I am scheduled for 2/3. Today was difficult. Weekends are less busy and I am around all the food. Only a few more days before we join the losers bench! I am on Clear Liquids on Wednesday. I work Mon, Tues, and Wed so I should be plenty distracted and do fine.

I am very low energy today.

Excitement builds as we get closer.

I am also 2/3 - nearly done with this preOp diet.

Make sure you are walking even if it’s around the house. I found the more you lounge the less energy you have. Keep drinking the Water in between the shakes. But get up stretch and move. Post op they want you walking. I did so many laps every few hours a wore a hole in my hospital grip sock!!!

Thank you. The low energy was the worst on Saturday. My energy is back now. Surgery is in 2 days. Tomorrow I am doing clear liquids only. More excited the closer I get.

Hello, so I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but I'm throwing it out there anyway! 😊

What Vitamins are you guys getting? I haven't been able to decide on that just yet.

Lots of people stall at 3-ish weeks. Just keep on the path.

This liquid diet is kicking my a**!!! Day 5 .. Surgery is 2/3

Same here. So lethargic and hungry. And now we are in the middle of a winter storm. Ugg all around.

Fellow 2/3 here
I've been on low carb but not all liquids for 2 weeks, wasn't too bad, wasn't awesome though! Tomorrow I switch to liquid only for the days before surgery, so that'll be fun [emoji51]
I had to go get covid tested today and that came back negative, I'm so relieved because I was super worried I'd be positive randomly. Did a bunch of other pre-op stuff today too, paperwork and consent forms all that jazz. It's finally feeling real, I'm so scare-cited!

Yes! So many clearances and tests in the last week. They took so much blood on my firdt day of the liquid diet that I felt light headed. Will be hard to focus at work today. Ready to do this!

Bariatric fusion chewable. If you are getting the sleeve, it's the only Vitamin you have to take. They are only sold online. The berry flavor is pretty good!

I saw someone else responded with Bariatric Fusion Complete chewable. You do have to take four a day but they have all that you need for the sleeve. It was also a very cost effective choice.

I know that several of us are scheduled for tomorrow. Happy Surgery Eve, friends! I am so excited about tomorrow I don’t even think I will mind Clear Liquids today!
