Enjoying last night before liquid diet



Recommended Posts

My husband referred to this as the "Last Supper". We had gone to a great steak house. I had a porter house and he had the fillet. It was delicious. Now that I am sleeved I can't even imaging consuming that much.

Good Luck to you on the liquid diet and your upcoming surgery. Just remember every pound you lose at this stage gets you to goal sooner.

I just had my last meal too! Oddly I didn't eat a favorite or anything like that. It was just a meal I had in my freezer. I had imagined my last meal as more spectacular. Oh well!

I'm scared for the liquid diet but it helps me knowing that my surgeon doesn't make it mandatory. I have some fruit and raw veggies on hand just in case!

Also, I took my pre-surgery pictures today because most people lose 10+ lbs on the liquid diet.< /p>

You know what's crazy? I started my pre-op diet on October second and I've already lost 10 pounds! Not exercising or anything- just sticking to my diet exactly. My diet consists of 3 Protein shakes and 2- 100 calorie yogurts. Still have 9 more days before surgery.

Charlie, typically they put you on a high Protein liquid diet before surgery to shrink/improve the quality of your liver prior to surgery. I could be wrong but it may have to do with your BMI? Most people on this forum have to do it but I know that I've read that some people don't. I had to get a special 'Bariatric Advantage' Protein Meal Replacement powder.

Not all surgeons require this. Mine does. Today is my first day on the liquid diet. 5 shakes a day. Find myself not hungry at all. I actually had to just make myself have a last "shake". I've been using my powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury samples, and what a difference it makes in hunger. The store stuff leaves me hungry. This stuff doesn't.

I actually heated up soy milk and mixed in chocolate Protein powder. Was kind of tasteless but still ok enough to finish.

        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
