[myriam569 38]

I know all the feb 5th people are getting excited! I just have to throw a couple things in my bag in the morning. I have my chlorhexadine wash for tonight and in the morning. I have to drink the apple juice tonight and in the morning then off to surgery. Getting super real!

Congrats I know the feeling I have my surgery 2/6

Oh man. I'm on day 2 of all-liquids and it's hard as I'm very hungry, but the splitting headache and nausea from withdrawal are horrible. I'm not sure if I'm suffering caffeine withdrawal or sugar withdrawal. My head is pounding and I'm queasy. Is this normal???

I am disappointed that I do not get your diets for my bypass. I can have all the meat I want and non starch veggies. I cannot have dairy, sugar, fruit and any carbs besides the one in veggies

Yes, it sounds normal. Especially if you didn’t wean yourself off of caffeine prior. The headaches, dizziness, and weakness lasted about 4 days for me. It does get better, though, so hang in there!!

I have not heard about apple juice the night before surgery. Is anyone else doing that?

Good luck, Idawn and the other Feburary 5th-ers. Please come back as soon as you feel up to it and let us know how things went!

Well, if you are really disappointed, you could always go on an all-liquid diet, too. It's certainly not going to do any harm! 🙂

Well my diet was a little more restrictive. I could only eat 1 lean meal a day.

So, it turns out the nurse wanted me to go to the ER last night for fear of dehydration. Not fun, but I did get fluids and something to stop the nausea and vomiting. The ER doc said it was the flu going around, but I just don't know. I took today off work and am so exhausted. It feels so weird to not want to eat but to be very hungry. The headache is not as bad, but stlll very much there. Has anyone else had severe nausea and a splitting headache early into the liquid diet?

I am officially scheduled for 2/18. I am excited and nervous.

liquid diet starts tomorrow...wish me luck. I ate a big juicy steak last night as a farewell fat boy meal lol

[Gottajustdoit 220]

Good luck, Big Bari! I'm on day three. NOT easy, for sure, as you try to come up with a variety of things to take but the variety doesn't last long. I am up to 4 to 6 Protein Shakes a day and strained Progresso Soup. They are my go-tos. I was also told I should have at least 700 calories a day---but not sure how to find them as the liquid options are not rich in calories. Please share your ideas!
