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

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!

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!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
