Asdf12345 12 Posted June 3, 2014 I am one month exactly behind you. I can tell you I am already nervous. Maybe I'm stupid, but I'm not nervous. Excited would be a better discreption. Now ask me how I feel the day before the operation and you will likely geet a different answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lizjim30 11 Posted June 3, 2014 I am going to have surgery on 06/11. I started my liquid diet yesterday. Are you excited? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DursiDFW 0 Posted June 4, 2014 I'm scheduled for the 16th, but I don't start my liquid diet until the 9th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
debradebra 1 Posted June 4, 2014 I will be having my surgery June 19 th. Can't wait to finally begin the hard work. Good luck to you on your surgery, I'll be right behind you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerweav 24 Posted June 4, 2014 I'm on the 19th and I start my liquid diet tomorrow. Did a trial run yesterday and today. Not bad, but I'm sure it'll get old! I plan on eating a light dinner tonight before I go full force in the morning. Best wishes to you!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juliarg 37 Posted June 4, 2014 I'm on June 16 too. Started the liquid diet three days ago and I'm a little low energy but otherwise surviving ok. A little worried about a big dinner that I have to go to for work on June 12, and really worried about getting back to work after the surgery - I can take a full week off and then a week of working from home but after that really need to show up in the office if possible. Is anyone else kind of in shock that they're actually doing this? Good luck to all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flowerpower11 5 Posted June 4, 2014 Yes - June 16th for me as well. This is day 3 of the pre-op diet. It has been a little difficult, but I am determined! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karenalford1 0 Posted June 5, 2014 I am also June 16th. Pre-op appt tomorrow. Been on liquid diet for 3 days now. Getting used to it but not loving the continual sweetness of the shakes. Looking forward to keeping in touch with u all as we progress! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asdf12345 12 Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) I'm completely gung ho about getting this done. Having said that, last night my stomach starget getting upset, like I wanted to throw up from the liquid diet. I am a little bit scared that i will basically live off those same high Protein shakes for weeks after the surgery. I hope my stomach learns to tolerate them better than it is now, or the next month is going to be miserable. Edited June 5, 2014 by Asdf12345 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jjinWA 511 Posted June 5, 2014 All drs are different in what they require. And the current weight is also a big factor in what is required for pre-op. At least that is what my surgeon told me yesterday. The higher the BMI, the longer the pre-op diet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
