It could always be worse lol my 2 week pre-op is only liquids no puréed foods allowed for me and no veggies or fruits allowed 😩. Tomorrow is my last day but I can only have clear fluids tomorrow. All I keep thinking is this is all worth it in the end.

I know it seems hard in the beginning but it does get easier ❤️

I hope so! I’m so close to asking if I can just do a week of liquids LOL I think it’s a texture thing for me.

Good luck to you!! We will get through this. And yes it will be worth it in the end!!!

keep us posted🩷

😥I am on week 2 of my PRE-OP and it’s purée foods for 4 days.

I am on day 1 and I finished my lunch portion at 7pm - it’s so gross to me 😭

I don’t know how I’ll survive these 4 days and then have to do it again Post -Op.

Why don’t you just stick with shakes, broths, blended Soups, yogurt, and sugar free pudding? ? Not everyone can handle the purées texture. I’m sure your surgeon will work with you if you can’t stomach it. I can’t imagine why you couldn’t just do liquids…

My surgeons said they had an easy time with my liver because of me sticking to the preop diet for the month I was assigned. I think it really does make a difference and I also think it helped condition my stomach a little bit.

I got my surgery date today... November 29th... Gastric Bypass... Now to start planning, getting together everything I need and trying to not stress myself out until then....

I'm right behind you, mine is 11/30. Check out Walmart for best prices for Premier shakes. :)

Hope everyone is still doing well. I’m actually tolerating liquids well and am not having an issue getting a Protein Shake for Breakfast and one for lunch. I get a bit gurgley with Water but end up burping and not vomiting.

I just had my surgery yesterday. So I am day 1 with two shakes and Water. Let me tell you. Not much pain from surgery but lost of gas and it can be painful. They say I must wait it out. Didn’t expect this. Getting better but first day was hard. Anyone else have this?

My surgery isn't until Monday, but I've heard several people say the gas pain up through your shoulders is the worst part if everything goes well. Sounds like it lasts around 3-4 days, but does improve each day. I've also heard the more you walk, the faster your body processes it and gets rid of it.

Anyone post-op able to confirm this?

EDIT: I was typing this as @ChunkCat was responding. Thanks for confirming!

Yup! You've got to walk it out. Walk as much and as often as you can. Gas-x sometimes helps a little for some but walking and time are the only cure. 💚I'm two weeks post op.

Hello everyone

had my surgery this morning and have been sipping Water & walking.

had a chicken broth for dinner but after sipping 8 spoons of it I was full so that was exciting to me lol other than that I feel great! Minimal pain and the gas I’ve pretty much been burping. Going back to sleep now just wanted to keep everyone posted.

I was told no yogurt, no pudding. I'm on day '1' of liquid diet and this evening having issues... I'm hungry! Blended Soups? ? I talk with the nurse tomorrow and will be asking about blended soups and bisques. so hungry :(

I've had only 2 shakes so far, 1 cup of chicken Bone Broth, and a couple single sugar free popsicles. Getting ready to have another cup of 'bone broth' and will have another shake a lil later.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
