Feel free to complain. We ALL get it, believe me!

But you're right.......it will get better. You just have to suck it up and get through the next 3 days. Day 4 will be a calk-walk compared to today.

Take it an hour at a time and drink lots of Water when you want to eat. It will fill you up (even just temporarily) and you'll be so busy going to the bathroom you won't have time to think about food (yeah, right as if.....).

YES. It sucks bad. By day ten you'll be hallucinating and just about to kill everyone around you. I can not tell you how worth it it will be to just get through it. Hang in there, you can do it. The next month will be a bit rough, but SOOO worth it. You got this.

When I had my sucky lap band surgery I had to do a 500cal liquid diet for a week prior to surgery. I am a nurse....I REALLY need my brain to work correctly at work. Well my brain does not work on only 500 calories of liquid! I was giving a new medication (via injection) and I read the dosage instructions 5 times and still managed to give the wrong dose. Fortunately it was just a hormone injection and it didn't hurt the patient! But this time I will be drinking 1500 calories on the days I work while I'm on my liquid diet. So the moral of my long story is to be careful while you're on your liquid diet... your brain is used to more calories!

Only a few more days to go! I know you don't want to hear this, but make sure you're drinking that Water - it's important. Also, make sure you're getting that Protein.

You got this!

OMG I was suffering too as I began yesterday. I have a major headache. I must say I even got anxiety today and called my surgeons office to ask if I could take my Xanax my PCP prescribed for me months ago. Luckily I can bc I was about to have a dizzy panic attack if there's such a thing. I'm not hungry just feeling bad physically as I detox all this junk out.

I was only required to do a liquid diet the day before surgery. It sucked really bad, especially since my surgery was delayed a day!

Just remember- this liquid diet won't end the day you have surgery- it continues for 3 weeks after your sleeved. I am on day 2 post op and it still sucks very bad.

Be sure this is really something you want to do. You won't ever be able to eat the way you did before. I miss food very badly. It is hard to cook for my family and not eat anything.

I am only consuming Popsicles, Protein shakes, Water & propel. Nothing else.

Did anyone have to stop there multi vits before surgery
