Today I went in for my pre op class and was told since we were given a goal weight that the pre op diet would only be for the two days before the surgery, so two days before surgery doing the purée food then Clear liquids the day before. I have Kaiser and they have a really great Bariatric program that offers pre and post op support and information, my mother had the surgery and didn't have to go thru a lot of what I went thru with her insurance.

I'm on day 4 now and my energy levels have completely dropped (I have dropped 10lbs though which is a plus!). I was going to the gym 5 days a week prior to being on the Optifast but by midday I'm so drained I don't feel like doing anything.

I'm on day 6 and day 4/5 were the worst I was very groggy and felt like I was getting sick- my energy levels today are much better and the "flu" feeling is also subsiding- hopefully this continues :)

Ii am pre op with surgery date of May 3rd 2016. I have been prescribe two weeks of Optifast 900 shakes 4 times a day. I can also have up to 2 cups of green veggies and 1 tbsp of low cal dressing per day, with the addition of clear fluids and sugar free jell-o. I'm on day 3 and starving. I'm grumpy, tired, have a horrible headache, diarrhea and painful grumbles from my tummy. I have been struggling each day with hunger pains and wanted so badly to cheat. It's definitely extremely hard

Well I guess it's good they give you a preop diet. I didn't have one although I took myself off caffeine before the surgery. We were even told to eat a meal the night before surgery, a normal one, not a buffet. Everything went fine. I wonder why so many people have to do a preop liquid diet.

I was told that the pre-op diet is to help shrink your liver & get some of the fat away from it so it can be moved during surgery.

I started pre-op diet on 5/23 for four weeks. Have to have on five shakes per day. I can have 3 servings daily of sugar free Jello, Water ice or Popsicles. I can have Decaf soda, tea , coffee, crystal light , Gatorade , Powerade. First week I lost 16 lbs. it's not too difficult yet to be on such a restrictive diet.

I'm struggling with this Pre Op diet. This is my second day and I only can have 4 Protein drinks, crystal light and raw vegetables. I was exercising but the liquid diet has me with no energy. I'm waking up now with a headache in the mornings. I don't know how I will make it to 3 weeks

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.

      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
