You're doing great. After two weeks of liquids, I lost seven pounds. My nutritionist said its also to prepare me for post op. Surgery is tomorrow and my liver should be really small as I was 100% faithful. You got this!

The liquid diet is a mental challenge. Im on my one day of Clear Liquids and I have not been hungry. I keep reminding myself that tomorrow is the beginning of my new journey. My family stopped by with chicken, sweets and everything else. It didn't bother me at all...I sat with them and drank my Protein20. My surgery is at 8:00 am tomorrow morning. Hang in there, its almost over.

Hello all! I have been reading from this website for months now and tonight I decided to join in. I have my RNY surgery planned in about 3 weeks and i'm a ball of nerves... Almost to the point of delaying my surgery. I haven't cancelled it but man this is tough.... I have been on a food tour for the past 2 weeks since my surgery date was planned, "I won't be able to eat this for awhile" is what i'm telling myself. I guess need a little support before I start my 2 week pre-op liquid diet. Please help a newbie!!!
We've all been there before with the "last supper"!!! You've come this far now and that's a major accomplishment. All of us are here to support you and await to see you on the "other side" ( post op).madvillain and Orchids&Dragons reacted to this -
You're doing great! I only lost eight pounds total. I hope you have an easy recovery.
Thank you so much for the encouragement. -
We got this [emoji4]
Yes we do! [emoji119]🏾 -
I’m on a 2 week Liquid Protein diet right now and my surgery is on April 25th... I haven’t lost what I wanted to either. I only can really have coffee, Protein shakes, Water, chicken broth, and sugar free popsicles. It’s been a real struggle.
We're almost there. Today was the first time I struggled. I decided to grab a bottle of water and took a nice walk. I felt better afterwards. Good luck on WednesdayTaoz reacted to this -

I keep reading this for pre op I thought the liquid diet was post op? We do liver shrinking diet pre op. I am so confused
Its both pre and post op. -

Im on day 10 of my liquid diet and I've lost 5.5 pounds. My nutritionist said not to worry as long as I'm following it correctly.

2 minutes ago, psychnurse1 said:My surgery is the 26th..... I’m a nurse at a psychiatric inpatient hospital... today has been really stressful.... my anxiety is already up in relation to the upcoming surgery . There was chocolate candy everywhere..... and realized when I’m this stressed and anxious I normally self medicate with chocolate! I didn’t give in pushed through, and very proud, but worried how am I going to break this relationship between my stress and food.... that’s how I got here!
I definitely understand. My surgery is on the 25th and I'm on Day 10 of my pre-op diet. I have been faced with temptation almost every one of these past 10 days...chocolate/cookies/cake/doughnuts in the office; smelling McDonald's french fries, etc. I have been strong by focusing my attention on the outcome. I keep saying to myself "I'm almost there!" So far, it's worked for me. Wishing you the very best.

Hey surgery twin! Yes, this weekend is my time to get my house "in order". I need to pick up my Clear Liquids for Tuesday and Thursday/Friday. I was concerned that I haven't lost a lot during my pre-op diet, but I've been reassured I'm on the right track! See you on the loser's bench

Exactly....focus on more positive things and everything will work out. My surgery is only five days away. I'm anxious and excited. I'm doing this so that I can be around for my grand-daughter. It's because of her that I made this decision...carrying her one day had me breathing hard, my legs and back were hurting. I want to be healthy for her!

I think its natural to be nervous. The only person who knows if you're making the right decision is YOU! You can do this and all of us will support you. Just think of the outcome [emoji4]
