Today begins my 7 day liquid diet - pre-surgery. I went out with my family last night and enjoyed a nice dinner, we divorced my old life and are welcoming the new one beginnign today. 1 week from today, I will receive the tool I have worked so hard to get and then truly be on my way.

Congratulations! I've got a 2 week diet, which I started today as well. My last meal was Olive Garden. Good luck on your journey!

Congratulations!!!

Today is my 7th day of the 2 week pre-op diet and i am 5lbs down, I am so excited, didn't think I will make it to the 3rd day at all but is seems to be getting easier with each passing day. My surgery is on the 7th of April. Good luck guys all the best.

My last meal was at Outback Steakhouse. I am not a steak eater, but I do enjoy babyback ribs. The weird thing is, I have been watching what I eat for so long now, I could not finish...I felt satisfied and stopped eating. I was going to only order 1/2 rack, but my significant other said...no get the full rack, I want some. He didnt eat any of them, I left more than 1/2 on the plate and I only took a few bites of my potato. I did enjoy a very small piece of cheese cake, which I also could not eat, I literally only took 3 - 4 bites of it. So long to that life and on to the new one. I thought I would be miserable, but Im actually feeling really up beat about it all so far.

I am starting my 2 week preop diet on Friday. Are and of you drinking coffee?

I am not a coffee drinker, so no I am not drinking coffee. I got my caffeine from soda, which now I cant have. My intention is to just drink unsweetned ice tea. I do not get the satisfaction from it that I get from soda, but it has the caffeine I need givent he hours and life style I lead.

good luck to everyone...

I am new as well and look forward to reading everyone's success..

Okay so yesterday was day1 of my pre-op diet. I kept to it all day, by the time I got home from work, I had a severe head ache and I was shaking like mad. I have never felt so hungry in my life. I caved and ate 2 hard boiled eggs, I felt a little better, but still shaky hands. I sure hope I can make it through my liquid died and not have to cave on some solids but I did not in anyway like how I felt yesterday.

So far today, have had about 24 ounces of Water, 32 oz of unsweetened fresh brewed ice tea, 8 oz yogurt, and now eating a bowl of tomato Soup for lunch. The headache is already starting and I sure hope I dont have the uncontrollable shaky hands by the time I get home tonight.

Anyone else ever feel like this?

I feel like that. I also eat a hard boiled egg too. My doctor is not that picky about the liquids. I can do Protein shakes. The shakes make me wanna gag and they only keep me full for about hours plus they make my stomach updet. I think your headache might be from the sugar and carbo withdrawal. I get headaches too. If you like shrimp or fish make some of that and keep in the fridge. Shrimp cocktail makes a good snack to take the edge off and is packed with protein.

I wonder if the Protein Shakes bother anyone else's tummy?

I felt horrible for the first 4 days of the pre-op liquid diet, the headaches were really bad, but i think that was just our body reacting to the drastic change, by the 5th day i was feeling much better. today is my 8th day and it only gets better everyday you will see.
