I'm so struggling with Pre op diet. I work in a fast food place and keep cheating eating chips etc. I just struggling to do all liquids. I know what I need to do but finding it hard. Any tips other than leaving work lol

I would love to see photos and brands of other VSG members shakes meals vitamins etc they use and volumes to get my head round what's to come and help train my mind into what's to come.

I've been the same isn't it strange how we want to lose weight yet binge eat just before so we can lose it couple weeks after surgery. We fat people are strange food junkies

Thank you Danielle123 I keep forgetting how little volumes I would be allowed. I hope your getting on fine x

In the UK there are a number of visits with nutritionists but as for psychology I have had none and I'm self pay. I know my mind and my body I'm prepared for it to be hard. The hardest thing for me being fat is that it's a constant yoyo of feel good by binge eating then depressed after. The fact that this will and does have to physically stop helps with that aspect of depression. A new depression of why can't I eat this and that sets in. Fact is even my skinny nephew has this. We all need to know our limits to food that what it comes down to in the end. Good luck

Keep up the good work Alley-gator and any regrets are natural and human. Screw anyone that knocks you. I actually feel that you being honest and your nature posts put you in a good position as a advocate for the surgery. Honesty is what people need with life changing surgery such as VST. The fact that you like Greek food could also be a plus because Greek yoghurt is one of the best if not the best Yoghurt for our surgery plus much of the foods have a good mix of nutrition we need post surgery. Love your posts keep them coming!!!

Sorry to barge in but alley-gator did not start this bickering if you read entire threads. If you have not the time to read the threads I suggest you reframe from making judgements. Peace and love to all of you.

I'm changing the subject " I love this surgery!"

The body will lose weight if calories and the right food have been given it. The kids starving in Africa know this much and I can understand your frustration. You must re look at your diet I would say because it is impossible to be doing everything right and not losing. Good luck all my love

By the way I own a fast food takeaway. So sorry to all you guys its all my fault we are fat. Lol

I'm the day after 5th Feb but need to go in 4th for bloods. Can't wait good luck

I'm tempted to drive after surgery as its so early in morning and I'm booked for two day stay

Hi guys I'm feb 5 so will be all starting similar time I'm worried about doing the diet properly before and after.

Can't wait to feel how you do!!!

Anyone else feel sad they wont be able to binge eat after surgery. I feel down I won't be able to. I know it's not good for me but to not be able to eat 'normally' is a strange feeling.
