I'm not gonna lie, it's hard, especially when I get home from work. Even now 11 days on this diet and my stomach is growling. How are you doing?

I'm down 10 lbs. You? What's the mouthwash for? I don't have to do any of that. So weird, so many different ways all these dr.'s are telling us to do. Some people don't have to do a preop diet at all, just the night before, while others are on only liquid diet for 2 weeks. I don't get it.

Wow that’s awesome. I’m still only 10 lbs down. I had food funerals up until the day before I started my preop diet.

Im about to start my 2 week liquid diet. The length of time is based on your body fat percentage. Mine is 42%. Does that help?

[Sosewsue61 3,185]

@hillnicole34 - do you have teeth issues? Like gingivitis or something? I can only imagine how vile it is, and swallowing....yuck. What the heck is in that stuff?

[Sherry Rice 184]

What kind of mouthwash is it?

[hillnicole34 90]

What kind of mouthwash is it?

nystatin

[Katherella 12]

Nystatin is an anti fungal. Sometimes if you have to take antibiotics you can get thrush in your mouth so that maybe why

Starting my liquid diet tomorrow! Surgery a week after that. I'm so beyond excited to start this new chapter of my life.

Congratulations bailboheme! The liquid diet was by far one of the hardest things about this process for me but you can do it it really is worth it in the end! Had my surgery today no issues so far
