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!

:rolleyes:

Thanks so much!

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

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
