Hiya I'm on day 5 of 14 on pre op liquid diet and it is rough!!! I have not cheated and don't plan on it! I really look at this as a challenge and I have a how bad do I want this attitude! I don't want any complications and it's really training me mentally and physically and socially you find different things to do with yourself you learn your body such as when your hungry and when your just eating I have also come into understanding of eating for nourishment eating used to be my pleasure or a hobby now I just drink my disgusting Protein shakes for nutrients lol you will be fine tho

It really is a test, I almost broke 3 days ago but I got through it. I don't want any complications either so it is worth it to stick to the diet. Some surgeons will stop surgery if your liver is too large because it is not only in the way but it is also too easy to damage.

I think you should follow our surgeons directions as much as possible, but you didn't ruin anything if you messed up. Personally, I didn't have a specific pre-op diet. My surgeon asked me to lose 5-10lbs prior to surgery, but let me do it in my own way. I only had a one day liquid diet prior to the surgery. I have had no issues or complications since surgery nearly 3 weeks ago.

I'm on day four of seven preop diet. I get sleeved on the 30th. I see it as a test also. This definitely prepares you for sleeved life. Eat to live not live to eat. I can't wait till this is over. I keep imagining fitting into my pretty clothes again and that helps me to get through the day. We can do it! Good luck to all!

        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
