What is ur pre op diet like? Im miserable lol

I was miserable for the first three days! I couldn't see any food on tv without wanting to jump through the tv. Yesterday I slept a lot. Last night I was really hungry, but my emotions about it were in check. I get two Atkins shakes, two medium sized fruits, 2 1/2 oz cups of milk, and two cups of veggies a day. How about you? I'm sure I will have my moments. I'm staying away from grocery stores and any restaurants or parties. Luckily, I'm a stay at home mom so I can pretty much lock myself in my house fr the remaining days of this diet. I drink hot tea when I want to put off having anything.

My doc has me on these Protein Shakes. This week I have shakes all day and one meal at night thats unlimited mixed greens, one serving of veggies and 6 oz of a lean meat. I can have a cup of coffee with skim milk only. And no dressing on my salad and 64oz of Water a day. Next week im on straight shakes no food. I dont know how im going to do next week ugh :( its interesting the pre op diets r different. I guess its the doctors preference.

Yeah, the diets vary! Some people are on liquid diets for two weeks! The day before surgery I'm on a clear liquid diet. A piece of meat would be nice about now! Hehe I've been weighing myself every day to help. I know some days I won't lose any or may go up...but so far I' started at 284.7 down to 276 four days later. If you can have hot tea do it! Just remember what we are working towards! You are beautiful by the way! We can do this! Spend time reading this forum. It has really helped me when I get scared or wanting to eat ten pizzas! Lol

Dr. Miles did my band to sleeve revision on Jan 9th. He is WONDERFUL!! All of the staff at SVE were awesome. You will do great!! If you have any questions about my experience please don't hesitate to ask.

You are so right after day 3-4 on pre-op diet it gets much easier, my doc says no veggies though 3 days prior to surgery.

Hope everyone has a smooth surgery and speedy recovery! Almost there......yeah!

      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. 🤞
