My surgery is November 10th. I am on Day 7 of my 2 week liquid diet and I am still VERY hungry. How is everyone else doing on their liquid diets?

I'm LOL because I know you and I started the liquid diet at the same time, and today I want to chew my arm off. I've had so much to drink I feel like I'm going to drown, but I really want to "eat" something. With my docs orders I'm allowed to have something lite as an evening meal like a salad, but i did that last night, and it just didn't cut it.

I'm chewing gum.....

Hello, all. This is my first time on this website.

I'm scheduled for RNY this Thursday, Nov. 6th. I am so anxious to get it done. I'm on day 3 of a 5 day clear liquid pre-op diet. I also have a slight head cold/sinus infection. Grr. I got an antibiotic yesterday, and hope all stays well and out of my chest, so that they don't have to reschedule surgery.

Question: My tummy is rumbling with gas. I'm assuming from all liquids? Has anyone else had this? What did you consume during Clear Liquids?

Thanks for any and all support!

Hi. I sure hope you're better by Thursday. The antibiotics should help. If it were under different circumstances I'd tell you to have a couple shots of good bourbon with some honey in it and call me in the morning...... :D All kidding aside, I hope you feel better, and all goes smoothly for you on Thursday. Good Luck.

Dabliss thank you for the good, warm thoughts!! I got the call earlier that I check in at 10:15am tomorrow morning. I'm looking forward to a successful surgery, and for Jenn, shellbell79, and Lashante23 (Who should've been done today) to all be successful. I'll be in touch as soon as possible because I need to be there for the rest of my November buddies!!

Hi everyone! My surgery date is November 24th. I'm starting to have a mix of emotions I'm excited but a little nervous at the same time.

Mine is the day after. It's been such a long journey for me that it doesn't seem like it's really only 22 days away! Woo-hoo!

We've got this!

@@Time4ChangeNY - welcome! My surgery is the same day as yours. I am having an RNY - what are you having done? No liquid diet for me preop except for the day before. I don't know why some docs require that and others don't. I figure I will be way too stressed out the day before anyway to eat!

ready2B... I am also having RNY 11/10. I am also having a hiatal hernia repair and my gall bladder removed. I am very ready to have this surgery and to make some major changes in my life. I would love to keep in touch and encourage and support each other. Feel free to send me a personal message.

Hi. and Welcome to our little group. Your surgery is the day after mine. I'm going to add you as a friend. How's the liquid diet going for you? I'm hanging in there with it, but seem to always get a headache in the afternoon.

Keep in touch.

Deb

Deb, are you weening off caffeine? That'll give you some headaches..

      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
