I've spent the last few days doing 2 shakes and a meal hopefully I'll be okay. Good luck everyone

I watched carbs and sugar because I was told those were the main thing to be concerned about.

I had a Protein shake for Breakfast and I had other drinks throughout the day and I had Soup for dinner.... I always had veggies during my pre-op diet except for the last day when I was on clear fluids only.

My surgeon said everything looked great and my surgery was perfect. I even managed to lose 9 pounds during my pre-op diet.

day 1 pre op diet

I feel pretty good but I didn't get anywhere near 1000 calories I'm only at 725 and the only other thing I might have tonight is a couple 10 calorie drop ins in my Water to get the rest of my water in and a 15 calorie popsicle idk if that's good or bad but I did get all of my Protein in

I'm scheduled for the 25th as well...let's just say my pre-op diet is not going well at all. It seems as if I'm obsessing about food now. This is horrible!!!

Yesterday was rough for me still didn't feel fatigued or headaches or anything but I was STARVING

My first day on the pre-op diet was a disaster. I may have ended up eating endless shrimp at Red Lobster. I think it's so difficult because it's mental. Soon we won't be able to eat more than a spoon or two of food and the urge to live it up is strong with me.

Today is a new day and I'm on track with my Protein shakes and I get a lean meal for dinner.

P.S. My surgery is the 24th.

Ah yes, I infamous pre op diet. It gets easier the further out you are. I remember in the first few days I slipped and had something I was not suppose to have. Don't beat yourself if you though. It will be over before you know it.

        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
