Can I eat Ramen noodles on my pre op diet, I remember the nurse saying something about them but I don't remember what she said? Of course they're closed 2day, please help

I'm not sure what your doctor's pre-op diet is like, but I could only have shakes. The shakes could be with or without skim milk. That was the only flexibility I had.

Every doctor's preop diet is a bit different, but for most the point is to shrink the liver by cutting carbs... and noodles are very carby, so I wouldn't think so.

Best bet is to not have them today, and call in tomorrow. ;)

Ramen doesn't really have much to offer in the way of nutrition. The flavoring is often chock full of sodium and MSG. I'd try to find something a little healthier if at all possible.

Ramen noodles wouldn't be the best choice. I'm on day 3 of my pre op diet and have only felt hungry once.

Try a shake followed by a bottle of Water. Then have a creamy Soup later with a bottle of Water and Crystal light.

Eat some Greek yogurt and cottage cheese for Breakfast. There are several different options.

Try and hang in there - I know it's hard... I'm on day 2 of my Pre-op (3 shakes a day plus unlimited SF Popsicles, Jello and broth) and I want food, lol. So I keep drinking Water :) and lots of it ;) if you have to cheat from all liquids I would recommend some of the choices already mentioned like yogurt. You can do this!!! Just keep the end goal in mind :)

      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.
