I feel the same. Don't know if I can do this. I don't know why my dr doesn't allow veggies and broth at least. I have to drink 5 chalky shakes that leave an awful after taste in my mouth, lots of Water and sugar free Jello. Of all 3 Optifast I kinda prefer the chocolate right out the freezer. Unfortunately it's the least I purchased :(

I have to do a 2 week liquid diet. I did one week then my surgery was canceled bc of a sinus infection. It was very hard!

I like the " oh yeah " Protein Drinks. They are good. The vanilla and chocolate so I bought a case of them on Amazon it was cheapest there. I can also do broth, cream based low fat Soups and blend out so there's no chunks and they were good too. I also had the sf Jello which wasn't so bad but I didn't like the sf Popsicles. I did make a smoothie of low fat yogurt low fat milk a banana and a scoop of vanilla Protein. Blended it up and it was good too.

Hope this post helps some.

I'm on my second day liquid diet. I'm type 2 diabetic and on insulin. My blood sugar is down in the low 90. I'm dizzy and cold. What happens if I eat some Peanut Butter and crackers? My surgery is next Tuesday the 26th. Sooooo excited

I ate a half of a Peanut Butter sandwich.. I felt like I was going to faint yesterday. I got shaky, cold and very light headed. I felt better after I ate the peanut butter. I am just doing the.best that I can.

I agree with above.....let your doc know. He may have something he prefers to the Peanut Butter or he may have other advice! Good luck!!! Hopefully you're almost done with insulin forever!!!!!

        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
