So my sleeve date has been scheduled for Tuesday, March 22nd. This means that today started my liquid diet. It wasn't as bad as I expected. I am just a little weak and have had a mild headache all day. I am thinking of it as 1 day down and only 13 to go. LOL! I am super excited about surgery but am VERY nervous also. I would appreciate any hints or tips any of you could offer to help make this 2 week liquid diet a little easier!

Thanks so much!

CONGRATS THIS IS DAY 2 FOR ME AND YES IT IS HARD! I DID OT HAVE A HEADACHE BUT I DID HAVE HORRIBLE HUNGER PAINS AND I STILL HAVE THEM BUT NOT AS BAS AS DAY 1! I HOPE DAY THREE WILL BE BETTER! THAT IS WHAT I HEAR FROM OTHER PEOPLE WHO DID THE DIET! MY ADVICE FOR U TO GET THROUGH THIS IS WATER! I BELIEVE THAT WILL HELP US ALOT! I HAVE NOT HAD THIS MUCH WATER INTAKE THIS WHOLE YEAR! I THINK I HAVE CONSUMED MORE WATER IN THESE LAST 2DAYS THAN I HAVE THIS WHOLE YEAR! LOL! BUT GOODLUCK AND KEEP US POSTED:<)

Well I wil tell you when you get past the third day you will be wanting less food. I know this sounds really impossible but your body kinda starts eating you own fat.. I know it sounds gross but soo true.. Get your protein shakes in . I would really eat the crap out of sugar free jello. When you drink you protein shake eat jello afterwards it really does a good job feeling you up and keeping you satsified. If you don't cheat on the diet you will lose so much more weight and you will be more prepared for after surgery. Also drinking tons of water seems to help. There will be times you just want to give up and just eat eat and eat..I did and everyone before you did. I know that you are strong and you can do it..

I am so glad to read your posts. This is my second day as well. Surgery date is March 22 too. And thank you for letting me know it gets better after day 3.

I had to cook dinner for my husband tonight and the smell of the food is overwhelming. My stomach has been growling all evening. I don't think about it during the day because I am so busy at work.

Good luck to you all.

It gets a lot better by day 3. I am on day 3 right now and even though food smells are tempting, I am not giving into them. My best advice would be to make sure you drink all your water & protein shakes and eat the heck out of Jello. I've only had 1 Jello since starting on Monday but I plan on having some tonight
