I was only on liquid diet 4 days prior to the surgery. I thought 4 days was rough but I can’t imagine more than that.

What are you taking in? I used Protein Jello and Protein Drinks. I ovoided times my family ate because it was so hard. I drank Water a gallon of water a day at least. Stick with it. You have this! This is one of the worst parts!

Do you have to have another endoscopy (I assume how they saw the liver) prior to clearance? I would imagine your doctor estimated how much time you would need before surgery. I'm one of few that wasn't told to be on a liquid diet. I need to now because my "last supper" which lasted the past few weeks has me up 10 pounds. :o I'm the same way, though, I worry about everything. I still have to get clearance from the cardiologist and take a stress test the day before surgery. Crazy! Hang in there. :)

Actually they never said anything about my liver! Everything is perfectly fine for surgery, maybe im just in my head a bit because this two week liquid diet has me struggling! I have cheated a few times but I will no longer for the next week! I promise

Mine is 2 weeks, first week I cheated almost every day with small things but Im one week away and i need to get my head straight. So that everything goes well.. I have no liver problems but i keep reading about people saying that they'll cancel which makes me scared about mine... but i have no health problems. So I think i should be okay if I carry this week to a T

I don’t think many of us on here do have liver problems. The point of the liquid diet is to shrink your liver prior to surgery so that it decreases the risk of complications. Your stomach and liver are very close (if not over lapping). The bigger you are, the bigger your liver is & longer you will need a liquid diet for.

Yes!!!!! How are you doing on your pre op diet?

Sent from my SM-G928T using BariatricPal mobile app

Uggghh not so good. I'm traveling, family reunion weekend and my son's 10th birthday all during my pre op liquid stage...I'll do great for 4 days then slip up. I don't have my notebook with me and I feel lost. But I'm drinking Water daily and Protein Shakes when I don't eat. How about you?

I’m doing so-so...the Protein Shakes are nasty. I’m having a hard time getting them in. I need to do better for sure. I have my pre-op physical tomorrow. Last step before the surgery! How’s it going for you?
How did your pre op appointment go? I don't mind the shakes but I wish they had a variety pack I get tired of the same taste...I'm scared to get on the scare at my pre op appointment.

      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
