Hi, day 2 was the hardest for me too. I'm now on day 4 and yesterday and today seem to be much easier (boring but easier). They do say the first 3 days are the hardest and it was the same when I tried doing the Lighterlife diet. So keep going and fingers crossed tomorrow will be easier. It's nice to know I'm not alone on this pre op diet as it's tougher than I think most people predict. I'm sure this will all be worth it in the long term.

My surgery is in 4 days and I was only asked to do liquids for 2 days. I believe it is because of cash pay. But I am wondering if you guys have any pointers for me? I have little ones and I cook for them a lot

I have young kids and i still had to cook for them while doing my pre op. Mine was 16 days of all liquids only.

Honestly, the only way i could do it was this. I would cook the family meal while sipping my Protein Powder broth. Once it was served i would vanish to a hot bath.

On pizza days i still vanish to the bath and im now 5 months post op.

Hi Roses1223, looks like were having it on the same day (25th), so exciting. I don't envy you having to cook for others but just try and keep I mind it will all be worth it. I'd try doing what gomekast suggested and maybe just try and keep changing your yoghurt flavours. I've also found the oxo cube with hot Water quite satisfying after just having the yoghurts, maybe having one of those when the kids eat will help?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
