Surgery on Monday. I'm on my liquid diet, which is KILLING ME. I'm trying so so hard to stick to it, and it's so hard to be on social media or even watch tv and see ANY food cause it makes me so hungry ): the packets they gave me taste horrible and make me wanna barf. So I've been drinking water and juice and chicken broth. That's it ): also my nerves are setting in. As I'm getting closer and it's getting more real, it's making my stomach turn. My pre op class is tomorrow so I'll get all the paperwork and everything done so I won't have to do anything the morning of surgery, but it's just all getting very very real. I just need a boost of confidence to make it through this final stretch. Any advice??

Try to keep yourself busy or get out of the house when you can. Hell, some nights I just went to bed an hour early because I didn't want to be up thinking about the surgery or food. The last few days can wear you down. We've all been there but you can get through it. Just have to look forward to the future and a new healthier you.

Does your plan not allow you to have protein shakes? Most everybody's seems to or is that the packets you are referring to?

I think those are the ones they gave me! There's a box of vanilla packets and a box of chocolate packets and they are so disgusting I want to throw them up. So I don't know what to do!!

I know what you mean I have 5 more days of fasting until my surgery and I am trying to keep busy getting my house clean and ready so that when I come home there will be nothing to do... also I am going shopping to make sure I have everything in the house I need when I come home... ugh! Just keep busy.. may God Bless your surgery and I pray that you have a spectacular weight loss journey

Make your own protein shakes, or go grab some Premier shakes at walmart or cotsco

I only had to do 2 days liquid diet before surgery. I found it to be not so hard as I thought it would be.
I did get very very nervous the day before
Surgery but this support group really helped me get over the nervousness.
Now I am 8 days out and feel really great!!!

For me, the preop diet was SO much worse than postop. I agree with previous poster - stay busy! Clean out closets, read books, buy all of your postop supplies, etc. You can do this!

Hey everyone! Counting down the days .. I have 4 days til surgery... I can hardly think of anything else? Still on clear liquids til then and keeping busy.... a little nervous but, trusting God

It is hard. My surgery is Wednesday. I've been on this liquid diet for almost two weeks. I have a baby shower to attend tomorrow with all kinds of foods and sweets. Please pray for me !

You've got this!! I'm on day 5 of my liquid diet. Yesterday I threw my best friend a bridal shower. All of the food and sweets you could think of were there. I actually wasn't tempted because I made sure I drunk my protein shakes/ate my jello so that I would be full and wouldn't even consider sneaking a bit.

You can do it!
