I'm December 4th! I started my pre-op diet on 11/20. Here is my diet plan:

Breakfast and Lunch: Protein Shake 20-25g Protein, 10-15 carbs, and <200 calories

I am using the Isopure low carb Dutch chocolate powder 1 scoop with 8oz of skim milk. I also add sugar free divinci Syrup for flavor. I have raspberry and Carmel. Delish!

Morning snack: 6 oz of sugar free or lite juice <100 calories

Afternoon snack: 1 oz of cheese and 1 medium apple, orange, or banana

Or...1 cup air popped popcorn 100 calories total

Dinner: 4-6oz of meat 1/2 cup veggies and 1/4 cup starch 300-350 calories and 20-25 carbs I make a salad with chicken breast every night.

I can also have an unlimited amount of calorie free beverages. The goal is to have 800-1000 cal 60-80 grams of protein and <60 carbs.

It's really not hard. I haven't gotten hungry yet. For thanksgiving I had my dinner at lunch time so I could eat with my family and did a shake for dinner instead. My nutritionist said that was fine. Hope all this info helps!!!

Thanks Cassie, that's what I needed. Never heard of divinci Syrup. Do you get it from the grocery store?

Mamagirls, I haven't started on shakes yet. Doc said start on Nov 27 with my pre op diet.......But when it does I am supposed to have shakes only for 4 days, then the 5 day have only clear broth and Water.

Taylor, I am same, excited, but nervous. Overall excited, because I feel like if I don't have this done now I will keep gaining and gaining and never be able to live a healthy life or never play sports again.

I just can't wait till I lose a hundo pounds.....

My diet. 3 Protein Shakes, 3oz lean Protein lunch and dinner, 2c salad with each meal but no iceberg lettuce, 2 sugar free pops a day, up to 2c sugar free Jello, 1/2c acceptable veggies with each meal and 64 oz sugar free fluids. I did not cut back on carbs like I should have prior to pre op diet. I think my body went into shock :). Better now though.

For those on pre-op diet (either Protein Shakes only or shakes plus food) how many calories a day were you advised to have?

I was not given a calorie count. Nutritionist said main purpose of diet was too shrink the liver as much as possible because carbs and sugar swell the liver. She did mention calories just minimal carbs and no sugar.

Me either. Just told to do strictly 5 shakes a day. I bought my shakes from the doctor called "bariatric advantage"! Not bad!

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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
