4/20 here as well. Started my pre-op liquid diet last Monday. First couple of days were a little tough, feeling sluggish and fatigued but have adjusted now. Can't wait for the 20th to get here.

I completely understand. These first 2 days I have felt so drained. I'm hoping it does get better. April 20th will be here before we know it!

Day 6 and I am exhausted. I felt a little light headed earlier. I am hungry and was having thoughts to cancel surgery so I could just eat something other than liquids. I was hoping it would get easier and for me it's not. Can not wait til 4/20 gets here to get this procedure over with

I will definitely keep you in my prayers. I believe this is probably the hardest thing I've ever done. I've only been on the diet a couple of days but staying busy has been a life savor for me. You can do this! It's only temporary in the scheme of things. I try to keep reminding myself that.

Hi Ladies!

I am April 20th as well! Hang in there Aurangina! You are almost at the finish line, we all are. I was supposed to start the liquid diet on Monday but decided to start today figuring starting on a work day would be insanely difficult. I confess today was hell. I had a splitting headache, felt weak, exhausted and my brain was in a fog. HOWEVER, I know this is for a good cause and we are all almost there!

SO EXCITED!!!!! Counting the days. Can almost say 8 days to go!

Jill

Thank you so much. It may not be the worse for me but right now it sure feels like the end is near lol. I got light headed this morning. Day 7 half way to surgery... 1 more week I can do this!! We can do this...

Good luck! The headaches lasted 2 days but does get better, the fog never subsided for me. I feel like my brain is I'm a cloud. I am extremely tired. Just like everyone trying to focus on the prize of a better us.

      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!!
