July 11th having RNY spoke to my Dr. I have to do liquid diet 2 weeks starting June 27th

So June 27th I start my  liquid diet I am sure I will be ok what I got all full of anxiety about was I was told last night  that I will be on liquids for total of 8 weeks 2 pre op and 8 post op.

OK am I being normal here anyone else go through this I am so excited but scared as heck as well.

Thanks

you will be just fine- be thinking of things to do besides obsess about not being able to eat food.

8 post op for liquids seems long so maybe I would ask about that.

Been there, have the t-shirt to prove it. It's doable, and after surgery eating anything will likely be the last thing in your mind. 

why liquids so long after?? Is that what your surgeon typically does? 

That is strange for post op. I was on puréed within days. I would check on that . But trust me, we get all nervous about what we can eat post op but that is just our 'obese mentality ' it will change. To this day I have to remember to eat. Sugar free jello and Popsicles count as liquids too. 

I didn't have to do liquid pre-op, but was on liquid for 2 weeks post-op. I can tell you, I didn't miss solid food one bit. Protein shakes felt so much to me that i couldn't finish one. I also was instructed to have only one small pureed meal a day for the next two weeks and continue mainly with liquid nutrition until my tiny pouch learned how to deal with anything sorta-solid. It really does take a while for your new system to figure out what's going on.

Don't be scared about hunger after surgery. You probably won't feel it.
