I would suggest a call into your Doctor to let them know you are struggling and get some professional input. Maybe they will at least allow a Protein Shake.< /p>

Do you mind telling us exactly what you've consumed for the last 3 days?

Not to be gross or anything but,,,fluid in equals Fluid out. I would definitely call the Doc and also maybe some Imodium.

Keep in mind, your body is detoxing. If your drinking your Protein Shakes add skim or 1% milk. Drink Water. Being dehydrated can suck u "DRY". I was allowed a small meal as well. Not sure what your doctor advised. I used up all 800 calories :) I didn't lose much pre op. Im 1 month post op n down 24lbs.

Hope you're doing better. All the advice given sounds right on the money. Give your surgeon a call and let them know what's going on with you.

Worst case scenario could be that you have caught a tummy virus :(

I called and got ahold of the nurse that is over the others that will help me after surgury and I was allowed a 12 ounce pepsi and a small serving of instant mashed potatoes which brough me up to inbetween the 1000 and 1300 calorie mark and gave me the energy and helped with the headache they figured even with haveing been off caffeine for over a week that in the detoxin phase or low intake whatever I might be experianceing a caffeine headache that I otherwise wouldnt have noticed so thats why I was allowed the soda which I consumed very slowly along with the instant potatoes I feel much better still have diarrhea not as often now but still its there I just have two days left and they are all liquid so... im gladd I will have family around to help me because if today was any indication of what is to come im gonna be a basketcase by friday.... they did however mention that they were gladd I called in and was feeling so bad because that tells them I truely am following my preop diet where as they have several come in have the surgury and are in so much pain afterwards and say they didnt do it... but the ones who do follow it usualy call in and are allowed a small meal and are in far less pain after surgury and recover nuch faster... thank you all for your concern and support I look forward to continuing my journy with all of you!

Well I have made it past my starveing hump I met my surgeon today I stop all food and drinks at midnight tonight and I have to be in at 8:30 am and sugury at 10 and then spend the night and hopefully go home the next day since my initial consultation where I weighed in at 322 lbs with cutting out soda and the preop liquid diet I have lost a total of 15 lbs that was not at all easy to do... basically starvation cause of the liquid diet for a week but I did it and will begin my new life tommorrow. ... or maybe a few days after that lol whenever I can stand to move lol

        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
