Ok so I have a two week pre op diet. It says a shake for breakfast and a shake for lunch then a salad with Protein for dinner. My question is' date=' is there anything I can have in between? The last three days are nothing but clear fluids. So am I able to have Jello, broth, and juice now as well?[/quote']

Yes you can. Anything non caloric like iced tea, sufpgar free Popsicles, jello, broth etc should be good.

The pre-op diets are all different, I was only allowed full liquids for the 2 weeks before.

I would suggest asking your surgeon or NUT. Pre op diets are so important. You want to do exactly what they say.

Mine is 5-6 8oz shakes per day, and sf Jello, broth, tea and coffee. I would say stick with the sf jello and broth yes. I'm the same day as you are for surgery.

Mine is also 5 8oz. shakes a day, with shugar free Jello and popsicles and broth. The shakes that they suggested however contain aspartame, and I am getting killer headaches. I'm not sure what is safe to take to counter act the headaches.

I'm on day 3, with 4 days to go, and I'm not sure if I can take the headaches for 4 more days.

I was headache free by day 4. It's most likely the detoxing from the sugar and processed foods that your body is going threw. The liver is also shrinking down, which makes all the other organs a little harder. Once I got to day 4, the headache was nothing like day 2-3 was. Day 5 was zero headache! Your allowed Tylenol only for pre op. I went to bed early after taking hot baths. That's what got me threw days 2-4.

Keep going, your about to turn the corner honey!

I've had the opposite problem. I've had the #3's all week. Wish it would stop but know it won't until about December. Oh well.

Kayla' date=' your diet is identical to mine. Are you being sleeved in Mexico? Who's your doc? I want to know... What exactly we can have in the salad? Is it just green veggies?[/quote']

Yes I am being sleeved in Mexico by Dr. Lopez at the MiDoctor hospital. I was told I could have peppers, onions, egg, cucumber in my salad in addition to the Protein part of course :) where are you having your surgery?

      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.
