Hello everyone today is the first day of my liquid diet .I didn't think it would be this hard but it is the first day honestly I think it's a mind thing because I knew it was coming I knew I would have to go on a liquid diet b4 my surgery 🤔So what you crying about well I'm still a mother have to cook for the little ones still right but I tell you what I'm going to give into it because I can I've waited 2yrs to have this surgery I'm not going to give up now food will be here still after my surgery (That's me self motivating myself)

Liquid is the best thing for you now. Just as important as it is to give your young ones the type of nutrition they need the same applies to you and for you your nutrition comes in a liquid form. You and your body will get use to it in no time. Tell that brain to shut up!

The first few days on liquids are the hardest. By day three, you'll be feeling better. Hang in there, and keep the end goal in mind!

Diamonds, yep, first couple days of the liquid diet are torture! You'll be on the other side before you know it...

Diamonds, this is the worst part of the process imo. I had a much more difficult time pre op with the diet than post up. You can and will do this and it'll just be a distant memory. It's all worth it!

The pre op diet sucks!! Just do what you can. Mine was 3 weeks long wth!! I had to have Optifast I was dehydrated constipated starving and just plain miserable!! It gets much easier post op. I lost 6 pounds pre-op so u can tell I didn't stick to the diet very well! But I kept to liquids and my liver was small enough to have my RNY.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
