Started my pre-op 2 week diet and man o man I'm struggling. First off the Bariatric Advantage banana is not so hot...ok but not great..

2nd, I have the watery poops (yuckkkkkkkkkkk)... and it's horrible... Is this normal to have diarrhea like that, doesn't it cause dehydration?

3rd, I'm STARVINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG..

I mean like really really hungry.

Why do some doctors not do 2 weeks and some don't.. I have never been told I have a fatty liver and I have had surgeries before (last one in Oct to have my gallbladder out).

I don't know how I will make it through the next 14 days..

Helpppppppppppppppppp

My surgery is April 23rd and I am on day 2 of my liquid diet. I thought about cheating so many times today but managed to stand my ground. I am so hungry!!! I have been peeing like a racehorse all day as well, lol. I was not expecting the irritating headaches either. This is going to be a huge learning curve for this girlie!

me and you both! i am going thru the exact same thing, today was my first day .my surgery date is 4/23 too

I started my diet today. Thankfully it's only a week, but I'm very restricted. I can only have Protein drinks, flavored Water, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles and broth. I'm already starving! I completely feel your pain. I keep wondering how I'm going to make it through the next 6 days.

My preop diet is exactly like yours, today is day 3 for me! Mine is also for a week but I started a day early. BEST OF LUCK on your wls journey!!! We can do it!

Hunger pains suck! I guess I'm gonna try my first sugar free Popsicle, yay!

The sugar free jell-o puddings are the best!!! They taste delicious! Try the chocolate/vanilla swirl and also chocolate flavor...you wont regret. Ask you nut if you can have it.

omg mine is 4/23 yayyyyy are you nervous i am ? are you getting a filter for blood clotting ?

I don't think I'm nervous just yet... it's like... this is it. This is my time to get it right. Now the night before... I know I will be hahaha... I'm not sure about the filter... I'm scheduled for my pre-op appt tomorrow for all the lab work... I will definitely let you know. 4/23 is right around the corner. I pray we get through this!

I don't know anything about the filter for blood clotting, but I definitely plan on asking. I have found that I really like the Muscle Milk Lite drinks in the chocolate flavor. I have also enjoyed sugar free jello with sugar free pudding layered on top. The liquid diet is hard but I am now in day 3 and the headaches seem to have let up a little. April 23rd is the big day and I know I have to do the liquid diet for 3 weeks post op so I better get used to it. I know I can do this and can't wait to remove the fat suit I have been wearing! Just have to take it one day at a time. We all can do this!

Omggg! I cheated today .... Ughhhh I feel horrible I wonder if that will stop me from having my surgery do you guys think that will happen ?

Thank you! Best of luck to you as well! My days are counting down slowly, but surely. I did cheat a bit last night and had a can of white meat chicken and some hot sauce (weird combo, I know). I did chew it very thoroughly and it was all protein, so I guess it could have been worse! I've been strong since then though.

Hey girl... I know it has been hard. What did you eat? Did you go back to your liquid diet? I'm sure it won't be a problem. Just stick to it girl from here... You got this!

Well that's not to bad! At least your getting back on track!

You must be super high risk for blood clotting if they are putting in a filter. Have you had blood

Clots before?

My surgery is April 29, and I'm doing the pre-op diet too. Three liquid today plus a lean cuisine at night, which feels pretty doable. One thing I figured out right away though was that I had to get all the tempting stuff out of the house, or out of sight anyway. I put my shake stuff in one covered so I don't have to open the other ones and see all the other food, and refrigerator things for me in one section so I'm telling myself it is off-limits to go looking through the rest of it. Good stuff I can cheat with is never "out of mind" but putting it out of sight makes it just a little bit easier! Good luck everyone.

no i never had any problems with blood clotting , they do it to ever patients becasue they give you blood thinner in the OR afterward some patients have blood clotting so the filter prevents clots from going to your heart i guess it just a precautions
