Oh I know what you are dealing with! Started my pre-op diet Monday too. I don't feel mean per se....that would take energy that I just don't have right now! I've been tired and dragging so far this week. And it will be worth it on January 28!

Hang in there! Think about the weight you will loose Pre-Op:) and the benefit of decreasing the fat around your liver so the surgeon can better do there job. It is definately not easy but you can do it !

My pre-op diet start on February 1st and my surgery is scheduled for Valentine's Day! My surgeon suggests that I purchase Bariatric Advantage Meal Replacements and bars for those two weeks. Everything I've heard/read about them says they really bite. Can you all share what Protein your surgeon suggested? I would truly appreciate it. I'm trying to test and compare different ones before I commit. Thank you!

Awesome! My pre-op diet consists of 4-8oz shakes a day. I can also have 6-8 servings of the following Decaf tea, 1/2 raw veggies, 6oz sugar free Jello or pudding, 1c v8, 6oz Greek yogurt sugar free fat free, 1/2 c unsweetened applesauce, 1/2c cream of wheat or oatmeal, I can also substitute a Protein Shake for 3oz of grilled chicken.

From what I have read on here this is an easy diet. Some people only get liquids. I guess every faculty requires different pre-op diets. I wonder why? I find that weird, we are all having the same surgery.

I feel a lot better today than I did yesterday I have to remember to eat/drink every 2-3 hours or so I became very irritable yesterday! Lol oops

Oh as for Protein shakes I have a list that I can choose from

Unjury-I like so far I purchased the sample pack from their website.

Bariatric advantage- I haven't tried there is no sample pack in their website

Gbc performance whey isolate28- didn't try

Genisoy ultra xt- can't find

Isopure- my fav! But more like a juice than a shake comes in a bottle already made got at GNC on sale but 3 get one free

Syntax nectar- going to Vitamin shoppe to buy a sample now!

Jay Robb- my other favorite! I got a sample pack from their website too

Blue bonnet- cant find

Optimum nutrition- didn't try yet

I get the joy of being on a business trip during one of my 2 liquid diet weeks . . . at a conference with cocktail reception, client dinners, etc. Yeah, that's going to be fun. I have to be charming and nice and all that crap while I sneak off to my room to make a shake. Good times!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
