I went on a low carb diet one and my trainer back then noticed I was lethargic in my training and he said to me go on a low carb diet but don't be on a no carb diet. We still need some carbs in our diets in order to function properly it's like running a car with petrol only and no oil.

Hey,

I understand you because I know how low carb diet can change your life. And it can be quite difficult to follow pre-op diet.

But I think this is the best way to achieve a long term weight loss.

I have gone through the same situation and consult with Dr. Naim in California to resolve my queries regarding lap band.

The LAP BAND surgery has non-surgical adjustments that helped me to minimize the potential for weight regain.

Reply and question:

I dieted on high Protein, low-carb shakes in the past and found that “it” gets much better about day 5. Initially just try to take it easy, get help with your baby, and drink a lot of Water. You should feel much better soon.

I am now pre-op too and will start the two weeks of shakes in about 2 weeks. I’d love to hear taste recommendations. Seems many can only be bought by the case, so I’d like a sense of what other people have liked. Premier Protein? GNC? Slim Fast? Glucerna? These are some of the ones recommended by my surgeon.

Thanks

        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
