@chellevsg I've been on the same liquid diet since June 23rd and 2 days prior to surgery I can't have any Protein at all, just broth, sugar free Jello, and Water. It does get better! You're in the home stretch

My surgery date is 7/7/16 . On day 3 of the pre op diet and having a horrible time . It's so bad that I'm thinking about canceling my surgery. Is the post op diet comparable to the pre op ? I don't know if it's caffeine withdrawal or the strict diet but I feel terrible ! Headaches, nauseous and no energy . HELP .... Please give me hope and tell me it gets better .

@@podg25 I'm only 35 BMI then I was loosing weight by change of food habits because I didn't know if I was gonna get approved but yes I did so I had lost weight. I'm trying to eat now to gain a few before I do the liquid diet I don't know if I'll do the two weeks because I'm not at the BMI I was and don't want to be too small, just my crazy thinking that they'll think I'm too small but I have other qualifications like hbp, sleep apnea,etc. I'm just lost here

So, can we talk about something NOT fun? Is anyone having trouble with really bad Constipation on the pre-op? I started taking Fiber supplements, then today I broke down and took laxatives, but still NOTHiNG. Is becoming very uncomfortable and I am afraid if things don't move before surgery in 2 days, the gas pains and everything will be much worse. Anyone else experiencing this?

I've got my surgery date for 7-18-16. Nervous. Anyone else have a July surgery date scheduled?

I will be converting my band to sleeve on July 8th.

July 20th.

Currently on a 4 week pre-op liquid diet.

It's been a lot harder on this diet than I thought. Am nearly finished week 2. I posted in the July thread but this one seems to be way more popular. I went on a pre pre-op diet too for a few months, and when I switched to the pre-op diet I had to eat even less. And knowing that I couldn't have the occasional takeaway, plus starving, made it so hard. Must admit I cheated twice in week 1... since it was carbs it put me out of ketosis. Since then I'm back on the bandwagon and feel like I got it out of my system. Am currently in a good mindset, however the fact that I can eat some carbs in a month or two keeps me sane, as bad as that may sound to some.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
