My surgery is set for july 29. Mydoctors do not believe in a pre-op diet. Nutritionists says drink every hour after surgery. I'm getting nervous. I usually inhale food.< /p>

I'm a married guy in his 50's from Delaware, but I was told the pre-op diet was to shrink the liver so it is less likely to be cut accidentally during surgery !! My Dr. even said that he would not do my surgery if I didn't follow that diet to the T . He said he has woke patients up before because the liver needed to shrink more, I didn't want to be woke up, so I followed the diet !!!!! :)

Thats the place to be in the summer !!!! I had a day before pre op diet as well.. i had asked my nut at one of my meetings with her and she said my dr. just wanted his patients to lose the set weight loss he asked of us the say of our initital consultation.. which was only 10 pounds..and that was for the duration of 3 months.. i TRIED to do low cal low carbs .. some days were better then others.. i feel like if you make little changes now during your process you will do fine! Also i know for me after my surgery.. it was tough just drinking every hour.. i had no desire for food ( and i watched the food network as well) for about a week or so..

        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.

      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
