Every surgeon has different standards and it is based on weight as well as a bunch 0f other things I have seen some who don't have to do any preop liquid diet and others up go 4 weeks on here

Some people need to do a 6 month diet and loose before surgery is even considered

I'm actually feeling pretty good physically today (day 5, also)! My headache is almost completely gone and the hunger only kicks in right before it's time for my next 'meal,' but I'm definitely starting to notice some of the emotional effects! I almost burst out crying today at work for literally no reason -- I'm actually in a good mood! I've always been super sensitive to my hormones, I'm on my period this week, AND I've lost 14lbs since Sunday. I'm trying to be nice to myself; my body's been through a lot already!

It's so nice to be able to just vent this stuff to be people who understand, though. My coworkers and friends are just like, "I couldn't do it!" and that's not helpful.... >_<

Yea I know exactly what you mean lol one day at a time. I dealt with it in a public family dinner last night where everyone was munching on bread and chili I was sipping my shake and they seem to be sensitive but they don't get it I love this app for this

Hello all so nice to hear I'm not alone on the preop diet. I'm on day 5 of 14. Surgery is 3/28. Down 12 pounds in 5 days on preop liquid diet, I swear that is what is motivating me right now and keeping me from eating, I could so go for eggs or a grilled chicken breast right now, lol. At least I'm craving good Protein I guess.

How long do u guys think I should be out of work for the gastric bypass ? I work as an medical assistant not to invasive but I already know the symptoms since I had a sleeve done before so I'm asking for some advice of how many days off? I'm thinking I should be ok with one week ?

I'm only taking a week because I am self employed so no work means no pay but I am prepared to cancel some of my work if I'm not up to it.
