Hi! I am from SC and I am all ready for my sleeve surgery. I am 5 days into my 2wk diet and my surgery is set for March 9. 1pm I am so excited but a little nervous of the unknown changes that will occur. Anybody have any tips on the "no food, only liquids" the day before surgery?

Welcome and good luck! You will do fine. It's not that hard to follow the liquid diet. I had a 2 week pre-op diet but only the second week was liquid only. I had no problems with it. You probably won't as well. Just realize that every time you feel like eating that you drink something or eat broth, sugar free Jello or a sugar free popsicle. That's how I managed.

Soon you will be with us on the other side!

Thanks proud2beme! I am really looking forward to my surgery date. I only have to do all liquids 1 day before surgery, I definitely don't feel so bad now if you had to do a whole week. I have heard 2wks after surgery is all liquid but that even that is hard because your just not interested. Did you experience that after surgery?

I had 10 days pre-op liquids only, two days Clear Liquids in the hospital, one week full liquids at home, a week and a half of purees, two weeks of soft foods, and then regular cooked foods at one month.

If you have one day pre-op liquids only, you are one of few. The phases will be over before you know it.

Thanks Miss Mac. I am half way thru my no carb /sugar diet today. I had preop last Fri and from the time I officially weighed in at doc I lost 12 lbs. I weighed today and I am down 8 more. Oddly enough I can't tell. Next Tues is my all liquid day prior to surgery, that may be tough. I can't imagine your plan. How are you doing now? Are you glad you did it?
