I’m May 15! Getting SO EXCITED but totally over this full liquid diet [emoji849]. I feel like I “ate” too much today but it was 3 shakes, 2 cups of broth, 2 Decaf herbal teas, a cup of SF pudding and popsicles. And roughly 60 gallons of water... (not really but you get the idea).

Is anyone able to drink caffeine right now? I am a caffeine ADDICT and the headaches and withdrawals are not for the faint of heart. [emoji30]

I haven't had caffeine in 3 months. I feel your pain. Not much longer.

Moved my surgery up to May 15th. Been on liquid diet since 4/24. Down 18 pounds so far. liquid diet is HARD but we can do this!!!!

I can’t believe you will have been doing liquids only for almost 3 weeks prior to surgery. How are you overcoming the salt cravings? Good luck surgery buddy, I’m May 15th VSG as well.

WOOHOO... good for you !!! My pre op appointment is May 2 .... surgery on the 7th.
Im very excited , but a little nervous. I start The liquid diet on Monday. Some say it’s easy others say .... not so much [emoji17]. I think A lot of that diet for the patient is phycological. Hope it’s not to bad .
How are you feeling about everything ?

How many days are we supposed to be on only liquids pre op? I saw my surgeon on the 2nd and he didn't say anything about it. I only have one more Dr. visit before surgery and that's 7day before.

I was on liquids for only a day before surgery... call your Doctor so you feel confident. I don’t blame you for not remembering, my pre op appt was a blur of info afterward.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
