Eating 2 Weeks Before Surgery Question.



Recommended Posts

My surgery is less than two weeks actually, its oct 9 and so far I have stuck to what is on the list my Dr gave me.. What would happen if I indulged a little like ate chicken for a dinner and had a few drinks one night? Has anyone done this?

Not sure about the drinks, but you can indulge a bit of food as long as the rest of the time you stick with it...make sure to exercise off anything you do eat, though.

I wouldn't do the drinks. My cheat on my 3 week pre-op mushy diet was some grilled chicken.< /p>

I didn't cheat but I know a couple of people who did and they had one hell of a time after surgery with extreme gas pains for days after surgery. I saw one of them and personally I would not recommend it.

What would happen if I indulged a little

Robert

Indulge?? Did you know that people have been shot for less :lol::D

but......many people, yes me, go out on "food funerals" - there last big meal

this will be your last big meal, buttttt - after WLS and a period of time, you will be able to eat your normal stuff, in teeny bits, moderation, you know that song

sounds like the "big" indulge you would like to have - chicken, something like that, is no big deal - have a good time, have a drink on me - H20 of course ;)

in my case i had a "few" last meals.

i survived to talk about it

9 1/2 months Post WLS - i am down 90 lbs - 10 til goal :)

have a nice week-end

best of luck on WLS

speedy recovery

My 2week diet was really 6days I drank beer and bbqed for the 4of July ate whatever I wanted at first then went on no carbs and all liquid.

My dr said liver was small and told me good job on my preop. My wife was shocked

      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.
