April 23rd....nervous and excited

My date is April 23rd. Is anyone having a hard time with this liquid diet? I have been drinking Unjury, Isopure, different kinds of shakes and I am tired of everything already. I just started yesterday and I cheated today. It wasn't really bad but I had hard boiled egg whites and a small piece of boneless skinless chicken. Any suggestion??

Good luck with your surgery! I don't understand the difference between surgeon's and the pre-op diets. They seem to vary widely. I had bypass on 3/16 and my surgeon only required 3 days prior to surgery. I could not imagine 2 weeks. It's easy to do the liquid only after bypass but before it would be hard.

Just keep looking forward to the surgery and all that that means. You'll get your groove with it. Just try to make sure that the liquid has lots of Protein and hopefully that wards off hunger but I'm sure the only drinking gets boring.

I am having gastric bypass on April 22! I have a two week liquid diet and it's 3 - 4 Protein shakes a day. SF popsicles, SF Jello, broth and water/regular unsweet tea. I'm almost done with day 4. It's not easy. I'm eating too many sf popsicles I think. I had a small glass of V8 spicy juice on day 2 but the bariatric center told me I couldn't have it. Now I'm worried i'm eating too many popsicles. I also have used almond milk for some of my shakes but I need to ask about that too. Good Luck!! I'm both nervous and excited too!!

I am having surgery April 21!! Wow its right around the corner but I was put on a liquid diet 5 days prior to my surgery date. I'm very nervous and really excited at the same time. i struggled so bad with my weight for many of years after 6 kids its really time for me to think about my health. i have watched many videos and read many testimonies and I feel its the right time. This is gonna be a big life change for the better! Good luck on your journey to a healthier better you!!

It is different from each doctor of how long you have to do the liquid diet before surgery. I wish I knew why each doctor seeing things different. I went for my preregistration today April 16. Surgery is one week away on April 23 and I have been doing liquids one week and lost 15 pounds. I am now 259 pounds. I am getting excited but so nervous.
