Dr didn't require a preop diet but wanted patients to lose 10 pounds. I am doing mostly liquid and Greek yogurt. Please keep this thread rolling. Makes me feel better knowing there are others that are in the same exact "boat".

@@alexsisv ok, my dr had me do liquid two weeks and clear liquid 2 days. Yes I was every grouchy for the first 5 days , very hungry , head ache and like the commercial (snickers ) I wasn't myself when I'm hungry. But I got accustom to it . But I still feel some hunger . I've lost 10lbs alone on this two week . Don't know if it's just Water weight I lost because my clothes don't feel it. But sure can't wait for my clothes to start feeling it !!! ????

Ok 3rd day post op. I'm having trouble getting all that liquid in . I'm having gas pain that is just horrible. I'm walking as dr ordered. My stomach keeps gargling and as soon as I sip on Water I have to burp. I have no incision pains haven't had to take any pain meds. As soon as I get a gas pain I start walking around the house that works. I do feel some pressure on the rip gastric area but I herd that is normal. I have a Jackson prat which collects Fluid or blood from the inside . I'm taking out about 15ml 3x a day. Feeling good. Can't wait to get to the gym!

I made it thru too, Friends. Sleeved on 9/15. 1st day was great because of the drugs, 2nd I fought big time nausea and felt so sick. 3rd day was massive headaches. Today I am much better. Little sips of liquids and started shakes.. up to about 25 oz. So far. Bubbles in tummy feel uncomfortable as they come up. No pain today and no nausea. .. I also had a surprise hernia repair. Glad to see others checking in from the big 9/15 day. Anyone noticing sensitivity to smell? Everything smells really strong to me...

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
