I'm really struggling with the pre-op liquid diet so I'm turning to this page to keep my mind off of wanting to stuff my face. Thank God my doctor only requires me to be on the liquid diet for a week. I'm on day 5 and I feel like I could die. I'm doing 2 shakes per day, chicken broth and Jello for lunch and supper. Drinking Water and crystal light in between. I'm ready to get this over with!!!!! Surgery scheduled for Tuesday 1/31.

You can do it! Keep your eye on the prize.

I am 6 days post op RNY. I had to do the liquid diet for two weeks prior to my surgery on 1/23 and believe me, I hear you. It was difficult. I would've given anything to bite into something crunchy and actually chew it. But I was relieved to hear my surgeon say my liver looked great and reduced my risks during surgery.

You've got this! Good luck!

Can you chew gum when on liquid diet

Sent from my SM-S765C using the BariatricPal App

Yes, my surgeon said it was fine, i had gum during pre op. My liver was "near perfect" according to him. You just can't have it after midnight the day before surgery, or the day of surgery due to the saliva that builds up. They'll cancel your surgery for that. Hope that helps

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
