Four Days Til Liquid Diet



Recommended Posts

First, I'd liked to say I really have enjoyed this app and have found it extremely helpful. I'm 37, 315lbs. Four days out from start of liqud diet. Right now I'm having pain in my fatty inlarged liver. Doc says the diet will shrink it so hopefully it will stop hurting. I'm very excited about having this surgery done.

Welcome to the board! This really is a great bunch of people; I wish you the best of luck with your surgery! I am 17 days post op from my revision to RNY surgery and am glad I found this board shortly before my surgery.

Kelly- as far as pre-op liquid diet; the first few days are rough. I found mixing up the shake flavors kept it interesting. Drink lots of fluids in between shakes as well. For my pre op diet I was allowed to have 2 cups of veggies a day (which helped me a lot) but it all depends on your surgeons pre-op plan. Just try to take it day by day! You can do it! Best of luck.

Aww yeah it's a long 2 weeks; but try to keep focus on each day (and it is pretty sweet when you get on the scale before surgery and see the lbs have already started to melt away) this too shall pass :)

Good luck. Just had my surgery done. I stuck with the 2 week Protein Shakes and Water. My dr fixed a hernia that I had if he wouldn't have done that I wouldn't be hurting at all. I feel kinda week at times but that is normal. Just try to walk alot too and you will do great. Good luck.

I don't know what to say but I failed, after five days I gave in and ate some meet. Although I feel a lot better I didn't enjoy it. I feel more determined to do this. Do I tell my doc? Will I have to resceduale? Funny thing is my live pain went down significantly the last few days. Now its starting to come back.

Definitely don't tell your doc I was told that if your liver is too large on surgery day they just switch your surgery from lap to open so keep that in mind for the rest of your diet they had me so scared that I only cheated 1 time on the liquid diet and alls I ate was a little bit of popcorn and some twizzlers at the movies 2 days before surgery!! Sending you hugs and just know you can do anything you set your mind to!!

It's interesting because my dr is not requiring me to do a liquid diet except for the day before and he rarely does open bypass surgery... Makes me wonder how the drs decide what we are supposed to be doing pre- op if the requirements are so different. My friend who just had surgery a week ago with a different dr only had to do liquid diet for two days and had no issues with having it done as a lap. It's just confusing

The doctor I'm going to told me to do a liquid diet a week before. I'm currently in it and it SUCKS! I want to cry! I haven't cheated and the closer I get the less I want to cheat but the harder it is! I have my surgery on Tuesday the 24th! But I want popcorn so bad! I want a hotdog so bad! I want chicken strips with rice so bad! I want a gigantic triple bacon cheese burger!

If your hungry and your going to cheat put something in your Protein Shake to make it taste better. chocolate Protein with Peanut Butter and a tsp of instant coffee make it taste good. Get creative! Make a vegatbla Soup and puree it. I put garlic, onions, squash, and it was the best! Stay strong. I am on day 6. One more day left!!!!

      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
