3 week pre op diet



Recommended Posts

I had it set in my mind that I would do a two week diet but my doctor's office called and told me it would be a 3 week diet. I think i'm going to die, ok..i'm being dramatic but I have never heard of a 3 week pre op diet. Have any of you done or heard of that?

Three weeks? Kinda sucky but yes I've heard if it.

I've seen a person or two have to do four weeks!!

OMG I've even seen one or two people have to do three weeks of just plain milk!! 0_o

See it can always get worse :P

Just remember the hardships you will go through the next months or so will be so worth it!

A year from now your whole life will have changed for the better :)

I am in the same boat. I am on day 2 of my three week pre-op. This is the hardest thing I have ever done. I hope it will get easier as the days go on.

My husband had to do four weeks. Purpose is to shrink the liver since they have have to up behind it to do the surgery. So as hard as it may be stick to the diet.

A lot of the amount of weeks depends on how heavy you are. The smaller the liver the better off you are

I start my pre-op diet Jan 2nd. Mine isn't all liquid like a lot I have read. I am supposed to have Breakfast and lunch Protein Shakes and dinner of lean Protein, veggies, and a small starch (brown rice) with 3 snack of Protein Bars. I am totally going out for a nice filet mignon sometime this week and some spaghetti.

I start mine on the first. My diet is like yours thankfully! We must be having surgery close to the same day. Mine is the 14th of Jan.

Yes I am scheduled for Jan 15th. I'm so glad not to have the all liquid diet. I'd be a hot mess.

I am on day 7 of my pre op diet. 1 more week to go! I am on full liquids. I'm not really craving food anymore. Just pretty weak and tired. I have lost 10 pounds though! I didn't think it was possible for me to lose weight! Hence the reason i am having surgery....

I'm actually looking forward to the pre-op diet. I want to lose some weight before surgery so I am a bit ahead of the game. Am I weird?

      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
