4/20 here as well. Started my pre-op liquid diet last Monday. First couple of days were a little tough, feeling sluggish and fatigued but have adjusted now. Can't wait for the 20th to get here.

I completely understand. These first 2 days I have felt so drained. I'm hoping it does get better. April 20th will be here before we know it!

Day 6 and I am exhausted. I felt a little light headed earlier. I am hungry and was having thoughts to cancel surgery so I could just eat something other than liquids. I was hoping it would get easier and for me it's not. Can not wait til 4/20 gets here to get this procedure over with

I will definitely keep you in my prayers. I believe this is probably the hardest thing I've ever done. I've only been on the diet a couple of days but staying busy has been a life savor for me. You can do this! It's only temporary in the scheme of things. I try to keep reminding myself that.

Hi Ladies!

I am April 20th as well! Hang in there Aurangina! You are almost at the finish line, we all are. I was supposed to start the liquid diet on Monday but decided to start today figuring starting on a work day would be insanely difficult. I confess today was hell. I had a splitting headache, felt weak, exhausted and my brain was in a fog. HOWEVER, I know this is for a good cause and we are all almost there!

SO EXCITED!!!!! Counting the days. Can almost say 8 days to go!

Jill

Thank you so much. It may not be the worse for me but right now it sure feels like the end is near lol. I got light headed this morning. Day 7 half way to surgery... 1 more week I can do this!! We can do this...

Good luck! The headaches lasted 2 days but does get better, the fog never subsided for me. I feel like my brain is I'm a cloud. I am extremely tired. Just like everyone trying to focus on the prize of a better us.

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
