I just started my liquid diet. I have to be on it until June 17th. I'm going to imagine the gnawing feeling in my stomach is fat dissolving in acid. Yeah, that's what it is...

Being sleeved June 8th totally nervous. Bitten my nails to numbs, catch myself shaking my foot, cannot concentrate at work very well. Hard time sitting still. Because I have a teenage daughter and I am a single mom had to make a Will that really brought it home. Oh well we will be okay right!? They do thousands of these around the country. Trying to stay in the moment thinking these are the last pre-op days, we will have new lives pretty soon. Good luck! Stay in touch.

I feel your pain. I'm on day 6 of 14 day Clear Liquids and Protein shakes only. Luckily, I haven't had the headaches, but have been miserably hungry. Today is the first day that I've felt semi-human.
Anyway, I forget who asked, but the reason for the Clear Liquids is because it helps to rapidly shrink the fat around your liver and make it safer during surgery when they have to move your liver out of the way during surgery.

I'm not sure how accurate this is, but from what info I've seen, different doctors may choose different pre-op diets for different patients, depending on BMI, how big their liver is, and general health. I know some doctors don't even do a pre-op diet, and some choose what they find works best. Luckily, mine is only one week, with two Protein Shakes and one lean meal of 3 ounces meat, 1 cup veggies, and 1/2 cup fruit. I can also have broth/celery/and cucumbers if need be. And I can have a sugar free Jello and sugar free Popsicle. Good luck everyone. I'm on day 5, and it definitely gets easier. I've been keeping myself busy, and that helps.

Thank you . It's not that's it's so much as hard i think it's just the thought of you not being able to eat food . Because I don't eat that much anyway. But last night I had a dream about eating chocolate lmao. And my Meal Replacement powder is just not a good taste at all . The only thing helping me is that I can have sugar free Jello sugar free Popsicle sticks diet Snapple and crystal light . And I drink diet Snapple and crystal light all the time so it's really making me feel a lot better lol

I am so thankful we don't have to do an all liquid diet in our program! It's going to be hard enough doing 3 shakes and a Lean Cuisine type meal for 2 weeks!

Im June 13th!

Wow! You ARE Lucky. I'm reading that others don't have to do it at all. How can there be such a difference? I thought there is a medical reason behind it.
