I have the headaches too! I’m not hungry at this point but it’s getting harder to drink my required Protein. And I’d usually take excedrin for the headaches but I know the rule is Tylenol. Which sucks because Tylenol has never in the history of ever worked for any kind of headache or pains I’ve had 🤦🏽‍♀️ Good luck! We’re almost at the finish line to start our new lives

You’ll be out of this liquid misery a little sooner than me, lol. June 27th sounds like a great day for a rebirth 🙂 My surgeon says 3:15pm but the hospital said they have to call me the day before to give me my actual time because surgery times often change for earlier than originally anticipated

It’s to a point that the smell of food makes me nauseous for some reason. Like I have to leave the room until the smell airs out. And I can’t lie, I’m a little cranky because I miss the ability to chew 😩 and if one more person calls me talking about the delicious meal they just had I’m going to explode! 🤯
Omg, this is so my husband. He's so nice to not eat in front of me, but he's talking about food all the time, unknowingly I suspect. I just say, yes dear, sound great, wish I could sympathize but nope, let me just drink my meal , or even offer him a sip.

I’d die, like all of that stuff sounds amazing right now. But I’m glad you’ve been able to stay on the straight and narrow. I’ve had people telling me it’s okay to cheat a little. I’m like “nope, I take this surgery and this diet very seriously. I will not cheat!” And I haven’t, I’m proud really, lol
That's the way I am, I figure I started this in December and I'm just a idle over a week to go, I can do this!! Looking at the big picture when I get to the other side. Glad you're able to do this struck by the diet, prepping us for after surgery.

It gets better, I'm off Alieve too. They told me Tylenol too which doesn't work as well. Good luck

I’m gonna be late July/early August. I’m brand new here. I’m meeting the surgeon July 3rd for my consult. I’d love to have some surgery buddies along for the ride.

Congrats and keep us posted on your date. This is the right to make some surgery buddies. There is even a list (which you can find on page 19) that has all of the members and their dates and tentative dates

Just FYI the struggle is real. Earlier today I sipped too much Water too fast and almost threw up.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
