On a liquid diet for almost

Two weeks now, for surgery on the 27th from March and April postponement. 


I awoke today exhausted and just not feeling great. I felt a sore throat and nasally. Bit of a headache. 

I feel extremely tired. 

I hope it’s nothing that just a run down today from some yard work the past few days. 


I hope it’s not the “virus” after all this. 

Could it be just an off day? Sinuses? 

Oh my... I hope that’s the case after all this waiting. Could it be due to not eating food like I was used too.

I was really tired and headache-y during my two-week liquid diet - I think it's carb withdrawal plus ultra-low calories. I didn't have the sore throat and nasal stuff, though. It may just be the change in weather - I often get that way in the spring. Hopefully that's all it is.

      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.
