2 week Pre-Op Diet-HELP



Recommended Posts

So I'm on my 2nd day of my 2 week diet, which includes SF Jello and SF ice pops and 3 disgusting Bariatric Advantage Meal Replacement Protein drinks(only Protein Drinks my doctor allowed)...I'm excited because I'm that much closer to my surgery date BUT on the other hand I'm sooooo hungry... Y-day on day one I cheated and had one cup of lettuce and a sprinke of dressing... I was wondering is this ok to do? I can not imagine going on for 12 days like this. I know how important this is but I'm super hungry and tired!!

wow that does seem very strict. I didn't have to diet until 2 days before my surgery and I could barely stand that. I'm wondering why you can't try different Protein drinks, is it because this is something your doctor sells in his office? If not I would call the office and say you need to try different Protein drinks something you will like. I'm sure lettuce with a drop of dressing is not going to make a difference. I know its hard but after you recover from the surgery your going to feel better than you have in a long time. So if this is what your doctor wants you to do now do your best and know things will get better. Good luck!

I had to diet for 1 week prior to surgery. I drank Unjury Protein drinks, which my doc said is one of the best, and best tasting too. If you have 2 weeks of this strict diet, at least drink a Protein Drink that doesn't make you gag. I was also permitted some yogurt, (sugar free of course) and some fat free cottage cheese. Call and ask your doctor if you can have some of these. Sometimes when you call, they allow you to add. It can't hurt. Good luck . I found the preop diet to be the most difficult part of this journey. But, it too will pass.

        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
