Hey guys! So my surgery is set for this upcoming Thursday and I was put on a liquid diet one week prior to the surgery. I'm having a hard time with this, any suggestions to keep mentally strong?

Keep your eyes on the prize. Make plans for meals, exercise post sleeve. Enjoy your life as it is now and look forward to the new you. You are not just reducing you are being released.

The liquid diet before surgery is notorious for being hard to take. You are not alone. Tough it out, you are investing a tough now for a much better tomorrow.

My surgery is Wed Jan 16 at 3:00!! I'm so excited. I have been on pre op liquid over a week and all I can say I'd it is worth it! I'm down 14.6 lbs already!! I found that cucumber sliced with some rice vinegar helps me in afternoon, though doc said no veggies 3 days prior to surgery.

Knowing after 7 days I have lost some weight has really helped in keeping me focused! Hang in there we are almost to our dates!!!!

Me too! Big day is the 16th! Praying for safe surgery and speedy recovery for all of us!!! I have decided that I will be good and keep my preop diet. Came a long way, and so close now , cant afford to mess things up. I was told kaiser weighs until the day of surgery - so no weight gain allowed.

Just know that it's for a short time and by sticking to your pre op diet you'll get the best outcome post surgery. Tough it out and remember why you're doing this!

Good luck,

Deano

Thank you, everyone!!! I'm taking on today with a different mentality!
