Liquid diet day one pre op



Recommended Posts

I'm very nervous and questioning rather or not I can do this. After tonight I am on liquids only for the next four weeks. Right now it seems impossible to me, but I have no choice. How am I going to get through. ????

WOW....4 weeks! I had to do 2 weeks and I am not going to lie, it sucked. The hardest part of the journey in my opinion. Looking back now, I still can't believe I did it, but I did and I lost 10 pounds in 14 days.

The first 3-5 days are the hardest and then after you detox off of sugar and carbs it gets easier. I drank a lot of Vitamin Water Zero to keep me going and the electrolytes and Vitamins helped the fatigue and headaches. Piping hot chicken broth sipped out of a mug was somewhat satisfying when I got tired of the sweet sugar free dinks.

YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Oooooh, totally different post op, for me anyway. I had no real hunger or desire to eat for at least a week post op. Getting your Water in will be your top priority and with the tiny sips you are going to be taking, you will be sipping all day long.

sugar free ice pops and italian ice were both great post op because you sort of chewed something.

Good luck....before you know it, it will be a memory.

Ok so it's 5:48 and I've been on a liquid diet for almost a whole day, I haven't choked anyone or kicked any small animals.. It's hard, but not like I thought it would be... SO FAR.... I keep telling myself I can do this and I'm strong enough .!! So that's where im at.!

I'm on liquid day 3 pre-op. Day 1 was hard. I took lots of tylonal and ate lots of Jello. It's my 5 calorie wonder food. Keep it up it gets easier

I'm on day 6 pre op. I promise you it gets better. I have to remind myself to have a shake now. Truly am not hungry. So different than the first two days!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
