I’m struggling to try and stay on the liquids only part of the pre op diet any tips

Check out the August surgeries on “where are my August peeps?” That group is mostly sleeve. There’s another for August bypass. They are both easy to find on the recents page.

By the way, my surgery is the same day as you! I have the hardest time after dinner with this liquid diet. I’ve been sewing, chatting on the phone, organizing my house, sewing, basically anything that keeps my hands busy and my mind off food. I’ve turned into a bit of a monster and told my family that the kitchen is closed at 6pm! The lights are off and I put a chair in front of the door. Eight days in and it’s working. Beware of watching TV because of the ads. I’ve been streaming videos or watching PBS when I do watch. Good luck and check out the other groups! You can do it for this short term.

Any August 2021 bypasses? Is the other name.

Try eating a little bit of salt. It's an electrolyte, you may just be dehydrated.

could be dehydration or caffeine/carb withdrawal. I had the same. You just have to white knuckle it and keep in mind that it's temporary. I remember being almost relieved the morning of surgery because the stupid liquid diet was finally over!! (or at least the pre-op one - post-op liquid diets are much easier!)

I like to tell people my story to maybe help them stick to the pre op diet. I had my surgery March 9th. My dr said I did excellent on my pre op diet. He told my husband on the phone and me the next day (I guess my liver was really shrunk down) and for what it’s worth I had very little pain afterwards. Especially no gas pain. I like to think they didn’t have to pump me full of air of bruise my insides because they were able to easily move around In there because I stuck to the diet so well. Of course it could be total coincidence but it makes me feel like it was worth it if it meant any less pain afterwards.

Thanks for posting this I feel encouraged to stay on track.
