August sleevers && preop diet



Recommended Posts

I'm on day 2 and doing well so far.

Hi Hannah on day 2 as well but now it's Friday night and no enjoying drinks and festivities as I do on weekend, so I was doing well all day until tonight hit. I am glad you are still doing well and I will fight to focus on the end result.

Hey friends! My surgery's the 13th. :) Excited with all of you.

I find that the more I stick to it the easier to becomes. I'm going into the fourth day now. I realized that for this preop diet' date=' I REALLY have to slow down my eating. Sometimes it takes me an hour to drink some broth, have some veggies, whatever it is I'm allowed.

The hardest part now is intermittent hunger and realizing I'm about to go into a habit (grazing, picking up a food and then being like, "WAIT! I can't it this." My plan is to take it hourly.[/quote']

At least you can have something other than just these Protein shakes.

Surgery is 8/7 feeling way tired, lightheaded, etc. Is anyone else having this issue with the prep diet?

Cant say I've been feeling that way but its still early, I'm just on day 3. Your surgery is right around the corner, hopefully after you'll start to feel better. Good luck!! :)

My pre-op diet is shakes for Breakfast and lunch with 2 Snacks and a palm size meat (no skin, or fat, or oil) and 3 hand-fulls of veggies for dinner for 2 weeks.

I haven't cheated so far but I probably would if I just had a clear liquid diet like you lol. Stay strong!!

I'm allowed 3 Protein drinks, and 6 servings total out of the following: oatmeal, cream of wheat, 98% fat free or light veggie Soup, sf pudding, sf yogurt, no sugar added applesauce, lettuce/carrots/cucumber/broccoli with 2 tbsp of ff dressing. The serving size is 1/2 cup to a 1 cup. All the clear liquids I want (including sf popsicles, my savior the first few days!)

I'm winding down day 4 and still have 2 Protein Drinks left. I had major tummy issues the first day, but that was an experiment gone wrong. I switched to soy milk months ago after hearing about people's post op issues with lactose intolerance. I bought skim for this week. Bad idea lol I'm back on soy now and all is well. My dizziness and headaches are getting better, although I still feel super scatter brained. Walking around the grocery store tonight made it slightly worse, yet I felt better once I got home. I'm also diabetic so my flailing blood sugars are contributing to my head troubles lol

Yesterday I obsessed about pizza for about 3 hours. I just sat and chomped through about 5 popsicles till it passed. My only "cheat" has been a teaspoon of grated parmesan cheese in some Soup. I don't even count that lol Today has been much better. This is doable, as long as you keep your eye on the prize!

I haven't officially started the preop diet yet. My surgery is on the 21st. I bought all of my stuff yesterday and will be easing myself into it over the next couple of days.

My surgery is on the 21st as well. Second day with my liquid preop diet....13 more days to go. I keep reading in other posts that this gets easier. I sure hope so.

        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
