Anyone doing their pre-op diet???



Recommended Posts

I'm on my pre-op diet day 5 out of 14 days. My doctor has me doing a modified liquid diet. I drink 2 Protein Shakes, 60 oz. of Water and the third meal is regular food!! Well, regular for my new healthy lifestyle...4 oz of Protein (baked or boiled, no beef) 1 cup of veggies (no corn or peas) and a toss salad with 1 tbsp of lite dressing. I see that most docs do a totally clear liquid diet. To my surprise, I haven't really been hungry. In fact, my stomach growled for the 1st time just a few minutes ago!! :thumbup: I think the protein shakes are curing any hunger feelings and I hope I'm not speaking too soon since I have 9 more days to go!!! How is everyone else doing?

Yep, I start mine on Tuesday....10 days of a full liquid diet. I have been dreading it, but I am sure ready to have the surgery done. I noticed you're a nurse...how long are you taking off work? I too am a nurse, and just wondered what your doc said about lifting/working after surgery.

Sorry I'm so late to reply. I worked 3 nights in a row before my big day in order to have 2 weeks off. I was told I could go back in one week if it didn't involve heavy lifting, or pulling. I am going back in 2 weeks and I'll ask to be put on a unit that is usually lighter than the other units. No one likes to work there either so it shouldnt be a problem. Good luck every one! I'm 3 days post-op and doing as expected!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
