My surgery is tomorrow Tuesday May 17th so I too have been on Clear Liquids for the past week.

It really sucks.

Why do some have no clear liquid diet and others have 2 weeks? I've read the purpose is to shrink your liver so shouldn't it be the same for everyone?

My surgery was May 17th also.

When I am at home comfortably sitting my mind starts planning all the thing I think I can do. Because I don't feel tired in that moment my planned activity turns out too be way to much.

For example, this afternoon I drove 20 mins to my primary care physicians office to get a (non related) issue treated. Stood in line at counter for 5 minutes, sat in waiting room for 5 minutes then moved to exam room. Time spent in exam room was probably 15-20 minutes then I started to feel pain in my stomach. I sipped some Water but it didn't help much. So I went straight home without doing the 4 other activities on my list.

Took a pain med and sleep for 2 hours so I didn't make it to an evening support group meeting.

So I'm not sure if your body weakness is the same. I don't feel all the time like my body is weak, only after a physical activity when the pain flares up.

I hope this helps you!

I had surgery May 18th as well and I only needed to do the clear liquid diet the day before. My surgery was moved up all of a sudden so I didn't really do the liver shrinking diet but apparently since I am so young and do not drink, they didn't really see it as an issue.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
