Cheated On My Liquid Pre-Op Diet!



Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm scheduled for surgery on Monday with Dr. Alvarez. I'm wicked psyched, but so addicted to food! I was supposed to start my liquid diet yesterday. I made it through half the day, then stuffed my face the other half. Today I've done ok, just coffee and chicken broth, but I'm so hungry. My cravings are going off like crazy. Has anyone else started their pre-op diet yet? How are you managing? Any tips or advice would be so welcomed. Btw, I see a food addiction specialists for the first time tomorrow at noon. But I'm seriously worried I'll cave and get food today. Anyways thanks in advance for your help :-)

Protein shakes will help with the hunger. It's probably carb cravings they are there until you start eating differently. You have to get them out of your system. Protein is very satisfying try it. The Greek yogurt that was suggested sounds like a good idea.

I can't quote percentages, but I would say a pretty high percentage do cheat. It gets easier about day 3 if you can hold on that long.

Best of Luck!

I start liquids on Saturday for 3 days. It is gonna be hell, I won't sugar coat it! lol If I didn't have hunger pangs, it would not be a problem. That has always been my problem. I can't wait to not be hungry!!

You can do it, if you cheat, just get back on for the next meal :) Good luck!!

Dannon Light and Fit Greek yogurt is my fave. Fat free. 80 calories. 12g of Protein. No sugar. The cherry is decadent.

You guys were so awesome. All your suggestions worked and I was able to stay on the liquid diet 3 days in a row. Today however, the fourth day, I was under an extreme amount of stress and couldn't sleep. I was only too happy to call up the delivery and order food. They deliver till 5 AM. I gotta leave for the airport in 4 hours. Surgery is tomorrow and I just ate my brains out. Feeling miserable :( But at least I'm tired now and I'll sleep.

You need to tell your doctor that you had food the day before your surgery, because from what I'm told your risk of complications will be greater. He needs to be aware.

My surgery isn't until tomorrow and I've been drinking liquids all day. I do plan to tell Dr. Alvarez I cheated though. Thanks for the advice :-)

      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.
