I am on my 10th day on preop diet. I am surviving on 900 calories. For whatever reason i just dont want to eat. I am forcing down the shakes. I am scared of this surgery. Reality is setting in.

I am in my eigth day, not sure how much is my calorie intake but should be close to yours. My surgery is on Monday. My first day with the shakes was a nightmare, but got used to them and their not bad at all. I use Isopure, chocolate and vanilla in powder form and apple-melon aand passion fruit in liquid form. Although the powder form tastes better I have a variety to choose from and not get tired of the same thing. I am allowed a lean meal a day, but plan to stick to liquids last 2 days. Wish you the best of luck and just have faith that God is in control!

Nights pre op were my worst. I would get raw veggies and Greek yogurt mixed with ranch dressing dry mix and survived. I did cheat a few times

Water...drink lots of Water. Helps with the headaches temporarily. When one is in ketosis, chemicals are being released in the bloodstream. Flush it out. It is all i can do. I am not allowed anything but tylenol. Tylenol doesn't cut it for me either. I suffer from Migraines.< /p>

Hi adrianna, you will do just fine. If you have questions ask away as i am freshly done. Lol

I can honestly tell you that the preop diet is hard but it prepares your body and mind for what's come.

I get very nauseated with anesthesia. That was a very bad feeling. But they were quick to give me meds so i won't throw up. They dont want anything to hurt the new tummy.

The second bad thing is the gas in your body moving and putting pressure. For what ever reason my gas loved to hang out in the chest area and back. It is temporary. That too will subside. If you burp the better. Lol

Otherwise, the pain you feel is muscle pain as if you did situps to win the olympics. Goog God! But rest assured the little pump they give you to press for pain meds id awesome. I will be honest i have pressed it so it gives me that nice relaxing sleepy feeling. Enjoy it cause they take the pump away next day. Then they give you oral meds. Pump away! You can every 8 minutes.

They got me to walk down the hallway and back. That helps with gas. Oh and ice chips will be your friend and tell your visitors not to make you laugh.

Keep in touch!! ????

        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
