Stay the course and stick to the plan. It will be difficult at first but remember you are one step closer to surgery day.

Good luck.

Mine started yesterday! Are you on only liquids or can you have a meal?

It’s so interesting to see how different every surgeon is. We don’t have to do the 2 week preop diet. Our only requirement is liquid only the day before surgery and nothing the morning of.

Try filling up on no calorie things, diet Jello, popsicles, broth etc. To help cut down on hunger. Stay the course and it will be over before you know it.

To me the pre-op was harder than afterwards. Its hard, but you will love your results. Congrats and best wishes!💗

Stick to it. It's there for a reason. It's important to follow the program to the letter. Drink a variety or fluids to keep you interested. sugar-free popsicles are a lifesaver.

Wow lucky you, I have to do 14 days of liquid with one healthy meal daily.

I am on day 3 of my one week liquid diet, and it isn't so bad. I am allowed up to 5 shakes a day, sugar- free Jello and popsicles, and 2 cups of any combo of fruit or veggies a day. I have not found myself to be hungry, but my brain definitely wants to eat!

I have to do my pre-op diet for 2 weeks. The first night I had a massive headache That has finally gone away. It is interesting that each doctor prescribes a different pre-op diet for everybody.

      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!!
