I was on Facebook, but I find this forum much better. But if I decide to go back, I want in....now the important reason for my post...I am having the toughest time with my preop liquid diet. I spoke with my surgeon, his answer was to drink another shake. How much Protein is too much? I actually feel like I'm withdrawing from food. I have stomach pains, cramps, sweats, shaky and diarrhea. I know I'm a food addict and expected withdrawal, but this is super hard!! Is anyone else struggling like I am? My friends and family only help so much. They don't know what to say or how to help. I find when I can eat my one and only lean and green meal, I inhale it like I've never eaten before, and within 30 mins I'm so hungry again. I'm trying to stay busy and not think about it, but it's hard to do when you are feeling "sick". It's almost like I'm dope sick!! Needed ex to talk me down from the ledge on Friday night cuz all I wanted and thought about was eating. I've failed at every single diet I have ever done, obviously, so I'm so afraid I'm going to fail and it's 2 weeks of this. I'm welcome to any and all comments, suggestions and if I'm being a whiney baby, tell me that too! Just afraid of failing....again!!!! HELP!

Hello Everyone! I just got my date - April 15! I'm in the Dallas area and using Dr Veninga. Anyone else getting their GS in Dallas/Plano about the same time? I need to get my blood work done this week. I've been doing the Opt-Fast shakes since Friday. Doing OK...down 3 lbs in 2 days, which is amazing since I usually have to really work for every oz. My biggest fear is that the GS won't resolve my endocrine issues that have made it so hard so lose ( thyroid, POCS, insulin resistance). I so want to lose! I lost 85 lbs in 2006 thru diet and exercise, but 4 years later as I went thru menopause I could not keep it from coming back. I'm afraid I'm broken that way. I'm hoping very low calorie intake I'll do it for me. Anyone with similar issues? Any suggestions?

I too am not saying anything. Very few people know. I'm not having surgery until the end of May, but would love to join.

My surgery is tomorrow morning and I just bought sugar free Jello, pudding, fudge pops, popsicles, plain Greek yogurt, and bananas for my Protein Shakes. I figured that should be enough to hold me over at least for this week. I'll be on full liquids for 2wks post-op until I'm cleared for soft phase.

Fortunately I haven't been nervous or anything...why?...I'm not sure. I was more freaked out about preop appt, I guess I'm just ready to get it done. Best of luck to you and praying for a speedy and healthy recovery for you.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
