Today was day one of my 2 week pre-op diet. My diet is very strict allowing only liquids. So far so good. I stuck to it 100% and even worked out at the gym. Am I being delusional in thinking the whole 2 weeks will be like this. If this is as bad as it gets then I can handle it. What is everyone elses experience with an all liquid pre-op diet. Is it going to get worse?:unsure:

I'm sure by day 13 you will be thinking differently haha (then another week or two after surgery, then mushies for a week a or two..). But eventually you will get to eat again!

Maybe you're feeling quite excited that you finally have the date for surgery? Today was my 1st day and it's been hard not to eat! I wanted a starbuck's coffee SO badly today and I don't know how I avoided it. I can truly tell why I failed every other diet...I always say "I can do it later..." With this, I know I can't mess up these next 2 weeks so that's making me stay on track. I hope you continue with your delusions and have a great 2 weeks :)

Is your surgery the 24th also?? I wish it would hurry up and get here!

Day one was great- I was pumped for my surgery and excited it was so close. Plus, it was almost an "adventure" to just have Clear Liquids (broth) and Protein Shakes. By day 3, caffeine withdrawl headaches set in and by day 5 I was grumpy and cranky. Day 7, though, wasn't too bad, because it was the "halfway" mark for the liquid preop diet. The second week wasn't too bad. I actually learned a few things (like I could use the seasoning packets from Ramen noodles to make my broth and that I could had plain Protein Powder to my broth to make it "heartier") and was getting closer to surgery. By the morning of surgery, I couldn't wait to have "real food" (ie: cream of wheat) when I got home.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
