Ok, so I'm doing my pre op liquid diet. 4 bottles of slim fast high Protein Shakes, some veggies and a handful of fruit. Seriously??? Is it me? I am soooo hungry! These bottles of slim fast are so small! I don't want to mess up but I feel like I could eat my arm!!! Any suggestions??? I'm trying to fill up on water....

At least you can eat veggies and fruit, most people are on liquid only!!

Keep drinking the Water (it's a great tummy filler) and just put your mind to it. This pre-op diet is leading up to a huge change for you that will be worth the effort you can put in now! I wasn't on a pure liquid pre-op diet, but my pre-op was tough! I am proud to say I didn't cheat once in the 10 days required - I kept my mind focused on the prize!

I can't eat fruit but I can eat 5 oz of lean Protein at night with my veggies. I am on day three and it gets better. Not great but better...hang in there

That is so true. I think I am realizing how much time I spend focusing on food. Time to pick up some hobbies!!!! Thanks!

The first four or so days of the preop diet are miserable. Make it through those and things will be fine afterwards.

Are these the Slim Fast shakes you're drinking? chocolate.aspx" rel="external nofollow">http://www.slim-fast.com/products/shakes/Creamy-Milk-Chocolate.aspx

If so, 18g of sugar is obscene!

Slim fast also has High Protein shakes that only have 3 g of sugar. This are the ones I am using. The others I bought one time by accident and they make you hungrier lol

That makes me feel better! I was gonna say that that much sugar would make you hungrier but you're way ahead of me - well done!

@ShelPrice...I am doing much better. Thanks. I took everyone's advice I am totally in the zone right now. I just came from a retirement dinner (paid $50 for the ticket) and all I drank was Water. The buffet was huge AND they had an amazing dessert table. It didn't phase me one bit because the cost of the ticket is not worth me risking a delay in my surgery! I just focused on the fellowship...not the food!

@Kami and Don....I am using the high Protein Shakes. I pretty much stick with the chocolate and I increased my Water. That helps! I try to be proactive and drink the shakes BEFORE I get hungry because when I get hungry my mind starts to wander... lol

Be thankful you get those veggies! A lot of people only get shakes. 150 oz of Water a day kept me sane.

      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.
