Hang in there. It’s totally worth it.

Hey, there! I am on day 9 of mine. It gets much easier! Is yours all liquids? Mine has been 4 Protein Shakes a day, plus 64 ounces of Clear Liquids (crystal light, chicken broth, sugar free popsicles, and sugar free jello).

The hardest part for me has been the cravings. Those have gotten better as well. I just get this fear that if I don't eat it now, I never will. I know this is not true, but it can still be tough.

Luckily, hunger hasn't been an issue surprisingly as long as I stay hydrated!

Good luck on your procedure! Mine is September 21st!!!Right around the corner!

You have started an amazing life changing journey, no matter how hard the pre op diet is just remember that it’s all so worth it!
I’m 3 months post op and down 55lbs….the only gain I had was in confidence ;)
Good luck!

I'm on day 10, but it feels like day 478,850,656. Although, I will say it does get easier. Day 3 was toughest for me, but after that I started to feel better and better. I think now the biggest issue for me is just being tired. I start my day at 4am and by 3pm I'm exhausted and often have to take a quick nap just to get through the evening to bedtime. Thankfully my family has been very supportive and we all know this is just temporary. It absolutely will be worth it! You'll do great!

I'm on day 11. Protein Shakes and 2 cups of certain vegetables per day. First two days were tricky for me, then my body just seemed to adjust and my energy levels spiked. It's been a lot easier than I was expecting - helped along no doubt by an undercurrent of nerves as D-day approaches.

I’ll start mine on the 27th with surgery on 10/11. Getting excited and nervous.

I have my surgery on 10/8 and they only requested a liquid diet 2 days before the actual surgery. How many days or weeks is it usually?

It varies greatly from one doctor to the next. Two days is not uncommon.

Thank you - I started to stress out!
