I start my pre-op diet TOMORROW! Jan 13th surgery date, how have you all been finding the pre-op diet if you have started?

Mine has been rough. A Protein shake for 2 meals and then 4 ounces of Protein and a half cup of green vegetables for the third meal. No starches . Two servings of broth, sugar free popsicles, and sugar free Jello as needed to help with hunger which don't help all that much.

However, this time next week I'll be post-op. Trying my best to hang in there

I'm on day 7 (of 14) of a clear liquid pre-op diet. I can have 3-4 Protein shakes a day and Clear liquids (broth, sugar free Jello, non-caffeinated tea). In all honesty, it really hasn't been bad. I haven't had any bad days -- not even Christmas. I've discovered that warm liquids are my best friend!

@@dayciavu Well done on keeping up with it. Mine is pretty much the same gives me a set of what I can't eat for Breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as Snacks, very low carbs. A liquid diet would be very extreme! I would find it very hard, but excited for a better lifestyle. Officially starting tomorrow I think the first few days may be easiest as I have done various crash diets but cannot guarantee anything.

@ninamarie @ that's different maybe it depends on weight, because I do know some people I have met are on a pre-op diet for up to 4 WEEKS! It's meant to shrink the liver but lucky you for only having to drink liquids the day before

@@mizzmegan official surgery twins! Are you having to do a pre-op diet?

      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. 🤞
