It's different for everyone. My taste didn't change at all! :)

But I agree - don't overstock cuz you just won't know if you'll have that problem til after surgery!

Good luck!

How about replacing Breakfast with a Protein shake -- it's a start!

That's what I was told to do and I'm 2 months pre op... Lost 10 pounds so far.

I had three weeks of liquid post-op, but no pre-op liquid diet. I just had to loose a certain amount of weight before surgery.

I dont recommended to start early but I do recommend to find the Protein Shakes and any other liquids your going to drink ahead of time. Another tip that helped me was always keep your hunger under control. If I start feeling hungry I drink a Protein Shake right away and lots of Water after. Im on day 5 and so far its been easy. Day 1 was the hardest!! Good luck!

A test run would just prepare you for what is in store. I was just curious to see what the liquid diet would feel like. But the first couple of days are the hardest so doing that one day will be hard but at least you know it eventually becomes okay.., I think back to the day that I did my test run which is seven days ago and I Would do it again just so that I know what the different shakes taste like.

The mistake I made in my first couple of days was that I was just drinking the shakes it is a must to drink Water water water water water! It helps keep you fall between shakes

You are looking at 2 weeks of liquid before surgery, 1 week clear liquid after and 2 more weeks of full liquid before you are able to eat again. That is a total of 5 weeks for some it is 6 before they can eat again. Don't rush it and put yourself through extra weeks. It is not that great.

        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!

      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
