Final 12 Days before Surgery



Recommended Posts

I would do the liquid diet. 3-4 Protein shakes a day, lots of Water. sugar free drinks no caffeine. That should help you lose and help shrink your liver. Hope this helps having my surgery on 27th also dr did not say to lose weight just start liquid diet on the 18th.

Good luck

I don't have an exact date yet, but surgery is about three or so weeks away. My doctor had me start the pre op diet Monday. Six days in and I've lost 13 pounds!!

My pre op diet is two Protein shakes a day, and one SMALL meal of 4 ounces of a lean meat and two cups of non-starchy veggies. And of course lots of water!!!!

I'm having RNY on the 26th. I started my preop diet on the 13th. It was difficult at first. I now understand head hunger. Now, 5 days in, I really don't get it anymore. Good luck to you all that are just starting it! See y'all on the Loser's Bench!

I am having surgery on Thursday 9/22.

I am currently in my pre op diet, which has been SOOOO hard. I'm just hungry and I want everything I can't have. I wasn't told I had to lose any weight before surgery, but that my diet was to help shrink my liver and was better for a healthier surgery. I have been doing okay, but I am using MyFitnessPal App, to track what I eat and all of the nutritional info. Well, every time I turn around its telling me I have had too many carbs. So it's hard. Does anyone know what our goal for crabs and sugar is per day?

        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
