Never Started a Diet on a Friday



Recommended Posts

Well, I guess it is crunch time. My surgery is April 2nd and my 2 week pre-op diet starts to day. Through out my lifetime career of dieting, I have never started on a Friday.

My pre-op consist of 2 Protein Shakes, 4oz of meat and veggies. Gotta love it. I have had headaches the whole day but I am sure I will be OK. By the way the Unjury shakes taste pretty good. I tried the strawberry sherbet for Breakfast and chocolate for lunch. So far I am very impressed.

Good luck to you! I start my preop diet Sunday. Saturday is my grandkid's 6th birthday so for my last "fat picture" I am having my daughter take a picture of me stuffing my face with a piece of cake. I'm so excited and yet nervous. I guess thats how most people feel.

I don't know how to make the shakes yet, mix with some low fat milk or Water? Just seeing what all the options are.

Once again, good luck. See you on the skinny!!!:frown:

You can do it! I started my pre-op on a Friday as well, using the Unjury powder. It went very well for me so I am sure it will go well for you too! If you want to add a little something to the strawberry sorbet flavor I use 16 ounces fo Water, 2 scoops of unjury and 1 packet of crystal light lemonade--it tastes really good and really packs in the Protein.< /p>

I am thinking about you and offering up my support. My surgery is April 7 and I am counting down the days.

You will do great on the preop and the surgery. It will be worth it!

Come to think of it, I don't believe I ever started a diet on a Friday either! :frown: Good luck on your pre-op diet. I have been on mine for just over a week and my surgery is on 4/1... April is just around the corner for both of us!

You sound just like me. I started my pre-op on Friday and my surgery is also April 2nd. It wasn't so bad Friday but then yesterday, I wanted to eat everything in the grocery store. Today is a much better day. My doctor will allow one small salad tomorrow and I can't wait but I'm ok. Lots better than I thought I'd be. Good luck to you.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
