I just want a salad!



Recommended Posts

So here's the story...

I'm scheduled for surgery on the 13th...yay!! I'm also a low bmi at 36.5 so I only have to do a week for you preop diet.

But this week has been the hardest trial in my food career. Not only is it my birthday during the diet it is also my bf birthday and a important event centered around food.< /p>

If my preop was low carb meals mixed with shakes it would be a breeze. But nope my doc wants 5 shakes a day nothing else but Water. No Jello, no Popsicles, no broth nothing to it break up.

Never in my life have I wanted a mixed greens salad with chicken in my life. I can do without the burgers and super fatty foods. I just need something different than a shake for the next couple days.

Now that my rant is done I'm going to go make another shake and be head hangry.

I'm also lower bmi (33) but I have to do the full 2 weeks of liquids only :( but I can have broth at least!

That's unlucky that you caught 2 birthdays and a food based event during this time!!

I'm very hangry at the moment too, I'm almost at the halfway point & then surgery on the 21st.

Goodluck with your surgery :)

I'm in france and they only require two week liquid diet for the band. For the sleeve and bypass their prefer just a low fat diet. It's all about cleansing the liver of fat to shrink it. I'm no expert at all but as long as it's not fried chicken on the salad, I would think it ok? I could be completely wrong mind you...

So I gave in and had a baby salad because I was out and had no protien and need to eat

Be sure you share this news with your surgeon--tomorrow. :(

I will. But according to my surgeon and NUT the purpose for my preop is to shrink my liver not to drop weight. But it likely won't do much for me since I have a low bmi and not much of a chance having a fatty liver. But I'm back on the wagon and making sure I don't bank on new protien mixes to taste yummy

If I didn't know better I would of think this was my post. I going through the exact same things. Surgery is tomorrow, one week liquid diet, 5 shakes, (but I can sub one shake for yogurt, pudding, creamy soap)

I have been wanting a chicken SOOO bad this past week. Then I started craving things I don't like. Now it's Clear Liquids only I'm stuck eating or drinking I should say is only Water and green Jello. ( dr doesn't want me eating reds or purples) and I don't want broth because too much salt.

      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
