And so it begins...day 1 of my pre-op liquid diet...

[SleeveToBypass2023 2,637]

I'm already annoyed and sick of it lol I'm HUNGRY!!! And I'm already tired of drinking everything. I want actual food. BUT.... I know this is for the greater good. It's only for a week, and the first 3 days are always the worst. Thank goodness this is for my revision, so I already know what to expect with this since I've done it before. Just not having ANY fun with it. At all. Nope. Already ready to be done lol

You can do it!

Thanks!!! Today is day 3, and it's definitely the worst day. Tomorrow should start to be better and days 5-7 should be a breeze. As long as it follows the same way as last time. But the first 3 days....omg......

Ok, so day 4 sucks, too. But mostly because I have headaches, dizziness, and major fatigue. I'm only getting around 600 calories per day, which at almost 14 months out from my original surgery, is a problem. But there's nothing I can do about it. I drink 3 shakes per day, unsweetened tea, Protein Water, eat sugar free popsicles (for the calories at this point), and sugar free Jello. I'm over the "omg I want foooood" part, but now it's the side effects of not enough calories. UGH.... I'll be glad when I get this surgery and can heal and move on already!!!

I sure hope so. This is harder than the 1st time around.

My second time was also harder even though I knew what to expect. But before you know it, you will be 6 months post-revision. Hang in there.

Same. I did not enjoy the preop diet the second time around.

Yuck. Day 5 is just....yuck. But I'm almost there, so I'm just hanging in there.

I wonder why it's worse the 2nd time? We already know what to expect, we know what shakes and broths and whatnot that we like this time, I don't get why it's so much harder now.

Because I didn’t want to do it 😂

Thats my hands down honest assessment. It was like “been there, done that” I didn’t think there was any real need for me to experience it again. But I completed it because it was required.
