Hi, I am 8/17 and 3 days into the liquid diet. First day was a little rough, but I’m doing well now. No real side effects, other than I am super hydrated and pee a lot..lol. I went and got pho broth and have been surviving on that and Protein Shakes. Hope it gets a little better for you!

Thanks throughout the day I have moments of motivation then sadly guilt and regrets sets in. It's been 6 months of a rollercoaster ride and I'm so close but now it's like is this the right choice for me?

It’s the right choice, especially if you have come this far. I have two co-workers who have had bariatric surgery, one lost 200 lbs the other 140. A week or so after surgery, things really start to improve. I have heard there are some tough times the first few days after surgery, but those moments are fleeting. Just stay busy, and keep telling yourself pain is momentary, victory is forever!

Just had my surgery last Thursday August 10th. The gas pains are not joke but you must move around.

I had my surgery on the 9th... This has been a roller coaster ride! My pain levels were up to 10 a few times with tears in my eyes, but I am feeling much better than I did on the day of surgery. Hope you are moving around a bit more, too!

I had bypass on 8/11. Stayed one night in hospital. Feeling ok today. Was able to do a ten minute walk this morning. Not too much pain.
