I’m still hungry but I don’t have headaches and feel crappy. My surgery is in 5 days so that is motivation to stay strong! Good luck to everyone in surgery today! Thanks! Today is day 1 of my liquid diet and I'm struggling! 2 vsg_vibes and bandalley reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frustr8 7,886 Posted August 11, 2018 If you weren't nervous, you wouldn't be human. I'm the Brave Little Engine,that Could and I realize,i'm setting,off into a brave new 🌍world. Can be only,be few who have studied more what will happen than I, been 3 years after all. We are going into a place where we do have a map, but what if the map isn't right? Cliffs may have fallen, New roads may have been built. And none of us knows exactly how our own bodies will react to this 🌀challenge. But we still go forward, we've come too far to turn around. And we see the stars shining ahead., don't we?😛🌞☀🌈 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SueSaBelle 57 Posted August 11, 2018 I am scheduled to have gastric bypass on August 27th. I will know more after I go for my presurgical appointment on Monday. I am amazed at how fast this happened after I submitted my 6th month doctor monitored diet paperwork to BCN.Sent from my XT1650 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sestewart17 17 Posted August 11, 2018 My sleeve surgery is on Monday the 13th! Starting my two day Clear Liquids only today! The two week pre op diet was difficult mentally more than physically but I am so excited to be moving to the next stage and so nervous for surgery 1 TaylorMade4One reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jultrim18 132 Posted August 11, 2018 Started my liquid pre-op diet yesterday. I have horrible stomach cramps now! Could it be the Protein Shakes? You would think this healthy eating would cause awesome BMs but nope! Ugh 😑 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BadWolf523 196 Posted August 11, 2018 Today was the first time I really understood how small my stomach was. So I made scrambled eggs. Just one egg. I ate maybe a forth of it and was full. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
