I Hate my Pre-Op Diet!!



Recommended Posts

And the days are just dragging along. One week to go before my Band. I am ready to move over to the Post op questions and answers!

Sorry folks there is no real topic here. I am just venting because I am hungry! I never was good at not eating!!

No wonder I need WLS!

Sandy,

Hang in there it will all be worth it. You really shouldn't be hungry. Are you getting all the Protein in??? Let us know what you are eating so that others can help you.

I don't start my liquid diet until May 4th. I might even try (as much as I can go without eating real food) to start the week before that just so I can lose a few extra lbs. My pre-op diet consists of:

  • tomato or V8 juice (yuck)
  • cream of wheat or oatmeal (i only like oatmeal- peaches and cream)
  • SF pudding
  • SF Jello
  • Dannon light N fit yogurt
  • unsweetened applesauce (i like it sweet)
  • fat free raw veggies (not a fan of raw veggies)

I have to have 4 servings of my Protein shake daily. At least 6of these foods from the list.

This is gunna suck.

You guys are so lucky!!! I'm doing 2 weeks of only Protein shakes! I'm not allowed anything else besides chicken broth, crystal light, and sugar free Jello. I have to drink 4 shakes/day and it's getting old fast!

This is what my diet was, all liquid all the time!

Good luck to all of you. I know it sucks now but I promise you it's worth it in the end.

      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.
