Yep! and 4 weeks liquid post op. the first 4 days were BRUTAL, but after that, its ok. you can do it!!

2 weeks is not unusual for those docs who do a pre-op diet - maybe half the docs require them (mine didn't, and doesn't even do a liquid only phase post-op, either.). Of those who do such diets,some do the liquids only thing while others just do some form of low carb, sometimes with a liquid component (like 2 shakes a day and a low carb meal.) There's lots of variations out there.

Me too!! And after my surgery June 11th it's 2 months of liquid diet. I'm scared as heck but so ready to try my best bc I'm more excited for good results if you know what I mean? I say that now, lying in my comfy bed the day BEFORE! Lol. Hopefully I will be singing the same tune in a day or two! :-p

I'm on day 2 if my pre-op and so far so good. 1 week of shakes and a small meal and then 1 week of shakes only. Drinking lots of Water so no headaches so far.

I'm on day 8 of my 14 day liquid diet... It just starred getting easy today! It was hard those first 7 days... I cheated with a tiny piece of Protein ( chicken breast) and a pickle... But remember to drink lots of water! The Water really helps keep u full.

I am almost done my first week of my pre-op diet and I already lost seven pounds!! I feel so motivated going into surgery!! June 11 can't come fast enough!

[mytime2shine 229]

How is this possible... How could I possibly be up 3 lbs in 3 days on this pre-op diet?!?!?!?!?

HELP?!?!?! I do not understand. I have been trying so hard & my only slip up was a small piece of orange chicken on Sunday. I can't make sense of this.

Any ideas?!?!?!!?

I hope I'm doing this right. I've never done a forum before. I'm having my surgery done in Tijuana in 3 weeks and I'm wanting to get an idea of what to expect.

I recommend that you start a new thread asking this in the Mexico forum. Lots of people have had it there and you shouldn't have any issues getting your questions answered.

Ignore it, it'll come off. Don't fret.

Thank you!

I'm really concerned though b/c my surgery day is Thursday!! I am just totally petrified that my surgery will be canceled b/c of this. I don't know what to do. I had been progressing right along on Week 1-- lost 9 lbs. Start 2nd week (more restrictive phase) and 3 days later BOOM, I'm up three lbs.

I'm sure most of this is just my nerves talking b/c I'm worried about having the surgery (never had surgery before)

Thanks for letting me vent!!!
