I am getting sleeved on March 8th. I am excited and nervous all at once. The liquid diet has been a *****allenging which scares me a little bit about my over all success. I know I can do this but the fear of failing yet another diet scares the hell out of me. How are you doing on the liquid diet? What plan does your doctor have you following?
I know what you are saying about the challenging part of the liquid diet. Our stomachs/bodies will not be the same and therefore we will react differently to the liquids later. I am hoping it is better!
I did not have a long liquid diet requirement. They only wanted full liquids the two days prior and at least one meal replaced for the week prior. I decided to double the two days of the liquid so I am starting day 3 today! I've lost almost 8 lbs so far since starting with the liquids.

Hello. I had my surgery on the 6th as well. For those of you nearing preop... I too was very nervous.. and apparently had quite the discussion on the OR table! I'm a nurse and had the surgery where I work! So... LOL I am just a week post op and on clear liquids , blach.. really having a time with that, everything tastes artificial. Diet everything. so anxious to taste something savory, broth is not cutting it. I have, however lost 24 lbs from the time of my pre op diet to now... so that is very cool. Also anxious to start feeling better, more energy...I'm not good at this part.. ! But ill be patient because I know that it will all be worth it. After years of diets, weight on, weight off,..... I made up my mind. I have young child and want to enjoy life WITH her... no****ch her! Excited and feeling "thinner" already...! I would love to hear of others post op period....
