Day 5 for me. I am pretty good all day. I do have a hard time around dinner.

Right there with you! Same surgery day but I had to start my liquid diet Sunday. First two days were brutal. Yesterday and today was much better during the day but at night I get hungry. Like stomach hurting hungry.

Congrats!!!

Thanks!! I will definitely try that. I am drinking water but not plain. I will do that.

Anyone having or had bad breath during the liquid diet??? It's killing me!!

Me too.

I did this too but ended up 3 pounds heavier at my last meeting with him to sign the paperwork. He was mad. I made me start my liquid diet early.

Are you drinking enough Water? Did they give you the 3 day liquid diet instructions? Maybe you can start early. I had to start mine early. My last appointment I gained. He told me to start right away. He normally requires a 14 day so I now have a 16 day. But I am on day 4 of the liquid diet. I weighed myself today just to see. I am down 5.4 pounds since my visit with him.

Hang in there!! I am in day 3. I do feel better about it today then I did the last two days.

15 days of this and then the day before just clear liquids.

I can do 3-4 slim fast shakes, water, crystal light, sugar free jello, sugar free Popsicle, broth.

I still don't feel like its real!! I started my liquid diet Sunday. I have a 5 yr old. I didn't think to ask. She would be upset if she couldn't!

So funny you asked!! I did ask that at my appointment with my surgery on Friday. He said they will still operate. He said that the nurses have seen it and will deal with it.

I am on day 3. Much better today than day 1 & 2.

Good luck!! We will be thinking about you.

I went Friday to see the surgeon. I had a little slip with my weight. I gained. So he wanted me to start the liquid diet right away instead of Tuesday. But started today. My family wanted to take me out to dinner last night and honestly I needed a day to prepare my head for it. Friday I have my pre-admission testing. And then surgery on the 6th. I am so focused on the liquid diet so I don't think the fact the 6th is right around the corner has sunken in.

Thanks!!

Me too!!

They funny thing about the written test, there were a ton of questions. Allot of them the same question just worded differently. I was so worried that maybe my answers were different!!!

Thanks!! I am so glad to have a surgery date buddy!!

You can do this!! Hang there. Maybe to help start looking at success stories on youtube or before and after pics to help you see the goal and why your doing it. You will have to remind me next week what I said to you when i am struggling LOL!!

Maybe he is scared and handling that badly.

I am tentatively scheduled for the 6th as well. I called my insurance just to see if they have a status on the approval. The customer service rep said it's showing approved. My surgeon's office has not received anything yet though. I think until I see the approval letter for myself, i don't believe it will happen.

I haven't started mine yet but I read you kind of go through carb withdrawal. It can cause headaches and feeling sick.

We will be thinking of you. Best wishes. I agree with ajustice, get a massage or something!! I was thinking about doing that when it's my time for surgery.
