Anume is it a pure liquid diet? Or so you do Protein drinks? Just curious if it can help me lose some weight before the 24th

I lost almost 17 pounds in 1 week and I only started working out on the 6th day due to side effects from the Opti fast, I had the nausea, headaches and the fatigue so I've just been kind of taking it easy this first week, but yesterday I started walking on my Wii Fit and doing aerobics on it and I tell you it works I have a treadmill but I didn't want to risk getting dizzy and hurting myself. a friend of mine had surgery about 4 years ago and she said she didn't lose any weight on the fast now I don't know if she didn't do something right or if she did some thing wrong but she said she could loose. I can tell you I was really worried about this part of my journey I thought that I would struggle really bad, with having 2 kids to prepare meals for but so far I've been doing great I have not cheated not 1 time I just pray that these next 3 weeks are smooth. When do you start?

Not for awhile but it will only be a week liquid diet. But I have to lose some weight before my next appointment on the 24th. I have lost 3 pounds in a week but need to lose at least 4-5 more. But all together I need to lose 14 pounds

Hi everyone! Surgery is set for October 28th. I have my final weigh in this week. I had to do 6 months of them for insurance. Then I have my psych eval and nutrition consult. No pre op diet. Just Clear Liquids 3 days before. We are all so close!

That week will fly by especially if you keep yourself busy, unfortunately for me like I said I had those side effects, and when I'm dizzy or have a headache I'm done for so I only left the house this past week to drop my kids off and pick them up from school, but my week still went by pretty fast. hopefully yours will too.

When do you start pre op diet cooksie? Is it like the 1 to 2 week liquid diet before surgery? Or is it just low low carbs and Protein drinks?

I started last Monday so I have 3 wks left. It is the low carb/protein drinks. I don't get hungry at all it's just not being able to eat what I want.

        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
