Started my two week liquid diet today. Surgery is November 8th. Anybody else out there with the same surgery date. Would love to have some people to bounce things off of and talk to during this journey.

I used pre-packaged broth and also made my own using cut beef bone from the Asian market, carrots, celery, onion, salt and pepper. First I braise the beef bones then add a few cut up celery stalks, chunked whole carrots and onion. Boil for a couple of hours and salt and pepper to taste. Then strain out the solid ingredients. I also add a little fresh lemon juice and a little finely chopped fresh cilantro and jalapeno just before serving. The home-made broth made the liquid diet far more palatable and I looked forward to having it for dinner.

My surgery is the 8th, as well!! I was so proud of myself yesterday; I went to pick up cat food and some more sf jello for myself and I didn't break down and buy any junk food to sneak into my diet.

Welcome to day 4!!

My surgery date Nov. 7. I started my liquid diet Tuesday 10/24/17 and so far I've lost 5lbs. Praying for 15 more before surgery.

Did anyone else have horrible headaches? I'm really suffering and don't know if it's like caffeine withdrawal or just food withdrawal? It really sucks.

Had a very bad headache during day 2. Nothing really since then. Currently on day 5 and I think my body and now used to it.

@FL*Girl it is likely both. Your body is used to caffeine and carbs and going through withdrawal.

And yes it sucks and shakes still suck post-op too. But it will be a faded memory at some point. Hang in there.

Surgery date is November 7th. On the second day of liquid diet. If I can live through this, I can live through anything.

Tummy surgery is November 7th. I’m on my 6th day down 13 pounds for a total of 33 pounds. Today I’m freezing and tired.

Did your surgeon give you an amount he had to lose before surgery? Mine did not. I was just put on a 10 day liquid diet.
