Wow!! I wish I could eat off that list on my pre op diet lol. Tomorrow is my official start date but I’ve been easing myself into my 21 day 3 week liquid diet. Just Protein Shakes, popsicles, sf Jello and broth for me... oh and Water. Here’s to a long 3 weeks.... but sooo worth it. I’m excited to see what I lose but my surgeon said it may not be much it varies. Crazy to see how different surgeons have different pre op requirements

Day 6 now.... but I did have a few saltine crackers and a piece of whole grain toast yesterday. I felt like I was going to pass out if I didn’t eat something. 15 days left to go. It’s taking all I have to stay strong but it does get easier as the days go by. I just keep telling myself I cannot eat anymore crackers or toast! As long as I stay strong these last 15 days I think I will be just fine. Just gonna drink broth til it comes out of my ears if that’s what it takes lol!

Honestly sweetie I think its just fear of change and nerves getting the best of you.. I'm also day 6 or 7 of pre op diet I have been diligent to get everything done for surgery... And I too have thought a few times even crjed maybe I shouldn't do this.. We didnt go through all this hard work and sacrifice for nothing....hold ur head up and don't let fear n doubt stop u from ur goals....WE GOT THIS!!!! Keep going forward we are almost there. Dont give up now.😍😍😍😍😍

Mine is still a month away, and I have flashes of fear sometimes. But I remember when my husband had his surgery last year and he was the same way. After surgery, he really got in his own head with the "what have I done?!" thing. In a few weeks he was adjusted, dropping weight and loving it. It's still an adjustment a year later, to not go back to what he used to do, but it's so worth the health improvements! Only you can decide though.

I will be staring my two week liquid diet soon. I've stocked up on sugar fee Popsicle, jello's and puddings as well as broths and Protein shacks. Good luck and remember this is to shrink your liver so the surgery can be preformed with ease. It would suck to go through two weeks and have to do it again because you cheated.
Stay STRONG a new you is around the corner!

You ladies are really ON IT !!! good for you - and sharing your stories really helps the rest of us, so thank you for that Tomorrow I have an appointment with my "medical advisor" and will find out more about what I have left to accomplish. I know they'll want me to do a sleep study, but not sure what else. fingers crossed!

Day 3 for me. Down 6 pounds. I have a headache, but it's doable. I have prepped for months with my Fluid intake, so I don't feel too deprived at the moment. I found a delicious creamy Soup that tastes like comfort food, so I'm good. Campbell's Home Style Harvest Tomato with Basil. Also drinking shakes, Poweraide Zero, broth, water, and sugar-free Popsicles for my treats.

I'm getting nervous reading about everyone else who's getting nervous, but I'm not backing down. Diets have never worked for me after I turned 30, and this is my only route left.

Surgery date: 10/23/17

I've been on it for 13 days tomorrow is my last day before surgery. I've lost 15 lb, and once I figured out the headache only came when I was a little dehydrated and I drink Water it was highly doable. I've had lots of unsweetened tea mostly hot, and Crystal Light Lemonade. But really have felt pretty good. grateful my liver will be as small as it can be.

My rny surgery is scheduled for surgery 10/25 and I am supposed to start my liquid diet on 10/4, but I've decided to start it today because I had a few cheat meals last week and figured I couldn't hurt anything. Anyways.... is anyone else on a 3-4 week 800 calorie diet consisting of Protein Shakes, broth, sf Jello and popsicles?? I'm finding it really difficult to feel satiated but I've stayed strong today. I did have some broccoli which I deemed was ok for now since technically I'm not supposed to start until 10/4 anyways.... how are you all keeping your sanity? Any advice? Also- I've noticed throughout the day my weight has fluctuated up 5 pounds which usually doesn't happen and I weigh myself constantly. It's obviously Water weight but I'm hoping it doesn't stick around??

Here's a thought --- how about you CALM DOWN. I asked advice on a subject that is widely known about in the wls community that you obviously have no knowledge of, so why bother replying? I am doing exactly as my surgeon told me, he told me to lose the weight and I lost it. Thanks for your negative input, though. You must have had a really bad day.
