Slurp! My pre-band liquid diet starts today!



Recommended Posts

Hi all!

You all know how excited I am to be banded on Sept 2--I am the blender queen this week in preparation and I guess, practice for post op too!

Just blabbing !

It will be here before you know it. Did the Doctor put you on a liquid diet before the surgery? Keep us posted on how you are doing. I am hoping I am not too far behind you.

Today is day 5 of my pre-op full liquid diet--I swear to God, I am starving! I could eat the whole house--or even my child if he didn't keep outrunning me (just wait, you little bugger!)--half joking, half serious!

Is this what it's like afterward? I keep thinking, hmmmmm, if no one sees me eat it, it didn't happen, right? Um no......

Very stressed about this today and wondering about anyone else's experience !!!!

You are funny!! Thanks for the giggle. I have to go to class now--ugh--1.5 hours of sheeeeeeer boredom with a teacher who has a high sort of falsetto voice. Makes me crazy! I must be grumpier without food!

going to ignore the fact that across from the school is heaven on earth--Dairy Queen!

oh, bad day, bad day!

Only have to live like this until Thursday--then I get my band and this will all make sense, right?

Get you a good book to read, like "The Notebook". Watch minimal t.v. I got so sick of seeing food commercials on t.v. every time it was on! AAHHH!!

No one ever died on the pre-op liquid diet. lol. It's tough, I know, but it'll be no time before you are banded and asking questions about why you have no restriction right out of the box. This too shall pass... :-)

Stay away from the DQ - it is NOT your friend.

The pre op liquid diet is so much harder thenthe post op diet. I had the biggest fears that I would not make it through the post op liquid phase, but with all the swelling and gas you are not even hungry. It is the strangest thing

Hunger for me kicked in week 3..hang in there you will do great, after the post op liquid phase is gone you will be wondering why you worrried so much about it. You will see that your hunger is virtually gone right after surgery for the first week

Good Luck

      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.

      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.
