One week from today I am having gastric sleeve surgery. I am currently on a full liquid 800 calorie diet that started 3 days ago. Most people are on a liquid diet 4 to 5 days before surgery, but because I'm diabetic my surgeon wanted me to start 10 days before. I was wondering how many others had to be on a liquid diet for greater than 5 days before surgery also any advice or inspiration to help working through this constant hunger feeling???

I was on my pre-op liquid diet for 15 days and mine was only 450 calories a day! You got off easy!

As for advice, I would say it really starts getting a bit easier after day 3 or 4, but it does suck all the way through. Just hang in there!

@@TAK66 I did 14 days. I just upped the willpower and did it. There's not a whole lot you can do but know it will end.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
