I was on Facebook, but I find this forum much better. But if I decide to go back, I want in....now the important reason for my post...I am having the toughest time with my preop liquid diet. I spoke with my surgeon, his answer was to drink another shake. How much Protein is too much? I actually feel like I'm withdrawing from food. I have stomach pains, cramps, sweats, shaky and diarrhea. I know I'm a food addict and expected withdrawal, but this is super hard!! Is anyone else struggling like I am? My friends and family only help so much. They don't know what to say or how to help. I find when I can eat my one and only lean and green meal, I inhale it like I've never eaten before, and within 30 mins I'm so hungry again. I'm trying to stay busy and not think about it, but it's hard to do when you are feeling "sick". It's almost like I'm dope sick!! Needed ex to talk me down from the ledge on Friday night cuz all I wanted and thought about was eating. I've failed at every single diet I have ever done, obviously, so I'm so afraid I'm going to fail and it's 2 weeks of this. I'm welcome to any and all comments, suggestions and if I'm being a whiney baby, tell me that too! Just afraid of failing....again!!!! HELP!

Hello Everyone! I just got my date - April 15! I'm in the Dallas area and using Dr Veninga. Anyone else getting their GS in Dallas/Plano about the same time? I need to get my blood work done this week. I've been doing the Opt-Fast shakes since Friday. Doing OK...down 3 lbs in 2 days, which is amazing since I usually have to really work for every oz. My biggest fear is that the GS won't resolve my endocrine issues that have made it so hard so lose ( thyroid, POCS, insulin resistance). I so want to lose! I lost 85 lbs in 2006 thru diet and exercise, but 4 years later as I went thru menopause I could not keep it from coming back. I'm afraid I'm broken that way. I'm hoping very low calorie intake I'll do it for me. Anyone with similar issues? Any suggestions?

I too am not saying anything. Very few people know. I'm not having surgery until the end of May, but would love to join.

My surgery is tomorrow morning and I just bought sugar free Jello, pudding, fudge pops, popsicles, plain Greek yogurt, and bananas for my Protein Shakes. I figured that should be enough to hold me over at least for this week. I'll be on full liquids for 2wks post-op until I'm cleared for soft phase.

Fortunately I haven't been nervous or anything...why?...I'm not sure. I was more freaked out about preop appt, I guess I'm just ready to get it done. Best of luck to you and praying for a speedy and healthy recovery for you.
