I can email you one I made in excel if you want. My docs gave me a pamphlet but I wanted something to put on my fridge.

Just PM me here and I will send it. Anyone else interested just let me know.

My pre-op diet has been 5 opti-fast drinks a day with one opti-fast bar and as much Water as I can drink. I'm on day 9 and I've lost 8 lbs. getting my sleeve on nov 6th. Almost here!

My pre-op is 3 Protein Shakes per day, up to 3 servings of cottage cheese or milk or yogurt, up to 3 popsicles or diluted fruit juices, and as much calorie-free liquids as I want (crystal light, coffee, Water, etc.)

Typically, the idea of a pre-op diet is to decrease the amount of glycogen in your liver in order to make the surgery safer for you and easier for your surgeon. My surgeon also believes in relieving stress on the stomach pre-op, so I am not allowed any foods that need effort to digest.

My preop diet sounds about the same. I get four shakes per day plus one yogurt. My surgeon says the same thing about shrinking the liver to make it easier for them to perform the surgery.

      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. 🤞
