Anyone else experience lack of energy on the pre-op liquid diet? This is day 2 and I am so tired. I've been taking a multi Vitamin since we are lacking nutrients. But my goodness I thought I had low energy before.

Well my 2 week liquid pre-op has been aborted..dr called and changed my surgery to Jan 11th. The good thing is, it's a better surgery time..12 instead of 3 and I can go to Christmas dinners without carrying all of my food with me.

Hi !!! Guys ????

I will be wrapping things up next week.. I have had a long road in front of me! From being denied to have to start all over again!!!

I was like most people. I show up to my appointment get weighted and move on... Well not so fast???? turns out that My surgery center was not billings correctly.. So long story short it looked like I never went through the weight loss program. But grateful to be able to finish the program finally!!

I want to know if anyone has tried to do a liquid diet before an pre-op diet starts?? I was told to do one day for the week. I have find myself so hungry, that I ended up with a Migraine and in the E.R. ????????????

I did 1 full day of the liquid diet, the only thing I felt(feel) was extremely tired. Like I have taken naps today and yesterday something I usually do just on Sunday's. I never got a headache. Did they say at the hospital that it was something you were lacking? Or was it the type of Protein Drinks you used?

Yes to the emergency room!! but I might add I have chronic Migraines to begin with. I was told to drink Atkins Protein Shake. Because of the amount of Protein in it.. I like drinking premier but I can only have three of those. Premier has to much protein before surgery.

I've done the juicing thing before. The first 3-5 days for me are like that. No energy and then I adapt.

Yes definitely.... Seems like when I first started this journey it was a rare procedure or at least it seemed but as times passed seems it's getting popular

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
