Days 1-3 are difficult, but then you begin adjusting by Day 4. I'm on Day 7 today and not feeling hunger too much anymore. The loose bowels are getting better too. This is really weird how the progression of this all goes. Hang in there. You'll get through it. I had a headache for Days 1-3 as well.

My liquid diet started this morning and my head is pounding

Tried caffeine? 50 years ago my grandfather had stage 4,terminal cancer. He said the worst pain was his headaches... They'd taken away his coffee... Got home before the end, had a cup and his headache vanished.

Just a thought.

My surgery is April 7. My father is in town and taking the entire family to dinner. Mexican food with amazing fajitas. (I'm in Houston).

I will be staying home while my husband takes the kids to dinner with the rest of my family. I've been fine but going to dinner and not eating would be tough.

I don't know if i could do this pre-op diet for 35 days. That's a long time to only be on 900 cal a day! I'm not permitted any solid food on my 2 week pre-op; only liquids and 800 calories a day max. I don't think I've come close to that yet! I wish you much luck sticking to it.

Hey guys :) April 12th surgery date. Doing the wonderful 14 day liquid diet. So glad someone said something about the BMs... I was wondering if that was normal!

Sent from my LG-LS995 using the BariatricPal App

HAHAHA Hayleyhehe. I was wondering the same thing when it first started! I googled it and found it is pretty much normal to experience it. I don't know how I'm going to work with this going on. Luckily Monday I only have half a day, off Tuesday for colonoscopy, and then Wed, Thur, and Friday. Then, surgery! I can't believe it is so close now.

Because im on the high end of the weight scale. My highest weight was 167kg. Before pre op diet was 150kg. Also the research shows that 6 weeks is optimal for liver shrinkage, although for paitent compliance 2 weeks is optimal as most cant manage 6. My doc and i discussed what i felt i could manage plus life commitments and we decided on 5 weeks

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
