    Hey everyone, congratulations to all those who have had their surgery.
    I had mine yesterday.. and oh boy!
    I had a very large abdominal hernia repaired and I swear that has taken front and centre for the pain that I have.
    It's been over 24 hours since the surgery and I'm feeling better. I'm drinking water and broth fine. I tried a popsicle for lunch and couldn't stand the taste lol. I'm really enjoying the broth.

    Hi!
    I am having mine done on the 12th of May. I start my pre-op tomorrow. I am very excited!
    The last couple of months I have been trying to get my body ready for the liquid diet. I have been having a protein shake for breakfast and lunch and a normal dinner. But, in the last few weeks I have been struggling and eating junk for lunch! This week my head seems to be more "ready" for this transition, and I am eager to get it done.
    My pre-op is 2 weeks. Week 1 is two protein shakes (breakfast and lunch) then a normal meal for dinner. I am not allowed any carbs or sugar, no milk in shakes... needs to be mixed with water... :-/ I can have low energy vegetables and fruit.
    Week 2 is 3 protein shakes a day and vegetables for snacks.

    Well, I was scheduled to have my Gastric Sleeve and abnormal hernia repaired in May 12th, but was cancelled due to the anethatist calling in sick ( his father past away) and my doctor didn't want to use any of his back up one's due to the complex surgery.
    So, I have been rescheduled for tomorrow... I've been on the liquid diet for 3 weeks now. I've actually lost 5 kilos which isn't too bad.

    I’m having my surgery on May 17th and started my pre-op diet this past Monday.

    How are you all going with the pre-op diet? I started my 3 shakes a day today. I can have veggies in between meals so I think that will help reduce my hunger... we shall see.
    We have a week to go!!! Yay!!!

    Hi everyone,
    Anyone else having the surgery on the same day as me?
    My work colleague is also having it done, 5 days before me.
    I am so excited to be doing this!

    It took about 3 days before I started to lose the hunger feeling. As much as I get sick of the protein shakes, I just force myself to drink one when I start getting a hunger signal. Right now, my cravings have diminished (I'm sure it comes and goes) and I actually walked through the grocery store yesterday without being miserable looking at everything I couldn't have... that seems like a milestone. Every day there's improvement. Hang in there!

    Starting day 5 of the pre-op. I have more energy, though still fatigue easily. I've had a low grade headache and broke down and had a cup of green tea this morning because I'm pretty sure it's a caffeine withdrawal. (Already the headache is subsiding). The diet DOES get easier with each passing day so I'm feeling confident that I'll be able to manage the after-surgery diet restrictions. I'm noticing my weight dropping and joint pain easing, a big bonus.
    Hang in there, all. We can do this!
