Fell off the wagon/Pre-op diet (Aug. 11 sleeve)



Recommended Posts

I'm posting because y'all have become a great source of support for me.

I am on Day 3 of my 14-day Pre-op Diet and I am feeling physically ill right now.

I fell off the wagon tonight. I'm supposed to have 2 Protein Drinks and one sensible meal per day.

Today I had one drink, a chicken caesar salad for lunch, and a turkey sandwich, with frito corn chips, slice of cherry pie with scoop of vanilla ice cream for dinner. Is your mouth gaped open? I feel so sick. I WILL get back on track tomorrow.

I'm under a lot of stress at work and personally. I realized that I ate today to comfort myself and to handle the stress.

Then EUREKA! It hit me again-- this is how I've gotten into the condition I'm in now.

Y'all, pray for me. Please tell me how you're handling your pre-op diet!

You'll be ok because you recognize what you've done. No worries, just get back to it and don't be discouraged. Before you know it, your habits will change for the better. Stay focused & good luck to you.

My best thoughts going out for these days to fly by for you and to keep you on track.

When I was pre-op and felt like cheating HARD I would get out of my house in some way or I'd call a friend and talk talk talk until I was distracted. It's not easy, but so worth it.

You've got this. You do.

I too fell off the pre-op diet wagon, fortunately I was able to limit myself to eating only lean Protein. Work to get back on track, it is soooo worth it!!

To me, the pre-op diet was harder than the surgery and recovery. But 1 week post-op, I could tell that mentally, things had changed. I no longer obsessed over certain flavors and I have the "need" to eat every 2 hours.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
