MamaRhea 56 Posted December 14, 2016 Here we go! After 11 months of jumping through hoops with my insurance company, I am finally approved for a surgery date of 12/28! Today is the first day of the liquid diet. I'm doing plenty of Water, the 4 daily Protein Shakes, sugar free Jello, and sugar free Popsicles, and broth. I must admit that I'm already feeling strange. It's been about 20 hours since I last ate, and the headaches/shakiness/weakness is beginning to set in. In told that the first couple days are the worst, so I'm hanging in there! Anyone else in their pre-op diet too? Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleeveisa 333 Posted December 15, 2016 Yes, u will feel different but your body is detoxing. Don't stand up fast, Water Water and postive thoughts will help you. Good lu c k Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MamaRhea 56 Posted December 15, 2016 Okay! Starting day 2. I'm down two and a half pounds and I'm still going strong. I am starting to get cold symptoms though, and I'm not sure if this is a side effect of the liquid diet or if I'm actually getting sick. It's pretty miserable either way. Pounding headache, sore throat, weak and shaky etcetera etcetera. This is going to sound crazy but I literally had dreams about cheeseburgers last night. This is going to take a lot of willpower, but I just keep telling myself that it will be all worth it a year or so from now when I'm at my goal weight. Is it bad that I'm already sick of the Protein shakes? LOL Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MamaRhea 56 Posted December 17, 2016 Starting day 4 and I'm down a total of 10 pounds! This has gotten much much easier. The cravings aren't as strong, the hunger isn't as bad, and I feel loads better. I am now totally confident that I can survive these 2 weeks Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
