My surgery is tomorrow, so I'm on Clear Liquids just for today. It's okay to have doubts, I think we all have them. Just keep moving forward & think forward thoughts. Don't dwell on the past. You are ready for a new, healthy YOU. Hang in there friend!

It is a gastric roller coaster, indeed.
You had me laughing like hell at that description, man. Accurate and funny.
Could be either.
I remember my pre-op diet very well. It was calorie deficit and also put me into ketosis after about 4-5 days. It was no surprise, as I'd been there-done-that during my many weight loss attempts in the past. I was comforted with the knowledge that the feeling puny only lasts a day or two if you'll stay the course and get through it.
If you cave in and have carbs, then, you'll simply prolong the struggle and keep on feeling like hell.
Stay the course and gut it out. You'll get used to the ketosis quickly and your body will adapt. You'll amplify the weight loss, most likely, too. Enjoy feeling those pounds drop off and know that you are underway. Your ship is sailing already.....plotting a course to a sunny beach somewhere where you'll enjoy strutting around nekkid.....or closer to it than you've dared think about.
The magic is already happening. Go with it.

My date is November 10. I'm so excited. I can't wait to be on the other side of this! I have my pre op appointments tomorrow, and so far haven't been given a pre op diet. He told me not to gain any weight, but that's all. My brain is in weight loss mode, so I'm doing Protein shakes for Breakfast, a 300 calorie lunch and a 300 calorie dinner, at least for now. Even with that, I've only lost 1 1/2 pounds in 4 days.
Does anyone know why I wasn't given a pre surgery diet?
