So far, everything is fine. I don't have a headache, and my stomach isn't hurting as bad as I expected. I am hungry and yes, I do have cravings, but they're manageable. Is this a good sign? Or do the hunger pangs usually come later; like on day 2 and 3? I'm trying to remain positive, but I'm still worried that maybe the hunger pangs will sneak up on me, lol. >_< I've heard many people say that day 1 and 2 are the worst, and that by day 5, the hunger usually completely goes away.

This is what I've had so far:
Breakfast - 1 Muscle Milk Protein Shake (20g Protein, 130 calories), 1 Light & Fit Yogurt (70 calories)
lunch - 1 Muscle Milk Protein shake, 1 Light & Fit Yogurt, 1 cup of Cream of chicken Soup (Diluted with Water and spit out the chicken, lol. -_-)
dinner - I haven't had dinner yet, but I plan on drinking another Muscle Milk with a yogurt, and maybe some chicken broth. I may go to bed early so I can avoid the cravings, haha. :rolleyes: Good thing I don't get burnt out on things in just a week. So, drinking Muscle Milk and yogurt will be pretty easy, especially since they taste amazing.

I've love to hear your experiences.

Thank goodness I only have to do this for 1 week. ;-)

EDIT: I swallowed a few very tiny pieces of chicken when I was eating my cream of chicken soup. Is this ok? Next time I will strain the soup.

I am on day two of the liquid pre-op. They tell me no caffeine, but herbal teas are ok. I accidentally had tea with caffeine, and I feel awesome.

How strict is this no caffeine rule? I'm gonna try to follow it, but man was it nice.

I think it's more important post-op (dehydration) but you can cut down gradually pre-op.

Day 1 liquid diet for me and the caffeine withdrawal is almost unbearable. No idea it would be this hard to wean off soda.

See, I don't have this problem with caffeine. I drink it all the time, but going without it doesn't bother me. I don't know if it's because I take adderall or what. Did your doctor tell you absolutely no caffeine?

Hahaha! I know, right! The caffeine rule for me isn't that strict. They told me to limit it as much as possible, but I'm avoiding it completely since I don't usually have withdrawals from being without it.

I start my liquid diet in 2 weeks, what's the importance of no caffeine? My nutritionist didn't really go into it.

No caffeine postop because it can cause ulcers and dehydration. I believe they recommend weaning off of it preop so you're not dealing with caffeine withdrawal after surgery.

        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!

      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
