2 weeks pre-op. Starting 2 week liquid diet tomorrow

I'm having RNY March 16th. I am new to the forum and would appreciate any support I can get. My family and close friends have been great but they're 'normal' weight. What ever that is.

I heard the first 2 days of the pre-op liquid are the worst. I also just started my monthly cycle so I'm totally stressing. Any words of encouragement that helped you please send them my way. Thanks

    You've got this !!! You've come this far to opt out now !!!! I just had my beginners class 2/23 and I have my date to see the surgeon on 3/20 to FINALLY get a date for actual surgery and when I start my liquids . Not going to lie that 10 days really has me worried as well ! But I'm so ready to get this done and over and actually start living my life !!

    I'm also having surgery on 3/16. Congratulations and good luck. I began the two week pre op diet today too and I'm hungrier than I would have been on any other day. I think it's just the stress as the day gets closer and it becomes more real. At least we don't have to do this alone!

    Day 1 on pre-op diet: success! I think the excitement of being so close helped.

    It's great knowing there are others going through the same things as me. Beth83 and BetterMEsoon please keep me posted. Congratulations!

    1st day liquid diet. Not as bad as I thought it would be. I'm guessing it had to do a lot with work being so busy. But honestly I looked at my lipstick today and thought it was a tootsie roll. (I don't even like chocolate)... Let's see what day 2 brings...

    I've almost made it through day 1 of my pre-op diet. Heading to bed very soon. All I can think about right now is a snack so it's best I go sleep! Lol
