I start my 2 week pre op liquid diet tomorrow. Anyone else start there's yet? If so, how is it going?

I have to only do a pre op diet for a week and that is also Protein Shakes for Breakfast and lunch and low carb dinner. I do a liquid diet for a day before my surgery.

omg, there are so many May threads! Mine is May 2nd. So nervous, and yet so happy and excited. No pre-op diet for me, but that's not a brag. I'm actually considering doing one because I worry my liver will be large and make surgery more difficult. It's just so hard to convince myself when it's not required, plus I was given on information so I am not so sure what to do. Honestly, the one above doesn't sound so bad. I already have a shake for lunch, and a usually my dinner is low carb.

I just got Approved and my surgery date is May 2nd. YAYYYY! I go Thursday for a 2 hour nutrition class then next Wednesday for my pre-op testing at the hospital. Can anyone tell me what this testing consists of? I start my 2 week pre-op liquid diet this Sunday.

I would love to hear how it goes. Mine is three days later on the 5th

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
