Just finished the liquids. Had my surgery Tuesday. The liquids were VERY difficult. A few times I had small bites of food. But I can tell you this. Those cravings and hunger pains are GONE post op. Any time I felt hungry I had broth or Jell-O. As much as I wanted!

I'm having my surgery done on the 3rd & currently on a liquid diet as well. It's challenging indeed, even though my surgeon allows me to eat 800-1000 calories a day, I'm trying my hardest to stick to just liquids. I definitely made sure I had something to do every day, to keep me extra busy, until the 3rd...it's helping a lot! lmao

Have you purchased your bariactric Vitamins?? I found them to be a life saver during my pre-op liquids, 2 in the morning and 2 at night. Got me thru, no hunger cravings etc.... Try it

No I haven't,Im going to pick them up from the doctors office the day of surgery.

So I have my surgery on 12/29/2016 and I am in my 1000 calorie diet. The first 2 days I was like OMG I need a cheeseburger I am so hungry and then my husband was like can u pick me up some Burger King. I go there and yes I ate 1 nugget but I really wanted a cheeseburger. But I am hanging in there and getting ready for this 3 day liquid diet. That's what I am scared of, does anybody have any suggestions on how to make it through these 3 days of liquids.

I'm on five shakes a day and Clear Liquids. I've been on it for 6 days now and my surgery is Monday.

For me, I have to take it one day at a time. If I start thinking about it as a week long, I feel like I can't do it. If I focus on the timeline of five shakes and some broth and Powerade zero when I need a different taste, I can do it!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
