Yes, I start my liquid diet next Tues and am nervous that I will feel starved.
I hope this will not happen but understand the importance of it. I am anxious, excited, nervous, and ready!

Surgery September 6th. I only have to do liquid the day before. The program I am in requires participants to lose a certain percentage of their body weight over 6 months prior to surgery. My requirement was 12-24lbs. I've lost almost 40lbs! Whoohoo! My surgeon said some of the weight loss is from the liver. With what I've lost, my liver is smaller, making a liquid diet only necessary the night before surgery. I'm stoked!

Hi September Bypass Buddies,
I would like to know how many of you are doing the Sleeve versus the Bypass? I am a bypass on 9/11.
Cheers,

Surgery on 9/5. On Pre-op diet since 8/8 (4 shakes + 1 small low fat&carb, high protein&fiber dinner). I already lost almost 20 pounds since I started the pre-op diet . From 271 to 252 ! Today i went to my last appointment with the surgeon. We went again through the procedure and through the possible acute and chronic complications. He clarified that there is the possibility that he will need to open the abdomen if he can't lift the liver to reach the stomach. I am very very scared.

@zleng I understand the fears because I am very scared too. My surgery isn't until 9/11. I find that writing in this forum really helps. Good luck,

@zleng, my own surgery is the day after yours. It is scary and thinking about possible complications adds to the anxiety. Remember that the complications are unlikely to occur and that it is much more likely that your surgery will be textbook and go smoothly. Stay positive about it.

Hi everyone. First day on the forum! I'm schedule for gastric on 9/12! I'm a little worried. I will be out of town and will be getting into my pre-op late. I know we are on a liquid diet for two weeks prior. I will need to start 8/30. This will be before my pre-opt. Can anyone advise if you've tried any Protein liquids in prep for this?!

Hi @monica8773 ,

My surgery is 9/11 and I start my pre-op diet on 8/28. I have tried Premier Protein, Click Protein Powder, Bariartic Pal fusion powder and Medifast powder. My surgeon has me taking premier Protein and I do like it. Hope this gives you an idea of different protein powders out there.

I cannot believe that I in my stupid mind decided to have a major dental surgery a day before I started my liquid diet. What do you do when you are in pain? You eat of course. (You do this also when you are happy, sad, excited, anxious just to name a few but that's different story) So here I am in terrible pain and all I have is a Protein Shake to look forward to! It has been a miserable 2 days but I am sticking to it. I am telling myself that eating a slice of cake would mean that I will die in the operating table and it seems to be working.

I got a call from the surgeon's office yesterday and was told that my surgery had to be rescheduled. I was totally bummed since it moved from 9/6 to 9/13 and I had already started my liquid diet in prep for the 9/6 date. I really had my head wrapped around 9/6. Now I am working on resetting my plans and prep. It isn't the end of the world, just super frustrating.

Ugh! That is rough. Hang in there!!

I started my pre-op liquid diet today instead of Monday because I was ready to start. I am finding my tough times and I am making a list of things I can do instead of eat.
