Liquid Diet Started Today

[Momtoasoccerboy 8]

Did your surgeon give you an amount he had to lose before surgery? Mine did not. I was just put on a 10 day liquid diet.

I had to lose 5lbs before I saw him after all the preop testing, but that was the only required weight loss. I have a 2 week liquid diet (day 5 now) and I'm already down 13lbs....

Surgery date is November 7th. On the second day of liquid diet. If I can live through this, I can live through anything.

Did anyone else have horrible headaches? I'm really suffering and don't know if it's like caffeine withdrawal or just food withdrawal? It really sucks.

I am doing a three-day test run of the clear liquid diet before my egd, and I have had a headache much of the time. For me, it is likely caffeine withdrawal. I took a couple of caffeine pills, which seemed to help. I don’t do coffee, so that seemed like the best option.

Day 6: physically I feel fine..surprised because I thought this liquid diet was going to be the worst but it isn’t! I’m surviving! It’s weird because I thought I would be starving by this point but here I am, not even drinking all three of my allowed shakes!

I’m actually doing great. Tomorrow is day 8 and I’m am not hungry at all. Down about 10 pounds right now. I’m surprised but I think my body had adjusted to it. Only had the one headache. One week from tomorrow is the day and I can’t wait.

I have the same dates. Are you having to do a full 2 week liquid? From reading on this site it seems like I'm lucky, I get 1 lean/green meal a day until the day before.

It went okay. I'm not feeling hungry, but I'm exhausted. It's 8pm and I'm headed to bed.

I'm in Tyler, TX. Yeah I'm allowed up to 5 shakes, green veggies and lean meat once a day and if I need it bars from slimfast or Atkins or the like. I'm having trouble with some of the dynamics of the diet like drinking enough Water and making myself take small bites and chew until it's basically blended in my mouth like in a blender. How long is your doc predicting you'll have to stay? Mine says average 2 days.
