I am on day 5 of the pre-op liquid diet. I am completely sticking to it and have already lost 9 pounds. I am just really tired! Is this normal? I was a big diet Pepsi and tea drinker before so I am thinking it's the caffeine withdrawal that's making me tired. Am I the only one who feels this way?

Surgery is Feb. 19th. Seems like it’s years away. This pre-op diet kinda stinks!

I was exhausted the entire 2 week liquid diet!! Like, I'm gonna pass out, I can't even move kind of tired!! I was sleeved 2 days ago and feel way better now than I did before!! I can't explain it, but that's my experience so far. Best of luck to you!!

I started on my sublingual Vitamin b supplement since I've been on my modified 2 week diet( I have three shakes and a tiny dinner). It really helped me, I can tell a difference if I forget to take it.

Just hang in there your surgery will be here soon enough.. Your body is having withdrawals from carbs, as well as your diet drinks. Get some rest..slow down with your activity when u feel tired. Yes try the suggestion of a sublingual B12. Remember|. This too shall pass".

I was tired at first, then about day 5 I started feeling human again. Could be the caffeine withdrawal, my doc wanted me off caffeine before I started the pre-op diet.

One thing that helped me was green tea. I drank a lot of it - it replaced my coffee.

You're so close - keep sticking to your plan!

My surgery is also the 19th. I'm at the end if day 4, and tonight is the first time I have had any kind of energy. I'm hoping it stays this way.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
