay so I can get some cute gifts. Any suggestions?

Cute gifts could include an eye mask, pillow (or stuffed animal /pillow pet) for your tummy, heat packs, cute slippers for walking the halls, ear plugs, chap sticks, reading materials, thermos type cup to keep cold things cold or warm things warm.

First day of pre op diet for me today as well. I have a call into my PCP about my diabetic meds. I took my 10 mg glipizide and 1000 mg of meteor min this morning. It was too much apparently as I have bottomed out several times today. Nurse called back and will hold off the evening glipizide, method min and lantus. I am currently at 73 and did take several glucose tablets today. Anyone else have to adjust this quickly? I will talk to doctor tomorrow. He was in ER all day today.

Finished week one of my two week pre-op liquid diet, down 8 pounds. Even though at times it has been hard, it was nice having friends at work today tell me they can already tell I'm losing weight! I can definitely tell in my clothes and inches. I will now go have another shake!

Oh thank you for posting this! I’m not excited to do the liquid diet, so I’m glad to see that you’re not totally hating it lol. Keep up the great work!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
