It sucks. Hard. But, it does get easier the longer you stick with it. Cheating tends to set people back. So, just focus on all the reasons why you want this surgery, the change can be drastic, so the adjustments needed can seem drastic as well. If you feel like you aren't getting enough, talk to your surgeon/nutritionist and see if they will adjust your diet. Not all pre-op diets are the same. I was allowed unlimited amounts of celery, which helped out greatly. But the biggest advice I can give, is to be VERY open with your doctors/nutritionists and call them when you have questions, it's what they are there for.

I feel you on starting the liquid diet. I can tell you that it does get easier. By day 3 or 4 your body should start adjusting to it. My pre op diet was 10 days and I am 9 days post op still on the liquid diet. Concentrate on your why and it should motivate you to keep going and stick with it. I barely get hungry now. Just constantly thirsty. Good luck! You can do this!

And it is Day 2 with Frustr8 and her Follies
Yesterday wasn't a perfect day, somehow I got busy and deleted a snack from what I was supposed to do so many I will do better today.
No headache which I expected,but am a little cranky and feeling beset upon.
So far,for Breakfast, caramel equate shake, glad that is the last one. They are nasty.
Mid-morning snack. 1 strawberry, Muscle milk shake, much much better. No bad aftertaste
lunch small tossed salad with designated 2 T low-fat ranch dressing. Snuck,in a little left over Tyson grilled chicken band postponed the shake until later.
Probably have for later afternoon snack instead of 🍌. Maybe I'll lay in some oranges to vary,it when SS comes on the 3rd. Wonder if I could substitute 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce for raw 🍎? That's hard to chew with dentures, haven't thawed any blueberries yet, froze solid in the freezer.
2 16 oz bottles Water in additional to liquid from shakes.
Am I going to end up,with liquid or solid 💩- Jury still out there!
Then dinner tonight? Maybe the Turkey Meatloaf entree, sounded good when I was looking things over on my suggested list.
And then I more shake before bedtime.
Started entering these in My Fitness Pal again you just don't know if dietician might want to go over them with me.
Managed to get all my various meds, Vitamins and Calcium in yesterday. Hurray for me!
Looks like I took 795 calories yesterday, so far today 550.

I am on Day 4 of the liquid diet and I feel worse. Woozy, easily distracted, my body aches, and I am tired. It's hard to focus on work. I am having 4 Protein Shakes a day, 2 servings of chicken broth, Gatorade (diluted), and Jello. I couldn't find sugar-free popsicles at the store, but I can have those, too.

Check out Wal-Mart and Target and Meijer(if you have one) there isn't much those or Giant Eagle don't have. Where are you located at?

Hey. I just tried for the first time Premier Protein Bananas and Creme. Some people say it is a Fakee Shakee, perhaps so but it reminds me of those orange Circus Peanut candies my Daddy used to bring me home in a white paper bag from Woolworths . Ah, the memories and the taste takes me back to a neater sweeter time!💦😪💦

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
