Day 3 on my 2 week Pre Op Diet....



Recommended Posts

I would, it really is a good thing, and I do feel better physically - just gotta get over not eating like I use too - I have lost alot of Water weight, and I do have more energy, plus it will make things much safer when the DR goes in to do the surgery.

You know the saying.... things worth having are worth working for!!

Michelle :)

You really make me want to try the pre-op diet for real so when I get to it I don't cheat. Congrats on your willpower! I don't know if I could have done it.

My surgeon requires a 4 week pre-op diet ... using their own line of produces ( shakes, puddings , bars broths and Pasta..

I am on my second month of supervised diet I am required to do 3.

Good luck on your 3 month supervised diet - Soon we will look back on all of this and think how thankful we are we went through everything -

I am now counting down the days, I have 9 days until my surgery... thats not long at all. I have to admit, I will be glad when that is all behind me and I am on the loosers bench :)

Awwwww, im with ya girl!!! It is sooooooo hard, I know. I just posted a newbie saying how bad I am feastinggggg every day! I am sooooo nervous, and everything in my mind is sleeve, sleeve, sleeve, so im eating totally out of control. I dont think I've eaten this bad in yearsssss, but I know the time is near, and it will come to having to choice but to do it even though there is no pre-op diet for me, according to my surgeon. But, thanks for the info bout the pre-op stuff. Im gonna keep trying. Im off to a good start again today. Good luck to ya, and plz keep in touch, and thank u again :):):)

I have a slimfast 180 calorie shake for Breakfast, a slimfast 100 calorie snack back a couple hours later, then I have another shake for lunch, then another snack a couple of hours later then for dinner I can have 5 ounces of Protein and 2 cups of veggies. Thats it! - Each day is different on being able to handle it, first three days were rough, the 4th was better, then today came and I had to work late, and missed my normal 1 meal time, and it really kicked my butt, I was shakey, angry, emotional - not a very happy camper.

I will definatly keep in touch, we can do this... its just another step to a new us! - I did find an new "snack" thanks to this forum to use instead of the sweet Snacks from slimfast all the time. Take 2 % string cheese and wrap thin sliced turkey breast around it, but before I wrap the turkey I spinkle some Mrs Dash Tomato basic and garlic.... it is SOOOO Yum and only 90 Calories, less the the snack bar.

My biggest problem right now, is leg cramps, I am having them all the time, and I was told I needed to get in more Water. I am trying to do that and will see if that helps. I woke up with one in each leg this morning, it jolted me right out of bed crying! I am drinking as much Water as I can, cause those things hurt!!!

Have a fabulous day - Keep a smile on your face, this is all worth it in the end.

I'm on the 2nd day of my 2 week liquid diet. So far so good. I did make some homemade chicken Soup 2 weeks ago, strained the broth off and froze it. I drank a cup yesterday and a cup today and it tasted like HEAVEN!!! Good luck to all of us who are going thru this!:D

wow, my hat is off to you, two week liquid diet - I dont know if I would make it! I guess I would if I had too - Glad its going well for you - I think the key to all of this is to have a support group who knows what your going through, makes things easier knowing that others have had to do the same thing, and they made it :)

Good Luck to all the Pre-op Dieters! :)

        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
