Six week liquid diet!

[Who'sThere 331]

So i am alittle over 4 weeks into my 6 week liquid diet! Im going crazy. I just want to eat, i feel as though im going crazy. Im so ready to say screw this surgery and throw away it all. For food? Yup for food! I feel like im at the end of my rope. I get hungry, easy irritated, on top of working school and a full time single mom. I just need someone who understands.

OMG! I can't even imagine 6 weeks on liquids pre-op. I thought 10 days was bad before surgery. I'm super impressed...and tempted to try it myself to see what I can lose before my surgery. Wow! You came on here to vent, and what you are doing is inspiring people.

Serna89 yes That's awesome surgery buddies I'm getting so anxious and nervous but I'm so ready to get this done.????

This will hopefully be a good experience to have found each other on here. Where are you from? I'm in Indiana. My surgery is a revision from a VBG. .. been having trouble with the ring migrating upward and causing choking, not to mention gaining every bit of the 91 pounds I lost the first time around, plus an extra 9! I'm very worried about failure! ????

I'm in Los Angeles California this is my first WLS I'm hoping to have the bypass but sleeve is second if the bypass can't be done I have had three c-sections and a exploratory laparotomy for a tubal pregnancy I was pregnant with twins and both were ectopic ???? And also had surgery for a ruptured ovarian cyst that was the size of a softball. So my surgeon said he has to see how much scar tissue I have.

That sounds so scary the choking feeling the band caused you. I'm getting so nervous as the day gets closer I'm trying so hard not to chicken out.

[christina247mom 19]

Don't worry about failure think positive there are alway's bumps in the road but we have come this far and just to get to this point shows commitment and success because as you know it's not that easy to get this far.

Well, for me this wasn't actually my plan. I was sent to the bariatric center because my other doctor couldn't do an EGD (she couldn't get the scope down). Once this got started the surgery part became medically necessary. It was either take out the ring or take out the ring and do a revision. I kinda got thrown into this rather quickly. This has all happened since April or May. Then, once they started to set up a surgery date I only got 2 weeks notice! I freaked out that first couple days and ate a lot of chocolate, but have calmed down to just occasional ice cream and such. Lol

@@kenya1129,

You are doing so well! A 6-week liquid diet is a LONG diet, and you are almost there! Just another 2 weeks to go. You have every right to be irritable and to complain. And underneath it, be proud of how well you are doing. Most WLS patients do not need to go nearly that long on a liquid diet, so you have a bigger challenge than most.

Grits cooked in bullion takes on a delicious meat taste. This almost like liquid meat helps get through the liquid diet low points.

I'm private paying in uk and haven't been told to do any liquid diet because, he says, with BMi around 39 don't need it. However I will do at least a week and in my six week run up I'm dropping the baddies on a weekly basis. Sweets and chocolate first to go.

So I think you are amazing and you will have built yourself such a solid foundation for the op too. You go girl x
