I am on day 13 of my liquid diet and it has been the most difficult thing I've ever done. Low energy sadness while mourning the lost of my security blanket which has been food and the other side effects I dare not mention here. But on the positive side I am very proud that I DID IT!!! LOST OF 16 POUNDS AND GAIN OF SELF PRIDE... IT'S WORTH IT GUYS U CAN DO IT!! Surgery date this Friday December 22nd🤞🤞🤞
Thank you so much for this video! I was so looking forward to chewing sugar-free gum because I am a gum chewer. I have gum in the car, in my desk, in my purse…everywhere. But, my surgeon’s office said no gum. 😱 I am on day three. I work two jobs, and I have no energy at the second job. None. I hope I turn the corner soon. I really appreciate the information on your channel. ❤️
Thanks so much I am on day 17 and I was feeling so down because I am drained of energy this helped me I went to chew gum and drink some broth and push through these last 4 days I had to do for 21 because of my weight and it videos like this that helped me through it!!!
Thank you so much it felt good to hear somebody else say it. my brain has been wanting to chew something. I have been feeling nauseous and sluggish ever since I started this and now it makes sense why
@@lightenupbuttercup5476 are you feeling better i have a headache and diarrhea like hell. I dont feel hungry at all and im only allowed 1 protein drink and 2 soups a day. Nothing else.
@@roses6821 wow I thought my liquid diet was rough. I had 3 shakes a day, 2 sugar free popsicles, 2 sugarfree jello and all the flavored water I could stand. The first few days were the worst. It got easier. Mine was a 2 week long.
Oh ty so much!!! I'm on day four and not feeling so well like nauseous and fatigued I will definitely try to add more proteins I've only been having 1- 2 shakes a day and a cup of broth.
My friend got hers done in January 2023 , she went on her liquid diet for only 4 days and everything went fine for her. 🤷 She was also a smoker , she did quit cigs but went on a 5mg nic vape. 🤷
I’m dying on day 3. Woke up this morning with a massive headache. I drank a protein shake hoping I would feel better. 30-minutes later I woke up the entire house by vomiting (I’m loud). When she said stay active, my jaw dropped. I hope it gets easier tomorrow.
Yeah, it seems kinda unrealistic that folks having Bariatric Surgery can self-motivate to jog, (let alone Hi-intensity Interval training!) when on the liquid diet.
I’m so nervous of this . I’m naturally fatigued and tired person through out the day….this is going to make it to where I won’t be able to function or so I thought but I’m hoping I will make it through
If you are on insulin, most people cut their dosage in half. We advise you consult your physician who prescribes your insulin. We recommend you stick to the liquid diet unless your blood sugar drops below 60. If it does drop, you can have 4 oz of sugared juice or a glucose tablet.
This is torture. I’m so hungry. Day 3. Not 14. Mines 21 days I feel …sloshy And. I have an infected tooth Idk what’s worse. This pre op diet. Or the mouth pain and swelling
Ugh! I screwed up today on 4th of July (Day 4 of pre-op diet) and ate a cheeseburger with cheese (no bun) and had 1 popsicle (10 grams of sugar) 😖. Should I tell my doctor??? My surgery is July 14th.
@@OhMandy079 To get back on the diet. I did. I took time off from work to really isolate myself; including no commercial television. We are so overwhelmed with food ads, restaurants and fast food establishments that I forced myself to live under a rock to get through it! "Carb flu" is real so it made it easy to call in sick. By day 5 I was feeling better (as in cravings were tapering off). Hang in there! It WILL get more tolerable by day 5-7.
@@mariemyers6747 the struggle is real..I didn’t notice how many food ads we have just in one day!! I have my surgery on the 15th. Was it worth it to you now you have had the surgery? I’m sorry for so many questions but I thank you so much for answering. I hope you are having a great and blessed day.
@@OhMandy079 Unfortunately I tested positive for Covid 48 hours prior to surgery. It is rescheduled for September 27th which means I'm going to have to do the pre-op ALL OVER AGAIN 😣. Please stay in touch and let me know how YOU are doing after surgery. Are you getting gastric bypass or the sleeve?
I'm starting my pre-op LCD diet. 2 shakes and healthy meal for 14 days. I'm so concerned because i want my liver to shrink all the way. Any advice while i wait for a response from my bariatric office?
If you don't have the energy, you can substitute exercises to be more low intensity. For example, instead of jump squats you do regular squats at a slower pace.
I’m on day 10 & I’m definitely feeling fatigue, but knowing my surgery is 5 days away is keeping me motivated.
I’m 6 days away from mine. How are you doing so far?

Day 6....thanks for the advice
Thanks for watching!
I’m on day 2 and I’m suffering migraines and feeling dehydrated even tho I’m drinking water
Me too I am drinking 64 oz of water a day the more water I drink the more I have to run to the bathroom

Luckily, it is only 2 weeks! And often the fatigue will pass after a few days once your body becomes acclimated to the reduction in calories.
Day 6 and I almost fainted
I start my liquid diet Wednesday!
Yay - best of luck!
five protein shakes a day?? I'm jealous for anyone that can have that much. I'm finishing day one of a three week liquid diet. Three shakes a day.
In a few weeks, you should be able to work up to 5 shakes a day. But this will also be dependent on your metabolism, hormones, and activity level.
I’m on 4 shakes a day
@@cancerthecrab1 nice
On day 3… thanks for the info
You're welcome!
I am only put on the liquid diet for one week, overnight my third night I lost 4 pounds in total I have lost 10 pounds and it’s only day four
That is normal when following such a low calorie diet. Most often the rapid weight loss is a loss of water weight.
I’m on day two of three weeks and I’m miserable as ever😭😭😭😭
I am only allowed 3 protein drinks and 3 broths or sf jello. If I could do 5 I would be ok. But I feel faint my heart races everytime I get up.
Thank you
I'm on day 3
I’m on day 5 and I feel nauseas and I have a headache sooo bad 😩
What do you recommend eating for a type2 diabetic who’s going to start the liquid diet?
If you are on insulin, most people cut their dosage in half. We advise you consult your physician who prescribes your insulin. We recommend you stick to the liquid diet unless your blood sugar drops below 60. If it does drop, you can have 4 oz of sugared juice or a glucose tablet.
I'm in the same boat and scared lol ty for asking this question.
Omg thanks!!!
We are glad you liked this video. Thanks for watching!
I’m on day 1 🤞🏽
How do i know my liver shranked?
You are awesome!!!
Awesome 😎
Very informative
Salt
Oh God I'm going on my liquid diet next week and not looking forward to it 😩
Hey can i take a B-12 vitamin while on the liquid diet?
How many calories do you have to take in on this?
This is torture. I’m so hungry. Day 3. Not 14. Mines 21 days
I feel …sloshy
And. I have an infected tooth Idk what’s worse. This pre op diet. Or the mouth pain and swelling

Don't beat yourself up - that happens! But yes, we recommend telling your surgeon and bariatric navigator just so that they are aware.
What did they say? I’m so worried about messing up I’m on day two ahhhhh
