Apparently the patients my surgeon put in the liquid diet called that frst 5 or so days hell week. I’ve done the shake diet a couple of times in the past (for about 6 weeks each time - awful & hardly lost any weight). I cannot tell you how relieved I was my surgeon said no shakes for me but a dietician supported diet which was Keto.

Survive the first week & it does get easier. The worst aspect is the withdrawals from sugar, carbs, caffeine.

Mine was a10 day clear liquid diet. It is THE hardest part of the entire process. Hang in there and it'll soon be over.

It does get a bit easier after day 4 or so. Your body adjusts, headaches ease.

The good part is the weight loss. Mine was 10lbs in 10 days. I’m sure yours will be good with the longer 14 days.

Try finding distractions….

The first few/several days were the worst for me. After that, I got used to it.

Those first few days are likely caffeine withdrawal headaches- keep up with fluids to help.

What kind of diet do they have you on? I had to do Optifast which wasnt fun.

But, def up your Fluid. It will help you be hydrated during surgery, it will help with feeling hungry right now, and it will help the headaches which are withdrawls

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
