Has anyone started their preop diet? What are your feelings? Experiences? How are you surviving it?

I started my pre op on Monday and haven't lost a lb. it's driving me crazy. The hunger doesn't hit me till after I get out of work. I work evenings 5pm to 1am so by 12 Ive got mini war going on in my stomache. It doesn't bother me. The no lbs lost bothers me more.

I'm sure it's frustrating...what type of a preop diet are you doing? I would try cutting carbs down to 20-40gms per day to speed up wait loss...I'm personally on the Protein shakes only and Im only eating about 20gm carbs a day.

A shake got Breakfast a good meal w veggies n Protein and my shake for dinner. Today I'm thinking about doing only shakes see if that helps.

I would limit the veggies maybe and eat only Protein maybe...veges have carbs (some less than others) the shakes only is a killer!!! But go ahead and give it a try..we are going to have to eat that way after surgery anyway :)

My doctor's office requires you to do Opti-Fast. It's expensive...I spent over $180 yesterday for two weeks worth of shakes, Soups and bars yesterday. I am not looking forward to the pre-op stage, but I can't wait for post-op!!! Good luck to everyone!!!

Thanks to you, I am going to start my pre-op diet early. I want to lose as much weight as possible pre-surgery. Thanks!!! :):DB)

      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. 🤞
