I’m on day 6 of my preop liquid diet. Things I have learned.

Liquid in means liquid out. Be aware.
chicken broth makes this even worse!
Don’t trust farts
You’ll be tempted to cheat. Don’t do it. Find something else to distract you.
Plan on hiding from people. It’s too hard to be around food.
Stock up before your diet starts. It’s too are to be in the grocery store.
Good luck!!!! You can do this!

I have talked at length with my surgeon about this. We have a good plan in place. Cdiff is so horrible that nothing can make the anxiety go away.

I have never had it myself, but had a friend with it after a big abdominal surgery. I would make sure to bring this up with your Dr. to ease your mind.

I am about to start my pre op liquid diet and would love any tips or suggestions on how to manage. This is a big step for me and I want to do the best possible! Thanks!

Hello, I’m Jenny. I’m 38 years old, married to a wonderful and supportive guy, and a mother to two great kids. I had the sleeve done on Monday December 2nd with one overnight hospital stay. I went home on oxygen for when I’m at rest because of the elevation/altitude of where I live, which is near Denver. I’m 5’5” and was 295 pre-op. My goal is to lose 100 pounds and go from there. I have told very few people about my surgery because I don’t want to hear about how I took the easy way out. Nothing else I’ve tried has worked to lose weight and keep it off.

This is my second day post-op, and I am very sore. I’m trying to get my Fluid intake up and in a good spot, but it’s been hard. My stomach feels like I’ve been kicked a few times and it looks that way in spots where I’ve bruised. I don’t want to discourage anyone from getting their surgery done... I just wanted to write out how I’m doing so far. I hear it gets easier on the 3rd day.

If it does stop you will blow up like a blowfish - Just kinda consider it like a flush out

My date is December 9!

You will be fine - drink drink drink that is what I did. Try to keep busy doing something so you don’t think about food.

Be kind to yourself! You can do it Rebecca! Come to the board for support.
Take care--
Gloria

I’m starting my Clear Liquids in prep for my sleeve in December 9. Nervous that this week will be horrible.

this was the hardest part of the whole "ordeal" for me, but it does get better after about the third day. Your body goes into ketosis around then and you don't get as hungry. But just white knuckle the next couple of weeks - you're almost there!!

After the first two days, it'll become second nature. You can definitely do this!!😁

Don't be nervous as you truly have nothing to lose but weight!!! It will be worth it![emoji176][emoji176]
