I was told to beware of the carbs. Muscle milk has a lot of carbs and I was told to stay under 5.

You will be fine!!! I am officially 10 pounds down and started my pre-op liquid diet on the 8th of Feb. I will be 110% honest and say that the first three days were absolutely horrible and I was questioning if this was really going to be worth it. By day 5 I was completely fine and now I am even better and on day 8 and all I can think about is the fact that I only have 13 days left before my surgery date!!
What has helped me a ton, is staying busy and drinking Water (when it wasn't time for my Protein shakes, sugar free Jello, broth or sugar free popsicles) until my stomach hurt. I am talking sipping from the minute I wake up, to the minute I went to bed. Between sipping like crazy and bathroom visits eating has become a distant thought.
It isn't easy and takes A LOT of self control, but it is not impossible, and very much doable. Just keep your eye on the prize and keep moving forward. You got this!!

One more week girl! Very proud!! I "officially start my liquid diet on feb 28. Good luck to you. Btw im having gbp. You?

I have a best friend who is also a rny success story. I need all the support I can get because this is so very hard! I will not be defeated! I'm needing support and prayers! I'm determined!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
