Pre-Op Liquid Diet... Does it get easier?



Recommended Posts

Yay!! I've got less than a week. I'm on day 8 and I'm sleepier and moodier than ever, lol. But, I'm trying to stay positive and trying to refrain from eating a slice of my coworkers' birthday cake, lol! We can do this!!! I know it! We're too close now to give up. Just think, in just a short time we will be sexier and healthier than ever! ;)

Andrea, you aren't allowed to say C-A-K-E. Lol. Haha a co-worker today was sitting at her desk eating honeycomb Cereal.. She didn't even know she was in danger! :-p Today is Day 8 here as well and I will say it's been much better. I am very sleepy as well though. So glad surgery is less than a week away! :-)

Day 7 for me, searched Pinterest for recipes for different shakes, so I am having a different flavour for each meal.

That's a great idea! I have been using PB2 in some of mine, makes it so much better!

Thank you @@KristenLe - it could be. I am very leary to take anything even if over the counter, I had a reaction to prescribed medication back in December and it has turned my life upside down and caused an enormous amount of health problems which is what actually led me here. I am still not back to myself. So I will just drink some black coffee and hope it goes away. That is a possibility though. It is pouring rain here this morning.

Awe, I hope the 6 months passes quickly! It seems so long!

Hey! I noticed you said that a prescription turned your life upside down and led you to this forum. Was the medication a steroid? I'm asking because, a steroid brought me here, too. They made my knees feel like they were breaking, made my face huge, and made me gain 50 pounds in 3 months. It was awful.

I start my liquid diet Tommorrow my surgery is scheduled for August 16 and I still have 3 lbs to lose by aug11 I'm worried I won't lose it

3 pounds by August 11th should be extremely easy to achieve, especially while on the liquid diet. I'm 90% sure you will lose even more than that. I lost 2 pounds on my first day of the liquid diet. Good luck! And please tell me how it goes. If you're struggling with this liquid diet, send me a message and vent. Venting definitely helps. And I'm more than willing to listen. :)

      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. 🤞
