I'm actually ok so far, but I'm only halfway through the 2nd day. Next week will be the worst though- I am going to Europe on a work trip so I have to pack all my protein shakes in a suitcase and hope customs doesn't freak out haha and then be stuck drinking them warm for 5 days. I just keep trying to see the bigger picture that this will all be worth it in less than 2 weeks.

My dr is only having me do the liquid diet for two days, I'm curious to know why it's not like everyone else. Makes me wonder if it will impact my success .

Yeah it gets easier as the days pass because today I feel better than the previous 3 days!! Hopefully by next week I don't feel as hungry anymore. Omg I hope customs doesn't spazz out lol Yeah I'm always trying to see the light at the end of the tunnel but obviously some days are easier than others :-/

Two days only?! Wow your lucky!!! 2 days isn't as bad as two weeks!! And every doctor is different because I have a friend who just did hers on Monday and she didn't have to do a liquid diet at all! All she did was clear liquids the day before surgery! So it all depends on the doctor I think...


Ugh I think hit the wall on day 2. Complete headache and so exhausted I can barely keep my eyes open right now.

Hi Suzanne!!! I'm so excited for us!!! I'm soooo ready for this lifestyle change! Can't wait to see both of our progress!! Keep in touch xoxo

I have had headaches also, as well as decreased energy. Our bodies are detoxing from all the sugar, carbs and other junk! That's a good thing! Drink lots of water! Keep your focus on the goal: make a list of all the reasons you want this and how you hope it will change your life. Post it on your refrigerator! It helps. Hugs! I'm in this with you!

Prayers!

Suzanne

Hello friend! What is your name? Today is the first day I am to be without Ibuprofen. I've been taking it for years, for knee and back pain. Can't take it ever again, as my sleeve won't allow for it. Kinda scared that I will be in pain, I have arthritis and weigh 316 pounds before beginning the pre-op diet. I live in Connecticut. What about you?

Day 8 of the pre-op diet and I feel AMAZING!!! The first 3-4 days were so hard with migraines, fatigue, etc. Today I have tons of energy and just feel great. Anyone that is struggling on the pre-op diet, just keep going!!
