This fast sucks!



Recommended Posts

Week one done with the preop fast........yesterday the dog wouldn't come near me, must have been afraid..........I'm so hungry guess I was looking at him kinda strange like he was dinner or something.

I'm so sick of yogurt and cottage cheese, don't even like cottage cheese. Hubby makes lots of smoothies for me with different yummy flavours but now I'm so sick of it that I'm not eating enough....yesterday I got the weak kneed feeling.

Oh well, one more week to go.

I know I know... I am there with you. First week I gained weight because I mixed my Myocel with Soy milk. You would think that would be good for you, but was not good for me. Now I mix with Water or coffee and have lost the 5 lbs I gained. My doctor allows me to eat low carb, but I have restricted myself to one SMALL meal a day around 3 pm.

Trying to get my liver in shape. I am with you! You are not alone!

If you're hungry and feeling weak, call your MD. Most of the time they allow you increase your dietary intake by moving to a soft diet.

What kind of diet did your Dr. put you on for pre-op? Mine has had me on a 700 calorie high Protein low carb for 2 weeks. Hope I do indeed have the surgery done next Thursday as planned (June 8th). Waiting to hear from my insurance company at this point. Will be out of town until next Tuesday so will have to check back with the Drs. office at the beginning of next week. It would be nice to know how to plan.

You get to have protien and soy milk?! I have to do Clear Liquids only for the week before and the week after surgery.

Fast begins next Friday, so I am eating my way through a huge chunk of brie this week!

        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
