Pre op liquid diet Sucks



Recommended Posts

Ok, my surgery is on Wednesday the 17th and my dr put me on a liquid diet since Monday the 8th and I am having such a hard time. I've been doing well but I am very hungry and I feel very weak and dizzy. Sometimes I feel like I'm going to pass out. Is anyone one else struggling with this? Please share. Support is needed. I feel like I can't do this but I'm barely hanging on.

I did! I struggled really hard. I felt lightheaded and dizzy...and omg grumpy! It is day before my surgery and I am still grumpy and struggling. I have eaten Jello, sugar free popsicles, pickles (no sugar added, the only thing that they would let me eat), chewed gum, & I started to eat my shoe. But I have made it. I did buy me some of the sugar free syrups that everyone talks about and have added those to the Protein Drinks. They helped a lot...but it still is not a cure all. Hang in there...you can do it....if I can do it anyone can do it. :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
