Food Cravings, depression, crazy!



Recommended Posts

I've done a juice fast before just for a detox for 10 days so I can't understand why I am finding this pre-op full liquid diet so difficult. I miss food. I actually chewed chips up just to taste them and have the crunch then spit it out. Ugh! I am about to eat some Soup & popsicles.

Well this is the worst part! Just do your best and do not cheat! I promise it will get easier! You can do this. I know it is hard!

I've also done a 7 day juice fast, but am finding it pretty difficult to wrap my head around my 10 day all liquid Protein pre op diet.

But lucky for me, I have another few days until I've got to start it. I find out my surgery date tomorrow and then it becomes real.

Yep, for me the pre op diet was the hardest. Here's some tough love. Get your head around this now, you want to shrink your liver pre-op and have the best possible outcome for surgery and after. It's hard, it gets easier, you've got this. Try to picture self 6-8 months down the road. Don't let your head sabotage your success. It's still a head game post op as well. Good luck!!!

How many times can I love this? It's exactly what I needed to hear. I think sometimes we get so focused on making it threw the surgery itself that we forget to keep the head in check.

This may sound crazy..but I am not familiar with the full liquid preop diet. My preop consists of 2 shakes +. 1 low fat/ low carb/ high Protein. Is that what you're referring to by full liquid preop diet?

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
