I am scheduled 10/1. Has anyone started the pre op liquid diet? I am on day 4 and down 8lbs. It I dying on this and feel like absolute crap and need some help!!! Anyone feeling any better after starting it

Im on the 5th and starting liquid diet on Tuesday (I have 10 days full liquids, last 3 days are clear only) I hear the first few days are horrible then the energy kicks in...Oh how I hope thats true or my family will be disappearing on me fast with my tantrums lol WTG on the 8lbs tho..thats a huge thing...Im worried I wont loose at all and they will refuse me on the day =( Keep it up and lets keep in touch =)

I didn’t mean to worry anyone yesterday who has not started pre op diet. Today is day 5 for me and I woke up feeling much better. I never thought I would get through one day so this is a huge accomplishment. I do find it very ironic that I typically cannot stay on a diet, hence me having weight loss surgery, but I can go full liquids. Crazy! I just want to follow the rules so I can lessen the chance of any complications. I did gain a pound but still down 7. I haven’t been pooping much (tmi) but probably why I gained. I shouldn’t be weighing myself everyday I know but if I have to survive this I will do it lolllll. Good luck to everyone and I answered my own question. It does get easier?

Currently cleaning my coffee maker before I put it away (for now? Forever? ) I love coffee. I miss coffee. I suspect coffee misses me too. 25 days until the big day. One step closer.

I've started a list to help people find their surgery buddies. This is supposed to just be sleevers, but I bet some others snuck on. It's supposed to be all the October sleevers, but I'm 100% sure I missed some, and some don't have dates yet. Let me know if you aren't on the list and want to be on it, or if you're on it but want to be, and I'll edit this post! (Please please please don't quote the whole post; just type "@CrankyMagpie" to get my attention. I mean, also, I'm following this thread, so I'll see it even if you don't @ me.)

Did your Dr tell you no coffee? Ours said to change to Decaf, and I don’t think I could go weeks with out it. Maybe you could get coffee Protein Shakes to replace it🤗

My office says no coffee. I’m having similar thoughts with diet soda. Cutting that out is hard for me.

Definitely no caffeinated coffee for the first 4 weeks after surgery and then we’ll see if it’s tolerated... I think decaf might just make me sadder haha. I heard it referred to as “brown sadness Water once” :)

Funny you mentioned diet soda, I just read in my drs booklet that I can have diet soft drinks...isn’t that soda? Or am I reading that wrong?
