I have fallen off my diet after doing it for three weeks. I go to the doctor tomorrow and I'm afraid of what few will say. I do exercise daily and I watch what I eat but I didn't go by his strict rules =( anyone have this problem

Have you asked yourself why you didn't follow the rules set by your surgeon?

Yes, preop diet is torture and difficult. But it was explained to me that if I couldn't make drastic changes prior to surgery how would I handle those changes after surgery?

So, come clean with your doctor and do what you need to do. Don't beat yourself up. Tomorrow is a new day.

VSG is worth all the trouble to get to goal. I love my sleeve and have no regrets.

Having a lot of relationship and financial issues and that's why I fell off. I'm scared they aren't going to let me have the surgery

Just be honest. If they deny your surgery date, there's always another day! Keep your head up.

I slipped a couple times pre-op we are human!! I know personally the liquid diet or any diet prior to surgery was TERRIBLE!! You still have that ungodly feeling of hunger snd knowing you can eat it etc after surgery its so much easier to follow the rules and you do alot better with doing what you're suppose to...I wouldn't lie but I wouldn't go out of your way to tell all the details you are trying and working on it which I feel matters most!! Good luck, I hope it all works out!!

Just remember why you are having the surgery. We need a tool that can help us adhere to a diet and the sleeve does that. Otherwise why would I or anyone else get it? If we could just do a pre op diet why would we have surgery? Let's get this sleeve party started!! See you on the losers bench!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
