My surgery date is 12/19, and I'm on day 3 of the pre-op diet. I am soooooo hungry! Hopefully it will get better in a day or two

I'm day one... Ugh!! 13 to go! I'm hungry, tired, Moody, and all I can think is 13 more days! I may not need surgery, this may b the death of me. I spent $120.00 on different flavors hoping it will help, i'm on my 3 cup of hot tea. I was ok at work, but now that i'm home, not so much. I may have to clean and organize my whole house to stay busy. Best of luck December bandsters!

I feel terrible today, but agree that the tea helps. I am going to try to drink more Water today because I didn't drink enough yesterday.

I keep telling myself I felt terrible after eating lots of junk food too.... at least this way we are going to be headed in the right direction.

Good luck today!!!!! I hope it is better for all of us!

I have been having pretty bad headaches too. My body really hurts as well. I have not taken any tylenol yet but plan to tonight before I go to bed. Drinking tea seems to help the hunger, and the Water seems to be helping today.

You may be having caffeine withdrawl, my Dr. says it is OK to have coffee with artificial sweetener but I know not all Dr.'s are ok with this.

I am planning on going to bed early and hope things feel better tomorrow. Hang in there!!!!!!

Thanks ms. Millie!! Got a kick out of your post. Hopefully they will subside, I'm not even a coffee drinker, so don't think it's that. Well see.

Holly.. I agree with you about the broth. I had turkey broth today and it was amazing. I have also found that that tea makes everything better. That is what has gotten me through today. Everyone seems to say that the first three or 4 days are the worst. Hopefully the edge will come off soon.

Today is the last day of my preop diet. It was hard, especially the first week. Surgery tomorrow!

I am on a high protine preop diet that is intended to help deplete the liver of its glycogen stores prior to the operation to help shrink the liver. It consist of 1000 calories a day, 100 grams of Protein a day, and 2 quarts of Water. They have me drinking five 8oz bottles of Slimfast high Protein Drinks and a combination of hardboiled eggs, yogurt, and cottage cheese to equal 100 grams of protein. That is the diet they have me on right up to my surgery. Is anyone else on that type of prep diet? It doesent sound like it and I havent had any of the symptoms people have described in here during thier preop prep.

      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.
