I hope they are able to get something for you that is better! I know it stinks, just keep pushing through. Dot worry about being a downer (read some of my posts Lol), we are here to support you. I emailed my dietician and told her that all of the food tasted like dog food or chalk Lol. I really hope you can get something that is tolerable. Good luck! You can do it!!

Thanks so much :) I appreciate the support - this is tough - and I feel a little wimpy that I almost caved on the first day. Today I am feeling a bit better - certainly inspired by the fact that I decided to step on the scale and I am down 3.5lbs... what is this pre-op diet - magic or something? LOL

I was given an alternative to the shakes - I am still checking it out to see if available. Chalk mixed with sour milk and instant cake mix is the flavor description that came to me, haha I did enjoy some nice veggies though.

Ok so I was doing great on day 1 and 2 and now im only on day 3 of the pre op diet And its getting rough. I know it's all going to be worth it jn the end.

At my job we have a lot of down time and in the back room everybody pretty much eats non stop! It's tough being around everyone eating when I'm sitting there starving! I just had to come outside and sit alone for minute so I wouldn't go crazy!

I'm so glad I have somewhere I can share my feelings and know you all understand

My surgery is May 6th, and I have lost 16 pounds on this pre-op diet. That is very encouraging and gives me hope for the future!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
