I'm set up for February 4th. Seems like forever away. People keep telling me, "oh don't worry". It bugs me cause I'm not worried. What seems to keep popping in my head is, am I doing the right thing.

I would like to here what others are thinking, going through.

My Doctors plan is two days preop clear liquid, not 10 like I've been reading on here. Anyone else similar?

Thanks,

Kimo

I read things about it getting easier after the 3rd or 4th day. I've been on liquids since Tuesday and have my surgery on the 5th. I'm not feeling like it's getting any easier, it's just the same slightly off putting liquids over and over and over. On this side of surgery I'm already tired of the liquids. I've lost 9-10lbs already, still i'd just like to chew a sandwich.

After about the third or fourth day on the pre-op diet' date=' I no longer cared about eating. Make sure to get enough protein and you will be good.[/quote']

I am the same way, I am amazed at how full I get on such little food. Need that protein though! Keep up the good work!

I am scheduled to be sleeved on the 21st. I have to start a high protein low carb diet 14 days prior to surgery and clear liquids 2 days before.

it does get better i was like that my first few days ,,,,, keep busy drink water ..

I start my liquids on the 5th I'm thinking its gonna suck for me but I know I can do it

I'm on day 3 and today seems harder than the other 2 days I feel a little weak' date=' light headed (headache from no caffeine) and nausea at times...I'm on clear liquid and protein shakes for the next 11 days before surgery...I'm definitely getting enough fluids I just didn't know if anyone out there ever felt like this either?

I would have a little caffeine and taper off...it won't effect shrinking your liver ans that's the reason for your preop diet...this isn't meant to be torture!

My sleeve is scheduled for Feb 11 in Alberta, Canada. I have been on a self-prescribed liquid diet since Monday (as my Dr doesn't require it, but said it would be a benefit). I have cheated a couple times, but overall it's been ok. Anyone else from Canada? I'm 35, 5'6 and 244lbs with a goal of 150lbs!

mine is on feb 4th also and i am just two day liquids also but they told me i could have protein drinks as long as not chunky or milk based water based only.

I am also on day 3... I am on either slim fast on day and carnation breakfast the other daym I had been alternating days with them. While doing the slim fast..I crave EVERYTHING! And all I can think about is food and I'm kinda depressed. Noticed on the carnation with 2% milk I feel fuller and do not crave anything. I'm not sure it its in my head or not... but its going to be a long 11 days! I had a major headache today

My surgery is scheduled for Feb 14. I start my liquid diet on the 7th. I am having the Lap Band removed, then followed up by the sleeve. I only lost 30 lbs with the Lap Band and kept off 20 for 4 years.

I am very excited and have tons of support from family, friends and co-workers. The last two days though I have started worrying what if I fail this surgery too. Then the other side starts with what if I sag so bad I am disfigured and my husband doesn't want to look at me anymore. My husband just looked at me in disbelief that I could think that. This has not thwarted my excitement but I feel I have two little devils on my shoulders. I just have to believe it is just nerves and remember I am doing this for my health and I have been looking forward to this for so long. I know I will be ok. Just Breathe. LOL

Im so happy to have found this site. My surgery is on the 15th. I'm happy, but a little nervous at the same time. every now and again I hear people I know ask me why, and I should just diet and excercise since I'm only 70 pounds overweight, but with my health issues, I figured i made the right decision.
