I think most people work during the time frame of the preop diet. There is no reason not to. Did I misunderstand the question?

Yes. But I work from home and mostly on the computer. I did find that working out during that time was really tough.

I fully intend to work during mine. I have my surgery on a Monday and my last day of work is the Saturday before and that's only because my employer is closed on Sunday during the summer. I also plan to go back to work after a week. That's my plan anyways, it may not happen that way.

@@xojessny

if you are concerned about OP seeing what you are or are not eating.............

get used to it ;)

2 weeks before surgery you will be drinking the shakes

after surgery, you'll be eating differently with "mush" pureed, soft and finally solids

people might be curious (nosey) about why you are eating what you are

get used to the "possible" stares/questions

if i didn't tell someone i had WLS - i would tell them i am trying to lose weight (i/you probably have said that before)

special diet - liquids, Protein et al

if it still bothers you....

knock it off :lol:

you are the one that counts!!!

and this is the way you'll be eating for the rest of your healthier, happier, longer life :)

good luck with surgery

speedy recovery

I plan on working. my whole pre-op diet is one month .... hopefully it goes ok! I'm trying right now to increase my Water intake. I'm going to the bathroom a lot. I've also got myself off caffeine. If anyone is trying to get off caffeine, increase your Water intake to at least 5 bottles of water a day and that really helps with the headaches.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      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
