Hello! I am new to the forum and scheduled for gastric sleeve on 3/16/15.

Today is day one of my all liquid/protein shake diet for two weeks.

I have chosen Isopure whey Protein, unflavored and almond milk. I also have Premier Protein and the Isopure liquid pre made beverages.< /p>

I will probably stop by the store and get some sugar-free pop cycles, Jello and broths tonight.

I was wondering if there was anybody who was starting their pre-op diet or have started already and had any tips/tricks for adherence.

Thanks!

Yesterday wasn't so bad! I had 2 Premier Protein shakes, one at about 10 am, the 2nd at about 2pm then had Almond Milk with Isopure whey Protein about 5pm.

My boyfriend and I went to Walmart about 6pm for plenty of Clear Liquids then stopped by Home Goods for some candles and other goodies.

I came home and had a sugar free Popsicle and cup of chicken broth.

I think I'm just so excited for my surgery that sticking to this Pre-op thing is like a bonus as I keep thinking about all the weight I'll lose prior to surgery day.

Let me know how you ladies are doing as your pre-op diets commence. I'm definitely here for your support and vice versa.

Hugs!!

im on day 4 of my liquid diet. surgery date is march 12th

the only thing that fills me is when i drink 2 cups of chicken broth. im

using pure Protein chocolate powder with skim milk for my shakes.

i also throw yogurt and ice in it. i found that its easier drinking it that way

Surgery date is March 18th. I technically start pre-op liquid diet today. My pantry is not prepared....at all. I, surprisingly, got a call yesterday to schedule and they said...."Ok, start your liquid diet tomorrow." YIKES! Good luck to all of you. I'm new to the forums, but do enjoy finding people that I can relate to. I'll be following this post. :)

      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
