I have been on the forums for a while now looking but I figured now is the perfect time to join. I am currently on day 3 of my pre-op liquid diet and I am not going to lie this is a hell of a lot tougher than I thought. I am scheduled to get my sleeve surgery done on May 23 but the surgery still being 12 days away seems like an absolute lifetime. I have not cheated at all yet but I have constantly thought about it. I will not cheat either because this surgery is what I really want I am ready to change my whole life I just needed a place to vent a bit and this is the absolute perfect spot.

way to go!!!! Keep up the good fight and all will be achieved!

Omg I thought I was the only one feeling like that. I'm having surgery on the 25th of May. I feel like I want to chew but I no I'm not hungry. I want to thank you so much for sharing your story because I don't feel alone now. Stay strong ???? I no your pain.

It actually gets "easier" after day 4 or so. By then your body will be in full ketosis and the headaches, lightheadedness, and moodiness should pass. It will likely still really suck, especially your energy levels because of the restricted calories. But at least transition into ketosis will be over. Whatever you do DO NOT eat carbs. If you have to cheat (please don't) make sure you are doing so with protein only. Carbs will kick you back out of ketosis and you will have to go through the whole process of headaches and misery all over again when you get back on track.

I am now on day 10 of the diet and my goodness it has gotten so much easier. I am basically able to go about my normal life without even having to worry about what I have eaten which is actually kind of awesome. My energy levels surprisingly enough are through the roof. I woke up early before work and ran 45 minutes at the gym, had a full day of work and even played 4 games of pickup basketball after work and besides being a little sore I feel fine. Surgery is only 5 days away and I cannot wait!

Hello going on my 3rd day of my pre-op diet doing well, the headaches are the only problem. My surgery is on May 31st.. Let's keep going we almost there.

The headaches really do go away after day 4 or so. Best of luck!
