I am on day 8 of my 2 week liquid diet the first 2 days were hell!!! Lol but honestly it's been a breeze since then..I lost 10lbs in 6 days. My doctor has me drinking 4 slim fast low carb shakes a day plus sugar free Jello Popsicles and crystal light..I dont like te chicken broth so I don't drink it...just get through the first few days and it will get better I honestly don't feel really hungry anymore or have super crazy cravings. It's become almost a routine now so u dont think about it as much

Lost 4 pounds already past two days whoo-hoo. If you struggle just think how pounds will come off and you will feel better about yourself.

My preop consists of HMR products which is like WeightWatchers meals not to bad tasting. I've read some having to take 2week liquids which sounds difficult I wonder why the different preop diets?

My pre-op diet is my hmr shakes too. My nutritionist was giving me a 2 week diet but then she recommend a shake/liquid diet. They are seeing better results with this diet better.

The shakes are not bad just tired of thinking of the shakes.

My pre-op diet is shake in the morning 3to4 oz of lean meat veggies salad and chicken broth shake for dinner. Why are all the pre-op diets different?

My pre-op liquid diet is 10 days. I am supposed to have a minimum of 5-6 8oz servings of Protein a day. I have been having Isopure, Oh Yeah, and Pure Protein Shakes. In addition to the protein I can have broth, low cal gatorade, sugar free Jello and sugar free Popsicles. On 10 day I can have Clear Liquids only.

I also wondered why everyone has diff pre-op diets. I am on a 14 day liquid diet. Doc says its so that it will shrink my liver and help him get to my stomach better. I drink 3 Protein Shakes a day. I'm also allowed sugar free Jello and popsicles. I blend chicken noodle Soup for dinner. I can also have crystal light. My only downfall is that I need to drink more Water.< /p>

      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.
