Nervous - I Begin My Pre-Op Diet Today



Recommended Posts

Day five of full liquid and for me it is getting harder each day..and yes every damn commercial is for food. I am proud that I have not cheated at all, but I am hungry! I only have to do ten days and my surgery is on the 17th so its almost over. Good luck to everyone!

I just learned my surgery date... 11/29. I will begin 3 2 1 diet for 7 days then Protein sparing for 5 days just prior to surg. The anticipation is killing me.... Not quite sure how I'm going to get thru this. My greatest fear was of the physical aspect of the surgery now the pre-op diet as well! I'm trying to stay focused but its getting harder and harder.....don't want to fail!

I’m on a totally liquid diet here. My sleeve is on the 14th!

It was really hard for me too. What helped was the fact I could have broth and strained cream Soups. I put hot sauce in mine as often as I could (hey, no carbs!) I did have a few bites here and there of solid food, but it didn’t seem to affect anything, I still lost some fat in my midsection.

I used Jay Robb whey Protein mostly, with a Blender Bottle. Occasionally I would put Starbucks instant coffee in it (Italian Roast) and it would be more enjoyable. I have all sorts of extracts too to put in them…coconut, strawberry, banana, orange, almond, vanilla...

I also have the pantry stocked with Isopure and Crystal Light and Mio so I could have options other than Water to drink. I am very against artificial sweeteners, but if I want to do well, I don’t seem to have a choice!

Being inventive without ruining your diet (remember low sugar, low carbs, low calories) is the number one thing that will get you through the pre-op phase.

I started my pre op diet today. I know it will be worth it when I'm done. But I'm a little nervous already. I'm hungry! Crystal light only does so much.

      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. 🤞
