First day on liquid diet!



Recommended Posts

So my surgery is September 28th and today is the first day of my liquid diet. 3 shakes, 2 yogurts,SF Jello and Popsicles. I'm having a really bad day so far, I have the worst headache ever and I want to kill anybody that even looks at me.. Lol Can anybody else relate? Any tips or suggestions to make this better? I need encouragement badly!!! Thanks in advance

My headaches got better around day 3. I was allowed to take Tylenol and that helped. Are you allowed broth or strained Soup? That's really helping me get through it (I'm currently in week 2).

Goodluck :)

Try a couple pinches of salt, you may be getting the "low carb flu" hopefully your headache will pass in two days or so. Also drinks lots of Water.< /p>

Good luck. sleeping is the best! You won't feel the headache. Try to keep your mind occupied, and do small things, like cleaning out kitchen drawers. I am glad otherwise you are dong well.

@@luzR I'm right with you! I started the liquid diet today with surgery on the 29th. I have wanted to eat everything in sight, but u did good with 4 Protein shakes, chicken broth and a ton of Water. Have felt a slight headache all day, have been told to just keep drinking fluids which should help!!! Good luck! You got this!!!

Thank you! Hopefully today is a better day, I'm going to include chicken broth today and see how it goes. Hopefully my body gets used to it soon..

good luck to you too, keep in touch

Good Luck my surgery is Sept 27 and the Dr said I have to loose 10 lbs I guess I should be on a liquid diet

My Dr didn't say how much I have to loose, he has me doing it to shrink my liver. Glad day one is over let's see how I do today.

Good luck on your surgery.

I am also struggling but staying on track. Today is day 3 for me. My headache was terrible yesterday and the day before. When I packed my son's lunch last night it was so hard. Sigh. I keep telling myself I chose to do this. ???? I hope today is better. I have to work the weekend and not looking forward to it.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
