Are you on a pre op diet?

I'm not... Only need to do a clear liquid diet the day before, BUT I'm going to do mostly liquids this week. I'm going to do Protein shakes for 2 meals, then eat one small meal. It scared me to have to get an open incision because my liver is to fatty!!.. I don't have to do the bowl prep either, but I'm thinking of doing that also... I figure the less problems the better :)

Lost 8lbs so far since surgery day. It seems to be slowing down at the moment, but I'm not to worried. I'm only on day 5. My physical activity will pick up in the coming days and will be able to lose more.

Best of luck to all the peeps having surgery on Monday.

I have been so lucky to not experience any pain, so I wish you all a similar experience.

My surgeon fell and broke his hand so my day has been moved to the 23rd Kathy ;( How are you doing BTW?

I'm doing good thanks!! I'm so sorry to hear about your surgeon and your date! That's terrible. I'll update the lust ASAP. Hang in there.

That's great! I'm on day 5 and still haven't gotten back to the weight I was on the day of surgery....close though. I'm down over all from when I started pre op diet. Are you on Clear Liquids or are you progressed to other stuff yet? My surgeon does Clear Liquids for 10 days. Huge bummer, but I'm being a good and compliant patient.

Thinking of you this morning and hoping you have a good day and will be ready to come off that oxygen. A little over 48 hours for me until surgery. I am so nervous and excited at the same time.

I have a big favor to ask! Would you all check the list, and if you see any mistakes, or you want to be added, let me know tonight! Surgery is tomorrow, and I'll be posting from my iPod or tablet at the hospital, and this thing is much easier on a keyboard! That way I can get it all right tonight! After this, please feel free to copy and paste to make corrections! I don't mind at all! We went from about ten or fifteen when I started this thread to 74 people!!! And that's if I haven't missed anyone! I love this group!!

You'll get through it girl!! It's the first step of many. Just be positive and stay by the bathroom! It will prepare u for the barium u have to drink after ur surgery.

I'm almost 2 weeks out and I could care less about any of that stuff now. It's all been worth it.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

      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
