@chellevsg I've been on the same liquid diet since June 23rd and 2 days prior to surgery I can't have any Protein at all, just broth, sugar free Jello, and Water. It does get better! You're in the home stretch

My surgery date is 7/7/16 . On day 3 of the pre op diet and having a horrible time . It's so bad that I'm thinking about canceling my surgery. Is the post op diet comparable to the pre op ? I don't know if it's caffeine withdrawal or the strict diet but I feel terrible ! Headaches, nauseous and no energy . HELP .... Please give me hope and tell me it gets better .

@@podg25 I'm only 35 BMI then I was loosing weight by change of food habits because I didn't know if I was gonna get approved but yes I did so I had lost weight. I'm trying to eat now to gain a few before I do the liquid diet I don't know if I'll do the two weeks because I'm not at the BMI I was and don't want to be too small, just my crazy thinking that they'll think I'm too small but I have other qualifications like hbp, sleep apnea,etc. I'm just lost here

So, can we talk about something NOT fun? Is anyone having trouble with really bad Constipation on the pre-op? I started taking Fiber supplements, then today I broke down and took laxatives, but still NOTHiNG. Is becoming very uncomfortable and I am afraid if things don't move before surgery in 2 days, the gas pains and everything will be much worse. Anyone else experiencing this?

I've got my surgery date for 7-18-16. Nervous. Anyone else have a July surgery date scheduled?

I will be converting my band to sleeve on July 8th.

July 20th.

Currently on a 4 week pre-op liquid diet.

It's been a lot harder on this diet than I thought. Am nearly finished week 2. I posted in the July thread but this one seems to be way more popular. I went on a pre pre-op diet too for a few months, and when I switched to the pre-op diet I had to eat even less. And knowing that I couldn't have the occasional takeaway, plus starving, made it so hard. Must admit I cheated twice in week 1... since it was carbs it put me out of ketosis. Since then I'm back on the bandwagon and feel like I got it out of my system. Am currently in a good mindset, however the fact that I can eat some carbs in a month or two keeps me sane, as bad as that may sound to some.

        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!

      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
