    I have been telling everyone that I am afraid of the Pre-op diet more than surgery and post op. I am scared with out the tool of the surgery and how that is going to help me stay focused, that I am going to cheat on PO diet. I am addicted to my routine which involves a glass of wine/beer at around 8pm and a snack before bed. HORRIBLE I know, but it has been mine and my husbands routine for last 5+ years...I feel like that will be so hard to break! I am going to do it, believe me...but it's going to suck :unsure:

    You will do fine! The first 2-3 days were the hardest for me. I had headaches and bodyaches which made it seem like my body was detoxing (which in a way I guess it was.) But once I got past day 3 I was fine. I have learned to drink Water every time I felt like nibbling something, and now I am at the point in which being around doesn't make me want to bite into it. As of yesterday I was down 5.9 pounds since the day I started and that alone was enough to keep me motivated to want to do more.

    Use the time you would snack with your husband before bed to do something else. I promise you it doesn't stay horrible forever!

    Starting my liquid 2 week diet before my bypass surgery this Wednesday [emoji1374]. I hope I am strong enough to get through the next 2 weeks. I have no willpower or get up and go. I keep saying to myself, once I have the operation it will be fine and just a few weeks/months struggle.
    Excited, nervous but also can't wait for my new life and journey to begin [emoji1374]


    I'm currently on day 6 of my liquid diet. I'm super excited. The first few days are REALLY hard. But once I got past day 3. I was fine.

    You're on the liver shrinking diet? My dr told me to have 4 oz of lean meat so I've been eating  chicken

    Everybody's surgeon is different when it comes to the preop.

    I'm ending day 5 and will be on day 6 of my 21 day (3 week) liquid diet. Which only consists of, 3-4 Protein shakes a day, sugar free popsicles, sugar free Jello, Water (with crystal light as well, broth, Gatorade G2 or Powerade zero.

    So I don't know why I did this to myself .I just looked at some of these horrible stories of near death experiences and people being really sick after a bypass and now I scared myself to thinking of having just the sleeve and now a little bummed .

    Those stories are anywhere. They happen. But heck I've had a csection in which I was completely sedated and I had to sign papers saying that I understand the risk. Anytime you have a surgery, no matter how minor, there are risk... especially when it involves meds for sedation.

    You'll be okay! Look up statistics.

    I think it really depends on your surgeon. My doctor gave me a binder with LOTS of information, including the various pre-op diet regimens, at my 1st appt with him, and I met my nutritionist the same day. I was told that EVERYONE there has at least 2 weeks of the liquid diet pre-op. The assumption is that if you are overweight, then so is your liver, which needs to shrink before surgery. My BMI is 40, and it will be the 2-weeks for me! Starting it on the 21st. I am stocked up on Premier Protein shakes-4 flavors, sugar free Jello, popsicles, etc. I am ready...now I just hope my body is LOL. I have been eating a highprotein, very low carb diet for a couple of weeks to prepare, and so far have lost 13 lbs an feel great. I am also off of one of my two diabetes pills because my blood sugars were getting too low! Yeah!



    I got a binder as well! I am on day 3 of 21 and today hasn't been that bad. (Knock on wood).
