Packing my hospital bag now!

.this fasting stinks. .

@@Natasha S. I am very excited!!! One more Day!!!

Me too!!! But my goodness I have the worse headache right now from this liquid diet

Well if it helps at at I had them the first 4 days but on the fifth they are all gone .. Stay strong focus on the outcome..Bill

My sleeve surgery is on Monday 8/17 and I am freaking out. So nervous!

I am so afraid that I am going to be miserable for the rest of my life. Or inherit other kinds of health issues due to the surgery.

Thankfully, I do not have to do any of this pre-diet the rest of you are doing.

The day before the surgery I can just have clear liquids. But that's just one day!

good luck you will be ok..

Im august 14th and i am sooooo nervous now. I can't even see myself not being a big girl anymore. It's exciting.

Good luck!!!!

@@chellebell it really depends on your surgeon. I have seen people say their doctor doesnt require pre op up to a 4 week pre op diet. Im was put on a 2 week pre op diet. You will have 10 days so i think you are okay because honestly it took me a day or two before i stopped cheating.

Thank you all for the advices. Really helped me a lot!!! I took the shake for breakfast n lunch today but I felt like fainting because I didn't have enough food. I don't know how I'm supposed to survive for another 10days hahah :(

My surgery is also scheduled for the 25th and my surgeon only requires that I do a week liquid diet prior to surgery. So i start mine on the 18th. You also probably need to increase your protein and water intake if you are feeling faint. They require that i do a minimum of 5 shakes a day. Good luck to you.

Hi, everyone! My surgery is Aug 17. I've, of course, been on the preop diet for nearly 2 weeks now and it is sooo different than what a lot of you have talked about. Mine is a protein shake and a protein bar for both breakfast and for lunch, and a dinner of 5 oz of lean meats, 2 c of certain vegetables and 1 serving of fat (olive oil, mayo, etc). I can have up to 1200 calories a day, as long as I stay within the guidelines. I have stayed within the guidelines and haven't cheated at all....as very, very much as I have wanted to.

Now, when I read about people who went into surgery only to wake up and realize the doc didn't operate because the liver was too big, I get really scared. I do NOT want this to happen to me. Yikes.

May we all be total losers. :)

I'm in so much pain. I'm throwing up blood. I'm Starting to regret this
