May 22 surgrey date

I had VSG, and I had a two week liquid diet. I was miserable, and depressed, but you have to keep going. You have to find something to keep you focused. You got this.

May 23rd surgery date. I have been on my liquid diet for 5 days now and have lost almost 10 pounds. Feel like dog poo poo. Not much longer though!!!

2 weeks before and 2 weeks after are the worst, after that much easier to manage.

May 30th surgery date, day 6 of liquids its getting easier but not by much. makes it worse that i have to spend memorial day wkend on liquids but I keep telling myself it will all be worth it in the end!

The pre op diet was the worse part of the whole surgery for me, but you have to do it. It will all be worth it, you'll see. Don't cheat, whatever you do. If the MD opens you up & your colon is full, he/she may very well close you right back up & not complete the surgery. I know you don't want that.

June 5th surgery date, I will start liquids tomorrow I'm kind of nervous

The first two days are the absolute hardest, once you get past those, you'll probably be fine. Drink a ton of water, it helps. Ice water worked best for me.

My doctor allowed some vegetables, oatmeal, which was very helpful, if your does, definitely take advantage of that.

Thank u!!

I'm scheduled for May 24th and am deep into the two-week preop diet. To be honest, I found it harder at the beginning and then I think my body figured we were starving so quit sending hunger signals!! I'm feeling a bit nervous about the recovery now...odd because I haven't been nervous through any of this..but hoping it goes smoothly!!

Good luck to everyone having surgery this week! I guess hotdogs for Memorial Day is probably out?

Just remember, if you can get through the first two days, the rest gets easy. It's just those first two that are the hardest. You can do it!!

IM SO HANGRY! Lmao I’m going into day 5 tomorrow...my date is the 31st(I feel like people have seen this from me multiple times on other threads) I know this will be sooooo worth it! I too have PCOS and cannot wait to feel normal again! I have felt so uncomfortable in my own skin for 10+ years...like I want to just claw my way out....at first when my endocrinologist suggested Bariatric surgery I was super offended...I cried when I got in my car that day. After I collected myself after a month or so I googled it. At that point I felt like God had opened a door for me to get myself back! Not just me getting me back but my poor husband [emoji23] for multiple reasons...and my kids....nothing worse than raising teens and mouthy preteens with crazed hormonal mood swings! My husband is deployed and won’t be back until September, I CANNOT wait for him to come home to the new(old) me!

Sorry about the book I just posted [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Hangry is the perfect description of it! I am 5 days past RNY, 4 years post sleeve and today I feel almost normal. Had some egg drop soup broth which took me from Hangry and weak to feeling so much better. Hang in!

Day 8 of liquid diet!! ONLY 6 MORE DAYS!!!!!! WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!
