day 2 of pre-op diet



Recommended Posts

My recommendation would be if you need more food to eat more of what your doctor has prescribed. So I would have had another Protein shake instead of having the chicken and steak and vegetables. I recommend going on YouTube and. watching a video of an actual surgery so you can see how they're moving around your liver etc cetera I think it helps you understand why it's important to follow your doctor's orders. And no I'm not trying to be mean I'm just trying to let you know why they give you such specific requirements.

Honk, I actually am following doctors orders. 4 ounces of Protein a day with unlimited green vegis. Plus the two Protein shakes a day. Keep it positive please. And thank you Instyle.

Once you're healed you'll be able to eat anything your family can eat. The reality is your family doesn't need to eat high fat high calorie foods nobody does.

Can you have coffee on pre-op diet? I see nothing in my instructions for it. Only place it mentions coffee is the day before surgery that you can't have.

Do you get pain meds after surgery? Or are they needed?

I was aloud to have coffee, but no Creamer so that made coffee out for me. I switched to hot tea,.I can drink that without cream. I got an rx for liquid pain Meds from my Dr. I really only take it at night. I'm 5 days out now and last night was the first night I did not take it. Good luck:)

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

      2. 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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
