I'm not hungry, but it looks like I only got 375 calories and 70 grams or protien. How long will I be this exhausted?

I am still pre-op, and have not started the diet yet, but I have heard that the first three days is the hardest. Hopefully you will feel better after that.

My experience was, day 1 fine, day 2 worst, rest of the time totally fine as long as I kept full on the non-starchy veggies I was allowed to have. But I agree most peopl are fine after first couple days. Also please keep in mind, that as hungry as you may get pre-op, literally you will come out of surgery with NO hunger, and it will stay that way for some time after surgery so hopefully knowing that will help you through.

I am on day 6 of a 14 day liquids only diet. Surgery is on July 5!! Excited, but a little nervous. I will say, the first few days were harder than the rest....but it still gets hard! I have to avoid family gatherings that involve food (like BBQs) right now. I hope everyone else does well. HANG IN THERE!!

A little secret: I waited until day 4 to eat some Beef broth...it tasted SOOOOOO GOOOD!!! Its amazing what tastes good when you wait a few days before waking up your taste buds.

I am on day 6 of 14 day liquid diet. I also did not try broth until day 5 and I was in heaven!!!! I couldn't believe it. First thing I had tonight for supper. Yum. Who knew? . I am allowed 3-5 shakes per day. I had to purchase them through my doctors office. They are only 16g Protein per shake. I started off the first few days having four a day. Now I do good to get three down? I think I'm not hungry/thirsty for them. But any little bit of exercise I do or cleaning of the house I'm exhausted within minutes!! Like legs hurting, sweating profusely and feeling faint. I'm sure it's because I'm not getting enough of the Protein Shakes in right? What can I do other than force myself to drink them?

- are you taking your B12? ? If so, how much? I think that has been something that helps me get through the day! It sounds like Your doing great. Does your surgeon allow any solids? I have been reading about some people being allowed certain solids as well. I'm having some stomach pain tonight (feels like hunger pains) and WISH I could have something solid in my stomach. Ugh!

No B12 well I hate to sound dumb but only what is in my Vitamins. I am the chewables multi Vitamin 2 per day. And there are Vitamins included with my shakes that I was told to take per day also. The first week of pre op diet I can have liquids, shakes, dill pickles, broth 5 small pieces of fresh fruit and or add the fruit to the shakes. Second week I can have liquids only (broth, shakes, Water, crystal light).

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
