This is day three for me on the 2 week pre-op diet and i am already struggling[emoji20]a lot! NO FOOD? REALLY? I imagined it would be just a little easier then this [emoji30]I did great on my nut visits an changing my eating habits, even got my twin doing the liquid diet with me trying to keep me motivated but i dont think I’m going to make it ??‍♀️when I’m home all i want to do is sleep so i wont eat anything! But seem like lately Im mostly at work STARVING[emoji19]and it seems like all of a sudden every one wants to offer me food( no-one there knows I’m having surgery but i do say I’m on a diet) it doesn’t seem to matter. How are you getting though or how did you make it through the two weeks? Any helpful tips would be great I’m already over these protein shakes and broth[emoji24]

Well its getting closer to the day! How is everyone who’s on their liquid diet doing so far? Would love to hear from some of you?

I'm not gonna lie, it's hard, especially when I get home from work. Even now 11 days on this diet and my stomach is growling. How are you doing?

I'm down 10 lbs. You? What's the mouthwash for? I don't have to do any of that. So weird, so many different ways all these dr.'s are telling us to do. Some people don't have to do a preop diet at all, just the night before, while others are on only liquid diet for 2 weeks. I don't get it.

Wow that’s awesome. I’m still only 10 lbs down. I had food funerals up until the day before I started my preop diet.

Im about to start my 2 week liquid diet. The length of time is based on your body fat percentage. Mine is 42%. Does that help?

@hillnicole34 - do you have teeth issues? Like gingivitis or something? I can only imagine how vile it is, and swallowing....yuck. What the heck is in that stuff?

What kind of mouthwash is it?

What kind of mouthwash is it?

nystatin

Nystatin is an anti fungal. Sometimes if you have to take antibiotics you can get thrush in your mouth so that maybe why

Starting my liquid diet tomorrow! Surgery a week after that. I'm so beyond excited to start this new chapter of my life.

Congratulations bailboheme! The liquid diet was by far one of the hardest things about this process for me but you can do it it really is worth it in the end! Had my surgery today no issues so far

hillnicole....

You had your surgery? Wow.. congrats! Are you overnighting it in the hospital? You feeling any stomach area pains? I'm excited for you!

My surgery is next Monday... I'm getting nervous.
