I am currently on Day 2 of my pre-op liquid diet. It has been a struggle to get through the past couple of days. Any of you all have any tips on how to stay motivated and does it get any easier as the days go by? Any suggestions or words of motivation would be so highly appreciated!

All about the end result!! It is tough but is necessary for the surgeon to perform the surgery without complications. 6 months from now you will be wearing smaller clothes and feel great about yourself!!

I am on day 10 and I struggled through day 4 and it did get much easier for me. My body got used to it and has not been bad at all.

The first three or four days suck. You just have to power through those first few days then it gets so much easier. You've got this. Keep your eyes on the prize.

Thanks so much for all the words of encouragement. Today is Day 3 and it's getting somewhat easier because my mind isn't always telling me I'm hungry. I know how important This is and I want to be successful

Drink lots of water. Like way too much. Keep your stomach full. Sleep if you can to pass time.

I "cheated" on my 10 day pre-op with a can of green beans just so I could have a "chewing" sensation by day 8... My doctor didn't worry too much about it. The end goal will justify it all. Before you know it the 10 days will be done.

My gastric sleeve surgery is scheduled for this coming Thursday. I have been panicking, and as a result, I have been eating one big meal per day since my two week liquid pre-op diet started! I have been doing liquids for the majority of the day, but end up caving by the time evening comes. Yesterday was a good day because I stuck to the liquids. However, I'm petrified now because it's so close to my surgery, and this evening was not a good one. Any words of encouragement or advice on what to do? Is there any way that i will still be ok by Thursday?

Did you have your surgery? How did everything go?

Any clear liquid suggestions? I'm scheduled for 9/25. And want to start stocking up

Powerade Zero (variety of flavors), Swanson Chicken, Beef, and Vegetable Broths, Bai 5 calorie drinks, Goya Bouillon packets, sugar free popsicles, and of course good old plain water.

With the broth, I like to put a little garlic powder or other seasonings for taste. Nothing like pepper because that my irritate your stomach. Also,for me, I found that the colder or the hotter the liquid, the easier it went down. For example, the Popsicles and the broth went down quite easily for me.

I had my surgery last Thursday, and I have decided to document my journey, including what I have been drinking during the process. Feel free to like, subscribe, and comment on my YouTube channel. Here's the link, and best of luck on your journey!
