Hey everyone. I had a rough night on my 3rd night of my 2 week liquid diet. Been feeling good during the day but only getting around 360 calories a day and having trouble getting in all 64 oz of water. Maybe that's why. I constantly have to get up to use the bathroom due to so much water intake. Last night around 3am I was wide awake. Went to bathroom then started to feel nervous and anxious. Then I became dizzy and hot so I went to the door to get some fresh, cool air and next thing I remember was my husband picking me up off the floor. I had fainted. I don't know if it's my nutrients, if I'm dehydrated, or something else. Maybe blood sugar. What did you eat during the day on the liquid diet and how much? I know I need to do at least 500 in my program, to shrink my liver. But I haven't been that hungry. Have you ever heard of anyone feeling that way and passing out? It's making me question all this. And if I will be able to get the nutrients and water I will need after surgery.

I just started 2 week liquid diet yesterday. I like the Premier Protein drinks. Some other ideas that I like is 1 cup sugar free jello, or sugar free popcicle. Broth is also another option. Things like this keep me at the 500 calorie and 50 grams or less carbs and at least 65+ grams of protein a day. Although every Doctor requires different pre-op diets, I've attached some of my print-outs, maybe that will help give you some ideas.

My Doctor told me not to worry because he was turning in my weight from my first appointment when I was 36.6 BMI. so that took some stress off. I'm just at 35 BMI now, but started 2 week liquid diet yesterday so I will probably lose more till surgery May 31st. But I'm already approved, thankfully. Its crazy, and sad, that every insurance is different.

Every insurance is different. Sounds like you have things in order. When I started going through the approval process, I just told myself that if it's meant to be, it will be. I wish you all the best!

I was worried about that to, even though I had the comorbidity issues for approval. I talked to my bariatric surgeon and he informed me that the first weight recorded at my first appointment is what they turn into insurance. So my advice would be to ask your Doctor, so you can be sure your qualifications will still be met when turned into insurance. Best of luck!

Me! I'm BMI of 36.6, with the serious weight-related issues, or, "comorbidity" as they call it, to qualify with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and pre-diabetic. My surgery date is May 31st!

It's ok, I couldn't keep up any way lol. Just wondering why but I figured I was taken out since I wasn't on much or didn't interact much. It's all good. Best of luck to you all!

I was on Kik but couldn't keep up lol. I think because it was more private.

It seems I've been removed from the Kik group. Maybe because I haven't been on much. No worries. Busy month with graduation now surgery! Best of luck to you all!

A question for those who have had surgery and had a sensitive stomach beforehand. What I've read about how my stomach may react after surgery, is often times how my pre-op stomach is now. For example, greasy foods or some foods, such as salad greens, make my stomach upset to the point of diarrhea. I often have to take tums to calm my stomach. I'm wondering if this is a concern for me. My sleeve surgery is scheduled for May 31st. Just curious, thank you.

Glad to hear you're doing well!

I just came across this post. I'm scheduled for surgery May 31st. I noticed a lot on here have had surgery yesterday or today, (May 1 & 2). Wanted to see how everyone is doing.

Mendiray Please add me, thanks!

Good luck!

Following. I start 2 week pre-op liquid diet May 17th. Interested in learning of some ideas myself.

My surgery is scheduled for May 31st. Start 2 week liquid diet May 17th. I'm excited but so nervous. Best of luck to you all!

Thank you for sharing!

Hello. I'm new to this forum stuff. I started my journey to approval in October, 2016 and finally got approved and my surgery is scheduled for May 31, 2017. Excited but so nervous. Glad to meet fellow May sleevers!
