Survival skills for the 14 day pre-op diet



Recommended Posts

My surgery date is November 8 and I only have to do a liquid diet for 48 hours before my surgery. Wonder why mine is so short compared to everyone else?

I have no pre-op or post-op liquid diet. Just high Protein and low carb a week before. Every surgeon is different. And I am going to a Center of Excellence Bariatric Center, so I'm trusting what they tell me to do!

Day 13 of 21. I've gone crazy. Ive also lost 11 lbs. I have cheated twice! This is really hard. I'm obsessing about food, and lashing out at people. I'm having crazy dreams where I put hands on people. This is the last bit of evidence that I am a food addict and I cannot do this alone. Good luck everyone! Please pray for me.

I have been on Clear liquids and 3 shakes a day since last monday. I am feeling like I might end up on the front page of the newspaper for committing murder! Thursday cant come quick enough.

You guys give me such good advice! I am glad I found this place before my journey! I am set for my first consult with the doc on the 11th of November. I am hoping this will be a quick journey. . . I hate the food addiction! Its worse than beong hooked on meth (which I was) that was very easy compared to food! Good luck everyone.. keep up the postings too!

To those of you who feel like wrapping your hands around someone's neck.. I'm praying for you :)

Hi Chris

I have Dr Rantis and have surgical date one week after you. I just started the shakes this weekend and they aren't as bad as some I have had on fasting diets. Looking forward to surgery and I would love to hear how you are doing as the procedure progresses.

        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.

      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
