Pre-Op Liquid Diet... Does it get easier?



Recommended Posts

Yay!! I've got less than a week. I'm on day 8 and I'm sleepier and moodier than ever, lol. But, I'm trying to stay positive and trying to refrain from eating a slice of my coworkers' birthday cake, lol! We can do this!!! I know it! We're too close now to give up. Just think, in just a short time we will be sexier and healthier than ever! ;)

Andrea, you aren't allowed to say C-A-K-E. Lol. Haha a co-worker today was sitting at her desk eating honeycomb Cereal.. She didn't even know she was in danger! :-p Today is Day 8 here as well and I will say it's been much better. I am very sleepy as well though. So glad surgery is less than a week away! :-)

Day 7 for me, searched Pinterest for recipes for different shakes, so I am having a different flavour for each meal.

That's a great idea! I have been using PB2 in some of mine, makes it so much better!

Thank you @@KristenLe - it could be. I am very leary to take anything even if over the counter, I had a reaction to prescribed medication back in December and it has turned my life upside down and caused an enormous amount of health problems which is what actually led me here. I am still not back to myself. So I will just drink some black coffee and hope it goes away. That is a possibility though. It is pouring rain here this morning.

Awe, I hope the 6 months passes quickly! It seems so long!

Hey! I noticed you said that a prescription turned your life upside down and led you to this forum. Was the medication a steroid? I'm asking because, a steroid brought me here, too. They made my knees feel like they were breaking, made my face huge, and made me gain 50 pounds in 3 months. It was awful.

I start my liquid diet Tommorrow my surgery is scheduled for August 16 and I still have 3 lbs to lose by aug11 I'm worried I won't lose it

3 pounds by August 11th should be extremely easy to achieve, especially while on the liquid diet. I'm 90% sure you will lose even more than that. I lost 2 pounds on my first day of the liquid diet. Good luck! And please tell me how it goes. If you're struggling with this liquid diet, send me a message and vent. Venting definitely helps. And I'm more than willing to listen. :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
