    Thanks so much for your help and support. I'm a single mom and doing this with little support besides attending the support groups. Thanks again! Sent from my Z963VL using the BariatricPal App

  • I am always surprised to hear about other pre op diets. Mine is restrictive but not liquid at all. I can have 800 calories and 80 or more of Protien. They gave me a menu sample and lots of yogurts lea

Just try and keep reminding yourself of you are working for and how worth it that it will all be in the end. Good luck! You got this!!

I'm right there with you. I just started the clear liquid diet and I literally don't trust myself to be near food right now!! And I feel waterlogged!!

And the headaches....arg! Detoxing I guess.

It will be all worth it (my mantra) :)

Hey hun today I officially start day for of pre-op liquid diet. It gets easier and yes at first you will be HUNGRY. To help I took ice and blended my Protein shakes with it (once or twice a day) it helped to make me feel more fool- even if it was just ice lol

Hope Your Day is Great,

I only have to do is a one week liquid diet. I'm on day 5. Weekend I'm finding harder since I'm not at work. Normally weekends were my "cheat days" we're I'd eat more than I would during the week.

So, only being able to eat certain things at a certain times is hard but I'm dealing. Sadly, I have been craving food like crazy. Mostly food I would never crave. This whole process is really weird.

I'm sure I will be whining about the lack of wine.

I am on day 2 of mine and I am finding night times to be my hardest time of the day. I also am feeling so drained of energy. My surgery date is 9-20
