Me too...I'm on day 7. The first 5 days were horrible, but yesterday I seemed to have turned a corner. Thank goodness because I am one of those people that gets "hangry" and for those first 5 days, I wanted to kill everyone and everything in my path! LOL!

However, I will say that warm liquids are your friend and will help you to feel the most satisfied. Try to stick with those! Hang in there! You CAN do this!!!

I'm on the pre-op diet to at the moment, day six for me. Mine is two shakes and then light dinner, so not 100% liquid. I definitely felt like it got easier after the third day. Day 2 and 3 were really rough. I was hungry and tired pretty much all day. Day 6 though and I'm doing alright.

So, with it only being 2 days you probably won't have time to get "used" to it, but this phase will be over soon at least.

Some people need to do two weeks. You can do two days

My surgery is tomorrow, Jun 7th. I've been on this liquid diet for two weeks! I'm down 13 lbs. I'm a 54 yr old male war veteran and haven't been this nervous in a long time. Is it too late to change my mind? Maybe I just won't show up. Will they come looking for me? Lol

I do not think they will most definitely go looking for you, but it will just be your loss.

You came to far to turn back or have al change of mind. There is also lot we have to go through for this special gift that GOD has awarded you a NEW LIFE. DO NOT GIVE UP, HANG IN THERE.I promise you you will be soooooooooo much happier later.☺☺

Keep drinking fluids...whatever your plan allows because it definitely helps. I'm on Day 9 of 14 and it's definitely gotten better. For me, it's been a good lesson in what is actual hunger and what is "head" hunger.

You WILL make it!

      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.
