I think the two week liquid diet will be worse than the surgery itself, but I'll survive...

My nut told me I didn't have to do the liquid diet bc my liver was already small but I'm thinking if I should just do it anyway to get use to it .

I've got two weeks on the per Optifast diet. Not looking forward to it. I have a feeling that I may b a raving lunatic dying this time so I have warned everyone around me! I told my husband that he was only allowed to eat things I didn't like during this time.

Hahaha

I've got two weeks on HMR. I have started replacing some meals with shakes to get used to it. So far I've been a like shaky and it has got me worried for when I'm on full liquids.< /p>

Have any of you been told that it was important to keep up your Fiber while on Meal Replacements? My dietician told me to take benefiber during this time as not to get constipated.

I've found in the past when I've done the shake diets I tend to use the bathroom more. But that might be because I was eating a full main meal at night.

What are some of your experiences?

I have not heard about increasing fiber, but I will ask in the morning.

I have my big pre-op appointment in the morning with my surgeon and nut. I am nervous, and hoping I get good news. Surgery is less than a month away!

I called today to get the ball rolling on my complication insurance, since I will be having surgery out of the country and my health insurance excludes WLS. Not scared yet, just excited. However, what will happen is that I will be TERRIFIED on surgery day!!!

My surgery date is August 6th as long as insurance approval goes through. I start my two week liquid diet Juky 23rd, I will be having a light and fit dannon greek vanill ayogurt for Breakfast, a eas Protein Shake for lunch and am allowed a lean meat and small salad for dinner. Only thing that sucks about having surgery early August is NO SWIMMING,,with2 small children this might be difficult..but a small price to pay for health..I too have a busy August but this was the only date that would work for me. Hopefully we can all keep eachother posted on our after surgery progress. Oh and my pcp called today after some blood work and told me I have High Triglyerides.. Surgery couldnt have come at a better time! Bring it on!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
