wittygirl 28 Posted May 28, 2014 Hi I'm scheduled for surgery on June 18th and I'm super scared and excited! I start my liquid diet on June 4th but I'm so scared of not succeeding because I'm still struggling with giving up fatty foods. You are going to do just fine. We all believe in you! The next step is surgery....I bet you can hardly wait. Best of luck to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ripper 76 Posted May 28, 2014 Just a bit of an update on my progress on the 14 day pre-op liquid diet. Started day #7 and have lost 10lbs. It works, even though sometimes you feel like it does not. For those who are looking to start this soon, take my advice...DON'T WEIGH YOURSELF EVERYDAY! You will get discouraged when you don't lose. Have faith, if you are not cheating, it will work. Good Luck to all. 1 ho11ieberry06 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have faith, if you are not cheating, it will work. Good Luck to all. I'm on a day 4 of 10 day liquid diet, lost 5lbs. I still cook for my family, I have to feed the kids :-) it's okay but it's the hardest at dinner time, but my surgery is in 7 days that's one week and that keeps me going.

amandaseiders 13 Posted May 28, 2014 For people that are doing a pre-op liquid diet, are you guys doing your Vitamins already too? I just find it so weird that I wasn't instructed to do a liquid diet before my surgery... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I was told to take Centrum Multivitamins every day till the surgery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amandaseiders 13 Posted May 28, 2014 Ok well I already take a multi Vitamin everyday so maybe I will try to replace at least some of my meals with Protein Shakes just to try to start getting used to it. I only have 1 week to go! June 4th is coming quick!!! Do you guys know what all Vitamins you'll have to do post-op yet? My doctor said multivitamins, vitamin b-12, and Calcium. I was kinda shocked to hear there was only 3 because I remember hearing stories about people having to take "so many" vitamins the rest of their lives.

After the surgery I was told to take multivitamins but they have to be chewable as well as B12 after few weeks and calcium all chewable, People that take a lot of vitamins all there life is people who had bi-pass Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
