Ash_Bri85 37 Posted August 3, 2017 I got my date!!! August 30th. Start my liquid diet on August 16th. Any tips on how to make the best of the liquid diet, how to best prepare for the hospital, etc? I will have a two night hospital stay. I'm so nervous. I'm dreading loose skin and leary of what my future holds. My husband and I are separated and we have two kids who live with me at home. Any tips for my nerves? Lol. 1 mybariatricjourney reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vsgdon 32 Posted August 3, 2017 I am on day 11 of my liquid diet. The first week was a breeze but the past 2 days have been tough. I feel like I hit a wall.... no energy, could sleep all day. My surgery is monday. Every time I stand up or bend over, I get light headed. I made some scrabbled egg whites and a handfull of turkey yesterday. I am on vacation in a house full of people eating burgers, hot dogs, wings, chips, beer. Probably worse case scenario. Im gonna get through it ok. Best advise is keep the liquids flowing. If you go hours without intake, you get that starving feeling that is hard to catch up with on just liquids. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kamjmm25 28 Posted August 6, 2017 It looks like we have very similar stats. I am having surgery on August 24th. I am currently in the process of waiting on approval from my insurance. My Surgeon's office submitted everything to the insurance exactly two weeks ago tomorrow and still no answer. Its making me absolutely crazy. I start my pre op diet on Thursday. I am hoping at least by then to have an answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
