Aww thank you so much! Thank goodness mine is only 10 days but dang 3 weeks for a liquid diet! I would be dieing haha Im so hungry but im pushing these fluids hard so im not too hungry. Good luck to you and keep us updated with your surgery!?

I’m alive! Walked two laps. Went to the bathroom and I’m sitting up. My nurse is convinced I’m a rockstar. I want a drink really bad, but not till 6:45. Not bad so far.

Fantastic news!!! Please keep us updated with your progress. ??

Tomorrow will be my 2wks until surgery and my surgeon said I would be doing a two week diet when I seen him on June 14 when we set up my surgery date. But they never told me what to do or anything for my two wk pre-op diet. I see my surgeon this Friday and by then I'll be 10 days before surgery. Should I call and ask them about it?

I don't want them to be strict about the 2wks then push my surgery another week because they didn't rely information they should have...

Giving them a call just to clarify wouldn’t hurt

Definitely give them a call but you can get some idea of what to do by looking at others diets on here. I'm allowed sf jello, sf pudding, low fat cream of soups strained, sf popsicles, v8 or tomato juice, 100% fruit juice, 3 protein shakes/day, yogurt etc

I would definitely call. I was allowed veggies, too. Every dr is different. Did they not give you your surgery ‘bible’? That’s where I have all my information.

I actually have my surgery on June 24th....and I cant wait!

I'm having my surgery on July 15th. I'm excited and nervous at the same time.

So I called thank goodness! I couldn't get ahold of anyone at first so I decided to call the dietitian. She said yes I am suppose to start it today. She asked if I had my packets from her classes and I told her yes. She said it outlines what I can have and just to go off that list. So today is officially day one of my liquid diet. I had protein drink this morning and a lot of water inbetween. Now I'm enjoying a cream of chicken broth from Bariatric Pal. I'm impressed with how flavorful it is. I have the variety pack so we'll see if the rest are as tasty. I'm not really hungry either... I normally don't eat the first few meals of the day. So i expect my hunger to hit me later tonight. ?

Just want to say congrats to all in here. Technically i'm June 28th (barely feel like a June-er) but just wanted to peek my head in. My post-hospital recovery began July 1st **waves**

Congratulations to you also! Wish you a fast and healthy recovery on your new journey! ?

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?

Surgery is now 5 days away. I am down 20lbs with the Pre-Op Liquid diet. I finished all my hospital pre-surgical testing & paid my ($750 deductible & $250 copay yesterday ). Four more days of this liquid diet and one day of clear liquids and then off to surgery I go. It appears I will have a 1-night hospital stay and then I am gone. What a process this has been!!!! The only thing I am truly feeling sad about is not picking up my baby for 1 month That she will not understand (2 years old) but as long as I can have someone hand her to me I will be ok (I pray).

Sending everyone strength and prayers!!! I am getting myself mentally ready for the 4 weeks of eating post-surgery.
