Just keep on keepin' on! You'll get there. I had a very similar pre-op diet. The exception: I could have UP TO 1 cup of cottage cheese per day. I would eat it almost one curd at a time just to make it last longer. LOL!

Thanks for your words of encouragement!! I am so excited to be on this path to a new life. If the worst thing is eating liquids for a week or so, I've gotten nothing to worry about!!

ive posted this inanother area, but i REALLY struggled through the clear liquid diet preop. Post op it makes perfect sense, but preop was tough. I FOUND SOMETHING THOUGH...brands in broth matter!

if you like fried chicken, Butterball, the same people that process turkeys, have canned chicken broth that is so good im sipping hardly anything else. (beside the special k protien Water, those are great too) But different brands do taste different.

I think one of the reasons i did sowell in recover is because i really stuck to the clear liquid diet. there was nothing in there to throw up or make me nausious (spelling?).

Just keep reminding yourself that you WILL EAT AGAIN! yes you willl, you will eat again and enjoy it and feel more satisfaction than you have before!

(thats what i tell myself)

Reading from the letter from my doc... my clear diet is to consist of:

coffee (no milk or creams) Tea, Water, Jell-O, Popsicles, Broth/Bullion, Kool-aid, Gatorade, Non Pulp Juices.

      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.
