So I am on my two week pre op diet...and I have not cheated once and I'm on day 8...I have to drink 3 Protein Drinks a day along with cream of chicken sugar free pudding etc.... So the directions for the Protein Shake says 1 scoop per 8 ounces... And I just realized a scoop is only a half of a scoop... :(

I was wondering if anyone else has done that and what they think my surgery is April 30th and I have been through hell for a year with this and would be really sad if they wouldn't do surgery because of this.

Your fine.. its all about shrinking the liver. I had my surgery Jan. 31st I did cheat a few times on pre-op very difficult. Congratulations on making it to day 8.. keep up the good work. It will all be so worth it.

Ok, cream of chicken sugar free pudding, sounds gross! ;)

The scoop issue probably isn't going to be an issue.

I like that you are concerned about following instruction to the letter. That is a good sign, you have a good attitude.

You will be fine and if you keep up the same diligence you will succeed.

For the Unjury protein... The instructions said use 1 scoop for 8 ounces of milk... I just thought that was an awful big scoop so I looked at the facts and it said 1 scoop was 27 grams which is only 1 ounce of powder which would only be half of a scoop...

1 scoop is 1 scoop if you are using the scoop that comes in container. I have a feeling you are mixing an oz of weight & an oz of volume. They are not interchangeable.

So you are saying the scoop in the container that it came with i fill it all the way I'm not sure what I did it just seemed like a lot.. I took a measuring cup and measured it in it was 3 ounces

Yes, the scoop that was in the container is the proper measurement. A measuring cup measures volume, the Protein powder is measured by weight. If weighed 1full scoop on a scale you would get 27grams. Keep in mind you'll need to subtract the weight of the scoop itself (I'm guessing the scoop is about 7-10g).

My surgeon doesn't even make u do the preop diet. Like others said to shrink the liver but its so the tools used in surgery can move it out of the way to get to ur stomach. If too heavy/fatty u might have to be opened up, larger incision & recovery time. This rarely happens with my surgeon and the cases it did were the grossly obese >500 lbs. I think ur good & def attentive to detail which will be of great importance after!!!!! Gluck!!!

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

        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.

      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
