Hello everybody I am struggling with the pre surgery two week liquid diet. Starting to get hungry and fail.

Yep...

It sure sux...

But it's gotta be done...

I did 4 weeks with no guarantee of the procedure going ahead at the end of it...

Stick with it @@Capri3Js

The results you'll see are well worth the sh*t you're going thru now...

What I never understood about all this is some people have four weeks some people have to some people have one week some people have two days some people have the night before I never understood what the differences I know there's different surgeons and there's different reasons but what makes the difference in how long I'm five days postop I had to do a week of liquids and it was really hard I lost 15 pounds in that week post op but who makesthat decision on how many weeks you go on liquids I never understood that

I had no weeks pre-op liquid. In fact, at our preop appointment, a week prior, the PA told us to eat a NORMAL meal the night before. The only requirement was that we stop eating and drinking everything by 10pm. Other than that, I ate almost normally up until the night before and I was 277 at 5'5". So I don't get it either. Our surgeons, Atkinson and Soon, are known for the amount of WLS they do it here in Vegas and have great reputations so I dunno. I'm glad I didn't have to do the before one coz it's bad enough, worth it, but bad enough during the post op. At least my stomach isn't the size it was so it didn't bother me to not eat after the sleeve. I'm not sure I would have been able to do 2 or 4 weeks before. I'm almost 4 weeks out now and it's going real well. Stick to what your team tells you but I don't understand it either.

My surgeon does not require pre-op diet, only liquids they day before... He said the liquid diet weakens you and he wants people strong for surgery as well the fact that for the first week after surgery many struggle to get in food. My surgeon is a bariatric center of excellence, I going to assume that means their follow the most current research.
