Just needed to vent. I am on a ten day liquid diet, surgery is Sept 19. The mind games have begun. I really miss food. I keep thinking... Will I ever be able to enjoy food again??? Will I ever feel full and satisfied??? Do I really want to do this??? I know it's mind over matter at this point. That doesn't make it any easier. I missed work today. Woke up and I was dizzy and lightheaded. Took my meds and realized that I forgot my blood pressure meds yesterday. So today was like a double whammy! Uhgggg! Please tell me it gets better...

I'm with ya the mind games Suck !!! Hang in there ! My surgery is sept 18

Good job on getting this far Jessica I'm on day one and feeling that way. Except I'm not on a full liquid diet I get to have a small dinner and nothing but protein shakes for breakfast n lunch. I hope everything gets better when I feel like eating I get on here instead it has worked for me so far lol

Thanks... If we can get through this, surgery should be a snap! Every doctor is so different. It doesn't make sense. Some don't have a pre-op diet at all, some can eat a little, some are longer and some are shorter! You would think there would be a bariatric standard for this....IDK...

I am on day 3 of my 14 day liquid routine...i agree...yuksville! I feel so sorry for myself...told dh he could cook outside since weather is nice. I'm thinking after surgery there won't be the hunger...isn't that part of the reason for surgery? My surgery date is Sept 24...a week from next monday! I have been on this road for 18 months...lean green diet last three months (lost 40 pounds). I would give anything for lean green right now. I feel yr pain...heck...i share it!! Lol

I am also on day 3 of my 14 day pre-op diet with surgery on the 24th! Hang in there, we can do this!!!

ALL pre-op diets stink!! Lol. But when you are looking amazing and feeling better than you ever have in your life - it's going to seem like a very, very small price to pay. You're gonna love the new you!!

Stay strong and focused it does get easier the closer to your date

Thanks everyone!!!

It gets better. I'm a little over 3 months & I can eat regular food in small portion & if I over eat which doesn't happen often out it goes but over all loving the new me.
