I'm on day 3 of my liquid diet and so exhausted I just want to sleep all day. Which would be fine except I actually have to write a final exam tonight. :( Just sent my husband out for some diet soda. I know I'm not supposed to have caffeine but if I don't have some, there is no way I will be able to write this exam.

Were others exhausted on the liquid diet? What did you do to manage it? (Besides sleep? !) I also have to work this week...!

I don't envy you. I had "cotton mind" during my liquid diet...felt like I was thinking through a haze. Hated how I felt. What a bugger to have to do exams during it. Don't have anything helpful, just wanted to say I feel for you, and wish you the best.

Thanks. :) The timing really does suck, but it was unavoidable. I just had a diet soda, which seems to be helping me study. I'll have another before the exam tonight and hopefully that will get me through it. (I'm working on my Master's in Business Management and the exam is Financial Accounting which is the WORST class I have taken of the entire degree. I can't wait for it to be over!!)

Try hot tea or ice tea instead of soda. You are experiencing carb withdrawal and it feels a lot like having the flu. It gets a little better after day 5, day 3 is the absolute worst. This is against doctor's orders, so do with it what you may, but if this was me I would eat two ounces of tuna - especially if I had a final riding on my brain power. You are far enough away from the surgery date that it will leave your stomach in plenty of time. It's Protein.

I don't like fish but maybe I could eat a couple ounces of chicken? I'll see how I feel later. It's 2pm now, the exam is at 7:00... thanks!

Kaydo - I am also on day 3 of the pre-op liquid diet and I seem to be the exact opposite......here I am at 1:53 am wide awake! I hope you are able to overcome your fatigue.

Wow, I wish that had been my side effect (at least for a couple of days)! I think I did okay on my exam. It was challenging, and I needed almost the entire time allotted but I got through it, at least. I won't have the grade for a few days but at least it's OVER. Phew!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
