I just started my liquid diet today and I'm also really tired. Not so much gassy as nauseated. Yuck! Hard to watch the kids eat pizza for dinner tonight, too!

Best of luck with your surgery today. Hope you have a speedy recovery!

Hello to you both - Susan and Sean. I'm a May 12th sleever too and am in the Dallas area. Surgeon is Dr. Kim, though. Just started the liquid diet today - no solids, just BariEssentials shakes and non-calorie liquids. The shakes are making me so queasy, though, and I'm constantly on the verge of being sick. I've done some research online and it seems as though most pre-surgery diets permit solids. Are y'all on pure liquids? Lauren

Hi, Girls! I'm so glad to have found this site. Happy birthday to all you May birthdays - what a terrific birthday gift you're giving yourselves. I'm having my surgery on May 12. Finished most of the pre-surgery visits (stress test, gallbladder ultrasound, nutrition, etc.). Just have the pre-op visit with the hospital and one more visit with the dr for physical. I haven't started the liquid diet yet - my doctor just requires one week of liquid pre-surgery. Can anyone recommend a Protein drink that's good? Most of the ones I have had in the past are pretty horrible, so I'm nervous about having to incorporate them for the rest of my life and would value your input. I'm so excited to begin the journey toward a healthy weight and having more energy. Best of luck to all of you.
