Has the shakes or broth or anything been triggering gag reflexes? Everything I've been doing the past 3 days have made me gag.

I haven't cheated, in just so hungry. The broth and water Ice is making me sick. I know it's not head hunger my stomach is killing me

I'm on my 5th day of pre op liquid diet and I'm starving I feel like I can't do it anymore ! The shakes aren't doing it for me I don't want to give up I feel so so weak.

I'm on day 4 and I just want to much on something! I'm allowed protein shakes I'm doing carnation, ad I've been trying broth and eating sugar free water ice. I just need to much on something it's killing me!

Yes Elaine I would like that a whole lot!!!

Elaine so am I ! I feel like I should be ready more. I am afraid I will fail, but I know I need to eliminate that idea from my mind. I've struggled since middle school with weight and now it's my chance to finally feel healthy and happy. I'm just letting my nerves and fear of caving in dutton pre op scare me. I know post op will be a bit easier.

Thank you kw2walker! I was told sugar free gelatin so I think I will have to run out and get some. I know I am going to struggle with breaking myself away from coffee for a while. But what really stinks is my summer job when I'm off from school I work at McDonald's and being around food right now isn't the best thing during this diet . But I know I just have to be strong. Thank you for the support!

Hi Elaine, I start my pre op on Tuesday and am honestly scared. I have my surgery on the 23rd, I was told to have a shake every 4 hrs I bought carnation instant breakfast , ensure and gnc lean shake. The worst part is during my breaks from school I work at McDonald's as my summer job. I know I am just really nervous but I know in the end it's going to be all worth it.

Thank you everyone, I know that's what I keep telling myself that it's going to help me become a better and healthier me in the long run. I think I'm just psyching myself out into thinking I'm going to crash and burn.

I am July 23rd I Start my liquid diet Tuesday and am so nervous!

Hey everyone, My name is ally and I'm 22 I am scheduled for surgery on July 23rd. I start my liquid diet on Tuesday the 9th and I am so afraid that I am going to go nuts by not eating! I was told I can have sugar free water ice, and sugar free ice pops and broth. I bought carnation instant breakfast, ensure and GNC lean shakes. Does anyone have any suggestions on anything else I can possibly have during the pre op diet or ways to stay same? I know post op will be easier. Thanks so much !!!

Thank you everyone for your support and well wishes! I know it is the best decision I can make, I've had my family and their support but I keep getting the "you put yourself in this situation" And it hurts to know what i've done but now I am doing my best to fix it. If I may ask what did you guys do for your liquid diet? I am so glad I have found support of others who have been here before. Ally

My surgery date is July 23rd. I have been overweight since I was 14 and am 22 now. I am nervous about loose skin and am big chested. Any advice?

Hi Everyone, My name is Ally and i'm 22 i've always struggled with my weight since I was in middle school.(I currently weigh 320). My friend got gastric sleeve surgery and I asked him about what he did to drop the weight once I noticed he was dropping weight. I took it upon myself to look into it because I had reached my final limits because I had always struggled and nothing I ever did worked. I am a little nervous about getting it done, but I know its for the better. I had all my pre-ops on Tuesday July 25th and am scheduled for my surgery on July 23rd and starting my liquid diet on July 9th. I was wondering if anyone had any advice for me. I know I am making the right decision but that does not help the fact that I am nervous. Thanks so much. Ally
