Well day one of liquids went as well as I could of hoped for... It's hard telling myself no to little things. My husband made pizza for the kids and I wanted to eat just one pepperoni from the top of the pizza, but I stopped myself. I don't really feel hungry. I have a massive headache so maybe that is trumping my hunger que's. I can technically have one more Protein Shake, but i honestly don't want it. Did anyone else get a headache when they started their 2wk preop diet?

Hi, I'm new to the group and am scheduled for RNY on July 22nd. I am only required to have a 24 hour clear liquid diet prior to surgery. Good luck to all.

So day two of pre-OP diet (promise I wont do a daily update everyday lol) I've had diarrhea all day long these past two days. So headache and diarrhea are associated with 2wk pre op diet. I haven't see anyone talk about them so I didn't expect this. Did the diarrhea last the whole two weeks or does it calm down after a few days?

All is well! I have been able to keep down several Soups (non chunky) and Protein Shakes and fluids. No pain anymore. I have my 2 week post op appt on Monday. I am currently down 19 lbs since surgery. I am at a two day stall, so I told myself I will not look at the scale again until Monday and am only going to weigh myself once a week. I hear the stall is normal, but ya'll know how fun it is seeing the lbs come off and then when it suddenly stops it sucks. Non-scale victory. I put on jean shorts easily that i wasnt even able to get up over my hips at the beginning of summer! YAY
