Is this liquid diet business killing anyone else? Of course the day I started, I got my period. Like, really?! It's only day 3 and I'm already overwhelmed. =\

I don't start my liquid diet til the 11th, but I know I will be feeling the same as you. Try to remember to keep your eye on the prize! Hang in there and keep at it :)

I'm on day 5 and I think someone sucked my mojo out of me. I have ZERO energy. Its all I have to shower and get dressed for work. I'm on 5 c 2% milk w 5 pkgs of carnation Breakfast no sugar added. And then I can have s/f Jello and 2 c broth a day. Grrrr and I'm on long days...26 hrs and I'm not happy lol.

My preop wasn't really that bad, most of the trouble was in my head. I'm completely bored with liquid though. My surgery is at 12:30 today, and it just feels so surreal.

I was also miserable on the pre-op diet. I started it on 1/14 and ended today day surgery. when i realized that i needed to drink extra Water I was drinking about 96oz I was also eating what I was allowed to every two hours i felt much better. After day 3 my anger went away. . I lost 18lbs and I feel great I dropped two pants sizes. I am not saying it was easy but water and eating helped. I was straight up mean for the first 3 days! I was told to drink 4 8oz Protein Shakes a day. 3oz of chick raw veggies oatmeal, sugar free ice pops, Jello and pudding, and Greek yogurt. I mixed the sf pudding with the yogurt it's now my new favorite food. It's great with vanilla or chocolate! I was allowed to drink anything sugar free and Decaf. I could also use lemon and lime! I made use fresh lime for Salad Dressing on my raw veggies with chicken and I put a dollop of greet yogurt on the chicken! Very good surprisingly! I put sugar free flavored Syrup or extract to the shakes. (You can find it in the coffee isle. After the first 8 days I was able to cut out a lot of the food and just have shakes. I hope this helps! I didn't like the predict but today after weighing myself down 18lbs and yesterday and old pair of jeans fitting! I freaken love it! Lol if you have any questions don't hesitate to personal message me.

So today is Clear Liquids. Then to the hospital for 6:30am Wednesday. It is getting very real and I am scared as hell. I shouldn't be since I have been watching my rockstar wife for three weeks since hers. I just keep thinking what could go wrong and what if I never see anyone again. I know it is stupid but seems really valid today for some reason. I am normally a very optimistic person but I am worried. Well time to put on the big boy undies and make today great so that tomorrow I can start to live the rest of my life!

Today is Day 5 for me. Yes, it's tough. I have no energy. I'm chewing gum a lot and it seems to be helping. I just realized this morning that I'm dehydrated and need to drink more. I'm not allowed to let anything solid pass my lips except a Protein Bar once a day. The rest is all clear liquids. I'm with you. But I keep thinking about the end result. I don't want to do anything to jeopardize my health or the surgery.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
