Angie74 170 Posted February 2, 2016 my surgery is now February 23rd!!! I start the liquid diet on the Feb 8th and this will truly be a test of wills. I've never done an all liquid anything for more than a few hours, so for 14 days...ouch...just looking for others who will be going through the journey this month as well...

Angie74 170 Posted February 2, 2016 Oh wow, I see a lot of people are going to Mexico for this surgery. I am very thankful that my insurance covers it 100% - I wish you luck! ! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lastmemory318 9 Posted February 3, 2016 Febuary 15, and on day 3 of pre-op liquid diet. Brutal is the best word to describe it. I'm 550lbs truly hoping this helps me get down there. The fatigue during pre op diet is insane for me. Not to mention I hate artificial sweeteners so what I drink is very limited. Struggling big time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Struggling big time.I'm going to be struggling just like you so your not alone, I can't even imagine. I'm worried about the fatigue too because I have to work and my job is seated but fast paced and stressful uggg this is the part of the surgery I dread Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lastmemory318 9 Posted February 3, 2016 Sorry I can't be more help. I'm really struggling at this point, I'm lactose intolerant so the shakes are just brutal too. I just keep trying to stay focused. I know I need this so that helps but the stomach pain and fatigue is crazy. And for some odd reason I cannot stop going to the bathroom even though I've only had 3 Protein Shakes a day for 3 straight days. Maybe my body is just flushing I don't know.
