1200 Calorie Diet- OMG! TORTURE!



Recommended Posts

So,

Today is my 4th day of the "all liquid diet"- It's been pretty bad. Like I've actually dreamed about eating bacon! BACON of all things lol. My boyfriend is being supportive and he is following the diet with me so that I won't feel alone and hungry by myself and it's great to share that with him cause I think I would go insane. Today is going ok, but I just really want a cheeseburger. I saw my dietician yesterday and she thinks I'm going to do great, but it's so hard because my sister leaves hot pockets and Chipotle and Subway everywhere. I even found myself about to take a bite out of her Hot Pocket and she opened her door and I dropped it on the floor- it was a sign lol! This is by far the hardest thing I've ever had to do, but I know it's preparing me for something even greater and so I'm venting my frustrations. 12 more days until surgery.... wow....

Well,

I hope you guys have a wonderful day! Go Team Sleeve!

I have been doing the pre-op 1200 cal diet since I signed up to be sleeved back in October. The first few weeks were the worst! I thought i would starve to death! It is low fat, low carb, high Protein and I was beside myself. So many times I wanted to go get a cheesburger or some pizza.

Stick with it cuz it does get easier. After about day 12, I was getting into a grove and not so many cravings were upon me. I still get hungry for things, but not NEARLY like i use to. AND, i have lost 50lbs. PRE OP!! that is pretty amazing!

Keep with it. It will all be worth it!

Best of luck!

Yall will do fine.. If it was soo easy to do what everyone here has done than everyone would be lining up for a part of it.. It is extremely hard and takes a lot of self control. You just have to want it more than you are suffering right now.. Once you get past the carb withdrawls you will be at a better place to help you get through it the rest of the way..good luck ladies and keep you heads up...

i have had the plication done in January but i had to be on a low carb/high Protein preop before hand..I thought i was going to die..the carb monster was rearing its ugly head at me constantly and i constatly had to ignore it...believe it or not the longer you go with out the junky carbs the easier it gets and pretty soon you don't want any of that junk stuff.and better yet when you start losing the weight and the inches its way easy to stop eating junk and replace it with the good stuff.

HANG IN THERE LADIES!!! It is sooo difficult to do this without the help of the sleeve. I struggled a great deal too... it was super hard for me!!! I white knuckled it for 2 weeks... but I have to tell you I'm so glad that I did it. I had a good surgery that only lasted about 90 minutes. Not bad for the Dr. needing to remove a Lap Band AND do a sleeve too...

Bonus: I also lost 9 lbs pre surgery too.

Good luck!!!

      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. 🤞
