@ ZeroCool how is the liquid diet going for you? I’m 9 days in with 5 days to go. Feeling pretty good. I think my body forgot about the hunger if that’s possible.

Hey there, It's got it's ups and downs. It was really rough at first, then yesterday was super easy, then today idk why but I definitely was hungry before it was time to drink my shake lol. But Im not tired anymore so that's good, and energy overall is going back up. 5th day down...cant WAIT til next Friday lol

@ZeroCool I think I know how you feel. I get to eat green veggies though. I was told as many as I want but they send me to the bathroom?. You can do it though. We will get there soon.

I’ve noticed people doing. Liquid pre op diet. I’m able to eat some solids. I started my pre op diet today and it wasn’t to bad. Have a headache now but I’m sure that will go away with time.

Had my last pre op visit with my surgeon today. I’ve officially lost 22 pounds during this pre op process. Eleven more days to go of this protein and green vegetable diet. I am so ready and so excited [emoji38]. August 13 people are you guys ready?! Aren’t you just excited [emoji4].

Heaaayyyy!!! 8/13!! I'm sooo ready. You are killing your pre op diet. I've only lost 5 lbs...[emoji20]

My surgery date is 8/13 and this preop diet is brutal! I am allowed to eat 4 oz protein with green veggies once a day so I shouldn’t be complaining. Can anyone share helpful tips for walking through the kitchen or cooking food for my family knowing I cat eat it!? [emoji23]

My surgery is the 13th as well!! I can't give any tips, I think my mind has settled on not eating what I want anymore...lol. what time do you go in on Monday? We gonna keep in touch!!!
