Just wanted to post some encouragement for everyone starting the preop diet. I’m on day 10 and I promise it does get better. I’m still hungry but I don’t have headaches and feel crappy. My surgery is in 5 days so that is motivation to stay strong! Good luck to everyone in surgery today!

Thanks! Today is day 1 of my liquid diet and I'm struggling!

Hi Diana, glad to meet you, I'm having an RnY on September 5th,so you will beat me to surgery. Which kind are you having and where are you ilocated? I am in Central Ohio, lived within 60 miles of my city all my life. My surgery will be in Columbus but I live in Mount Vernon, 48 miles NE if there.

If you weren't nervous, you wouldn't be human. I'm the Brave Little Engine,that Could and I realize,i'm setting,off into a brave new 🌍world. Can be only,be few who have studied more what will happen than I, been 3 years after all. We are going into a place where we do have a map, but what if the map isn't right? Cliffs may have fallen, New roads may have been built. And none of us knows exactly how our own bodies will react to this 🌀challenge. But we still go forward, we've come too far to turn around. And we see the stars shining ahead., don't we?😛🌞☀🌈

I am scheduled to have gastric bypass on August 27th. I will know more after I go for my presurgical appointment on Monday. I am amazed at how fast this happened after I submitted my 6th month doctor monitored diet paperwork to BCN.

My sleeve surgery is on Monday the 13th! Starting my two day Clear Liquids only today! The two week pre op diet was difficult mentally more than physically but I am so excited to be moving to the next stage and so nervous for surgery

Started my liquid pre-op diet yesterday. I have horrible stomach cramps now! Could it be the Protein Shakes? You would think this healthy eating would cause awesome BMs but nope! Ugh 😑

Today was the first time I really understood how small my stomach was. So I made scrambled eggs. Just one egg. I ate maybe a forth of it and was full.
