I’m May 15! Getting SO EXCITED but totally over this full liquid diet [emoji849]. I feel like I “ate” too much today but it was 3 shakes, 2 cups of broth, 2 Decaf herbal teas, a cup of SF pudding and popsicles. And roughly 60 gallons of water... (not really but you get the idea).

Is anyone able to drink caffeine right now? I am a caffeine ADDICT and the headaches and withdrawals are not for the faint of heart. [emoji30]

I haven't had caffeine in 3 months. I feel your pain. Not much longer.

Moved my surgery up to May 15th. Been on liquid diet since 4/24. Down 18 pounds so far. liquid diet is HARD but we can do this!!!!

I can’t believe you will have been doing liquids only for almost 3 weeks prior to surgery. How are you overcoming the salt cravings? Good luck surgery buddy, I’m May 15th VSG as well.

WOOHOO... good for you !!! My pre op appointment is May 2 .... surgery on the 7th.
Im very excited , but a little nervous. I start The liquid diet on Monday. Some say it’s easy others say .... not so much [emoji17]. I think A lot of that diet for the patient is phycological. Hope it’s not to bad .
How are you feeling about everything ?

How many days are we supposed to be on only liquids pre op? I saw my surgeon on the 2nd and he didn't say anything about it. I only have one more Dr. visit before surgery and that's 7day before.

I was on liquids for only a day before surgery... call your Doctor so you feel confident. I don’t blame you for not remembering, my pre op appt was a blur of info afterward.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
