My surgery is also May 2nd and my preop diet is two weeks...which means I am HUNGRY hahaha. I have read that some of the diets are different, mine is all liquid. How is everyone else's preop diet?

I have been on a liquid only diet since Monday. For me, it isn't super great but I am not really hungry, just more so miss solid food. I will never take a chicken breast for granted again. Lol and I am dreaming about food, the other night I dreamed I kept eating food and spitting it out after I realized I am not supposed to be eating it. My pre-op is this Monday and then surgery the Monday after that, so looking forward to starting a new chapter in my life!

Sounds like we are having it the same day. My stomach growled LOUDLY for about 3 days when I started the liquid diet. I am having more trouble controlling my blood sugars than anything else, not used to them dropping so low. It's important to not accidentally skip a Protein shake...my bad I love your dream! It's almost 2am here, I woke up dreaming about food, it was a strange dream but pretty funny.

I started mine last Monday. I think it gets easier as you go but make sure you drink all of your Protein because it helps to make you feel full, besides it being healthy. Good luck! Maybe when we are going crazy with wanting "real food" we could check in here instead of being tempted.

Priscilla,

I only have Clear liquids the day before surgery. I consider myself very lucky, I feel for everyone on the two weeks or more. When is your surgery scheduled?? Mine is May 6th.

My stomach stopped growling at about day 3, but I am sure noticing all the commercials for restaurants and I am smelling food from blocks away...I guess you always want what you can't have haha.

Well my doctor's office has a very specific (and helpful) education series and when you are approximately four weeks from surgery, they start you on Optifast on a Saturday (so that everyone is getting the information at the right times. I am grouped with about 5 other women) So whenever your surgery falls from then is how long the diet is but it is supposed to be about 4 weeks. I think they do it that way to make sure that everyone gets all the info they need. I'm fine with it. I will do whatever it takes to get this surgery at this point!

      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.
