Preop Diet...

I am scheduled for surgery on March 27. I stated my 2 week clear liquid diet yesterday and I am starving. I need help, support, encouragement, ect.....

So how did you all survive the two weeks before surgery...I feel like this is going to be the hardest part.

Good luck!! I am excited yet a little nervous. Keep in contact with me letting me know how you do! :)

I was put on the liquid diet on 03/11/13 and I can offically say the first week was horrible. I have my pre-op appointment on 03 April with the doctor to find out when my surgery is. I wasn't losing the weight I should have been losing so they put me on the liquids. It has been pretty rough, weekends are horrible, but during work I am ok. You can do it I promise! I just keep thinking what I will look like after the surgery!! Good luck!

Will do. Im very nervous. My mom had wls in the 80s and has kept off over 100 lbs. Her success is reassuring.

Wow! Day 7 and it suddenly got hard again! Headache and all! Thought I was past this. Has anyone else experienced this??

Proud of your mom!! Praying I can do the same!!!

LOL! Well ot doesn't help that my 16 year old was cooking potstickers all afternoon then leaving them out cuz she was full! Also looks like a weather system moved in which may be responsible for my headache. I woke up with it. So there are other things going on. :-)

My mom was 300lbs and 5 feet tall when she had her surgery. A vertical banded gastroplast1y in 1986. It was super risky. She got down to 130 or so, and over time her weight crept back to 190, but that's where she's stayed for years she's done great. Good motivation.
