Hey There

I am only on three Protein Shakes a day. I have four days to go. Has anyone been really tired or even really forgetful?

Thanks

I hated hated hated the pre-op diet. the only thing that kept me going was knowing in a few days it would be over.

Post Op you are still on liquids but it is honestly much easier after the surgery.

Yes! I am on Day 13 of the pre-op diet. I was exhausted the first 4 days but then started getting some short-term energy back. My surgery is Thursday and I am thrilled that I will be introduced to full liquids after awhile. The liquid diet is seriously one of the hardest things I ever had to do. But it's worth it for the end result.

I'm on liquids for a week but can have more liquids than I do now.

hang in there... I just kept imaging my liver getting smaller... (that is the whole reason for the pre-op diet) it is to shrink the fat around the liver. It makes the surgery go much smoother and much healthier for you. - Dont sabotage your success before you even get started.... HOLD STRONG

Remember that you won't be on full liquids immediately following surgery. In fact, I was on clear liquids for two weeks post surgery. Take your time introducing new foods as your new stomach needs time to heal. I am 3.5 weeks out and still on a full liquid diet. But... am already 44lbs. down. Good luck on your surgery day! Walk, walk, walk!

I felt exhausted for about four days when I started my pre-op diet. Then bounced back a bit until I had my surgery. Be sure to keep hydrated! My doctor wanted me working up to a gallon of calorie free liquids (crystal light was okay) during my pre op as well. Keep your eye on the prize!

so exciting you are almost there...

Dont stress that you are on clear liquids AFTER the surgery... seriously it is still tough but nothing like the pre-liquid diet.

Also Kimmie is right... the very very very best advice I got from this forum was walk... the second they let you after surgery get walking. do laps around the hospital floor . it will save you a world of hurt.

I am 4 more days!
