Only 3 Protein Shakes a day? How long is your preop? If the Dr. said, you should definitely have some pudding and Jello and yes that is alot of Water. Good luck.

Wow, I would lose my mind if I had to do three shakes a day and nothing else. I am on a 2 shake a day plan (I'm sure it depends on what type of shake the doctor's recommend), and can also have Gatorade, SF applesauce, oatmeal, SF cream of wheat, SF pudding, SF Jello, low sodium broth, SF popsicles, SF creamsicles and SF fruit chillers.

Wow your doctor actually prescribed that much Water? I read somewhere that too much water can be bad - it messes up your electrolytes I believe, and that seems a bit obsessive.. I don't think I could handle it -- i have trouble making 70 which is my goal.

That is a boat load of Water. 64 ounces is usually the recommendation for an entire day. There is no way I could get that amount of water in.

Good luck and maybe double check on that amount of water

Honestly, the pre-op diet was the hardest part of my entire experience. I drank about 4 Premier shakes a day. You can try SF pops and chicken/beef broth. Its like eating a liquid steak. Ok, no really its not, but that's what I kept telling myself to get through it. I was on this diet for a total of 4 weeks (2 weeks pre-op and 2 weeks post-op). I was about to rip someone's head off by the end! In that month I lost 30 pounds and in the end I survived. I'm a lot happier now. Just keep your eye on the prize. I was just terrified of any complications during or post-op that I stuck to the liquid diet without cheating. Hang in there. My blog has a bunch of entries about my frustrations with the liquid diet.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.

      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
