I'm 4 days in my pre op two week diet and it's so hard ! Harder than I expected. I've done good up until today . I cheated a little. My dr is requesting I do all liquid diet for the two weeks. Protein Drinks with sugar free Jello or popsicle for snack and nothing else. The headaches are unreal. Can anyone give me any tips! My surgery is on the 28th !

I feel you- I had such a hard time on it. Honestly, I ended up eating cucumbers or lettuce with lemon and a tiny bit of feta once a day. I needed the crunch and it helped with my fluctuating blood sugar. The point of the diet is to put u into a ketogenic state (less than 20 net carbs a day), limit your calories as much as possible, and get u used to drinking instead of eating. I'm not gonna condone you cheating, but just sharing what I did to get through it. I lost 18 lbs and had surgery Wednesday, so I think it was fine.

These 2 drinks helped me I had a headache and I had instant relief. I found them at the Vitamin shoppe not sure where else to get them I hunted everywhere. Hope this helps! Goodluck everything will be worth it in the end.

I luckily didn't have to do a full liquid diet, but it was liquid plus one "healthy" meal a day. I found that the headaches were from dehydration combined with caffeine withdrawal. Taking some advil or excedrin and trying to double my Water intake helped.

For me, the pre-op diet was 100 times harder than anything post-op, so just hang in there and do the best you can, and plow through.

Thanks so much , trying to see the big picture of it all . But going from food to no food at all is what's hard ! 9 days left , I got this!

      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...

      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
