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.

Lol...a bacon egg and cheese sure sounds good right now

Yes you are lucky!! 2 weeks full liquid Optifast only shakes, 5 shakes a day + 800 calories a day

I'm not sure if I could handle just shakes. I guess it's one of those ends worth the means though. If my doc said i had to eat tree bark I would give it my best effort just to get the surgery though. I'm so tired of carrying an extra person with me all the time [emoji3] . Best of luck

I started my Pre-surgery Liquid plan. My surgery is slated for 11/7. I feel weird.. I feel so full with the Meal Replacements shakes..it’s all good. I will be honest with you, I’m kind of nervous. My mom who is heavy set herself who is also a diabetic has the audacity to lecture me what I shouldn’t be eating before my surgery date. She gave me this entire speech / lecture as though she had been sleeved before and advised me of the vegetables I shouldn’t be eating before my surgery date. According to her its standard surgery procedure. I might bleed to death. I was so annoyed! I was so taken back. Unfortunately I don’t have anyone to be with me after the surgery she is the only person that’s not working that will be available to drive me home from the hospital. I have concerns. I feel as though she’s going to try to either challenge or try to knock me down and I can’t let her! I need to embrace for impact!

My surgery date is the day after yours, November 09, 2017. My surgeon only has us on a one week liquid diet, which I start tomorrow. I'm incredibly, INCREDIBLY confused about the diet. Overwhelmed, to be honest. Hope you're handling it better than I am.

Wow, Mellymel... :/ I'm sorry you have to go through that. My surgery is on the 9th and my husband is NO help. That's another talk show that I'll leave for another day. He's my only support network as my kids just look confused (they're grown with kids of their own) when i talk about it. I officially start my liquid diet tomorrow (Nov 2), but I tested the waters a bit today to see how tomorrow would go.. and failed terribly. It's so confusing to me, keeping up with all this stuff, to be honest. SO confusing. :/

Hang in there! I'm sure you'll do just fine! And you already get full from the shakes.. which I found I don't. I'm hungry hungry and can't seem to nip that in the bud. ***hugs***

You should be able to get the online support you need here. Good Luck! Stay strong and in your mother's eyes she is probably only trying to help or mother you as best she knows how. Placate her the best you can and keep focus.

How are you doing on with the liquid diet? What is confusing about if for you?

Wow in Australia they want you to do 12-14 days on 2 Optifast shakes with water, 2 cups of allowed veggies and 1 palm size portion of lean protein (or two eggs). No diary, no sugar, nothing sweet and 1 coffee if you must.

I was extremely strict and had stir fry’s every night, shake at breakfast and shake at lunch and snacked on veggies and peppermint tea during the day. I actually enjoyed the diet.

Now Post Op, I’m struggling a bit trying to just get water and mini cups of apple juice down. Was sleeved on 31st Oct and vomited all night once I got out of the hospital. Very hit and miss with some of the recommendations (like Hydrolite icy poles - don’t think my body likes those at the moment).

How’s everyone feeling about their upcoming surgery? I’m so excited to get past this swelling and ugh phase so I can start some small portioned thicker liquids like blended soups and positron shakes next week.

My surgery is on the 9th!! My liquid diet is not going so well. I am starving and the headaches are terrible. Today, no headaches, but my nutritionist through a fit when I havent lost any weight for the surgery.

I'm on the 9th too! I've been on the liquid diet for 8 days and it's tolerable but annoying. Try drinking more water! It should help with the headaches. Good luck, 6 more days to go!
