15 Day Pre-Op Starts Tomorrow



Recommended Posts

So my pre-op starts tomorrow. Not sure how much it differs from US type pre-ops.

This is my schedule

Breakfast

1 glucerna

coffee/tea no sugar or milk\

1 natural fruit juice no sugar

snack

Diet Yogurt or Kumis

or Diet Ice Cream

Aromatica (mint leaves and fruit in hot water)

Diet Soda

lunch

liquid Soup with veggies & beef, chicken, or seafood

sugar free Jello

dinner

Repeat of lunch

The one difference I do see is that my diet soda intake is not limited and I can have as much tea or aromatica as necessary.

I have to drink at least 7 glasses of Water per day. I am not a big soda drinker, so I can not see over indulging in that. But I see many aromaticas on my 15 day journey.

What does your pre-op consist of?

Steelers Nation in the house! That is my hubs team all the way. I think I may take my preop picture in my steelers shirt that is to small now! When is your surgery? The 30th?

So yeah, I am allowed carbonated diet drinks....ummmm. I can't find sugar free popsicles here.

I'm on the same pre-op diet. I'm struggling and it's just my day 2. How are you doing? Any suggestions?

Hi. I am surviving on lots of sf Popsicles and Jello. I also try to add prices to my Soup. My nut told me that I could have the broth from any broth base soup as long as I strain it or get just the broth. That helps too.

        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
