Just started my 2 week pre op liquid diet.I’m having the Sleeve done on the 26th. First day very difficult. Today not as bad but not loving it. Determined to stick to the rules but I think the baby dolls are going to have to go to the basement fridge where I don’t see them. Anyone else struggle with the president op?
 
I'm assuming auto correct ... or are you eating baby dolls? I also had a 2 week pre-op liquid only diet. It sucks. After a few days, I kinda got into a groove that the hunger felt empowering. Well, that and the liquid soup they gave me was so awful, I was like "who wants to eat anyway?!?" It's tough, but stick to the rules. If you don't you'll beat yourself up and start doubting that you can do it at all. It's better to suffer and succeed than to fail and have suffered anyway. Good Luck.

I am not sure of what (baby dolls) are? Anyway Sticking to all Ir Pre-Op Rules is essential to reducing the size of Ur liver and fat around it! In essence it will make U Sugery easier for Ur Doctor!

OMG!!! That was really awful wasn’t it? I meant the baby dill pickles, needed to be out of sight. They are a horrible temptation. Sorry about the auto correct.

Well just tell Urself in a Month or so U will be able to sparingly eat them again. U can do it! Ur going to be much Happier and Healthier after Ur Surgery. After the Pain Subsides and U start to drop sizes! Every time you look in the mirror and see Ur clothes getting more loose……then one day U will be looking at the style instead of those Mail Ordered Sized outfits. When I say Style…,,that’s regular retail stores! U are going to Love Ur Journey! But only if U follow the Rules!
 
I am starting my two week liquid diet today. My surgery is on 08-04. I am pretty nervous. It feeling good about making a change for my health. I have an autoimmune disease that causes high inflammation and chronic pain. I am looking for support with people who are going through the same thing. I think it will really help me get through it.

Congratulations on having a surgery date and good luck with your liquid diet. I think that is harder than the post surgery diet so keep yourself busy as best as you can so the time goes by fast. My inflammation is so much better since losing weight and eating healthier, I hope it will be the same for you. Good luck and welcome to the group!

I wonder if you could have a few sips of the dill pickle brine? It wouldn't have the satisfying crunch of course, but the flavor of the pickle juice might help. Just a thought.

Good luck with your presurgery. You might read through other's suggestions of things you'll want to have around post-surgery. That really helped me; I even went to the store for last min. things the evening before surgery. This time will fly for you and next thing you know you'll be a new member of the "loser's club"!

That is so good to hear!! I made it through my first day! I’m all of a sudden feeling very unprepared but I’m sure it’s just me being nervous I have started writing everything down plus I have a lot of information from my doctor.
