Me too...I'm on day 7. The first 5 days were horrible, but yesterday I seemed to have turned a corner. Thank goodness because I am one of those people that gets "hangry" and for those first 5 days, I wanted to kill everyone and everything in my path! LOL!

However, I will say that warm liquids are your friend and will help you to feel the most satisfied. Try to stick with those! Hang in there! You CAN do this!!!

I'm on the pre-op diet to at the moment, day six for me. Mine is two shakes and then light dinner, so not 100% liquid. I definitely felt like it got easier after the third day. Day 2 and 3 were really rough. I was hungry and tired pretty much all day. Day 6 though and I'm doing alright.

So, with it only being 2 days you probably won't have time to get "used" to it, but this phase will be over soon at least.

My surgery is tomorrow, Jun 7th. I've been on this liquid diet for two weeks! I'm down 13 lbs. I'm a 54 yr old male war veteran and haven't been this nervous in a long time. Is it too late to change my mind? Maybe I just won't show up. Will they come looking for me? Lol

I do not think they will most definitely go looking for you, but it will just be your loss.

You came to far to turn back or have al change of mind. There is also lot we have to go through for this special gift that GOD has awarded you a NEW LIFE. DO NOT GIVE UP, HANG IN THERE.I promise you you will be soooooooooo much happier later.☺☺

Keep drinking fluids...whatever your plan allows because it definitely helps. I'm on Day 9 of 14 and it's definitely gotten better. For me, it's been a good lesson in what is actual hunger and what is "head" hunger.

You WILL make it!

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
