Just looking for someone to talk to to help raise my spirits. This pre op liquid diet has me feeling pretty sad, but I know I can do it. I just have no one that relates to how I'm feeling- which is hungry! Lol

Liquid diet is the absolute worst part of the whole WLS journey in my opinion, and it gets better, it really does. I had surgery in Florida, who is performing your surgery?

Dr. Rehnki at South Pasadena!

Ok, I'm not familiar with that surgeon, I had one surgery with Dr. Simon in West Palm Beach and another with Jefferson Vaughan in Jupiter, both were good, Vaughan was exceptional. At any rate, like I said, the liquid diet is the worst, and it will get better! I was very unhappy while I was doing straight liquids and questioned the surgery constantly, but things progressed much better once I was allowed dense protein.

I cannot wait for my dense protein days [emoji7]

I'm really struggling too. I'm just so hungry [emoji174]

Currently only allowed to have Optifast, broth, and other clear liquids so that's all I've had besides a couple bites of cucumber today

Oh ok. So sorry I was allowed clear broth during my pre diet and post op.Good luck on your endeavor
