Hey guys my surgery date is Dec 27th. I was ordered to start my liquid diet the 13th , today is the 19th and I'm finally fully sticking with it. I had some issues in the beginning, where instead of one bowl of Soup a day; I would eat two a day etc. Not cheating bad but cheating is still cheating. I'm here to tell you after 2 / 3 days on it, it honestly does get so so so much easier. I'm doing great now on only two Protein Shakes a day & one serving of soup. I looked for a discussion about PRE op diets everywhere on here it feels like and couldn't find one.. so I just wanna tell anyone who's reading this, you've got it! Fight your cravings through the first few days and I promise you it'll get easier.

It definitely gets easier! Luckily, I wasn't as hungry as I expected I'd be. The only bad thing I experienced was a mild headache, but I was able to get rid of it within 30 minutes. I have to say, the Protein Shakes most likely saved me from feeling miserable. They kept the hunger at bay, especially since they're rather tasty. :)

I heard most people start feeling better, as far as hunger goes, on the 3rd or 4th day. It's best to keep busy and stay far away from anything that looks or smells yummy.

I am on my pre op diet. Bypass on the 27. There is definitely a battle of the will going on. So glad I only have 7 more days. I can do anything for 7 more days. Staying focused. Thanks brennafaith...I needed to see this.

I'm on the 27th as well! #twinning ....I cheated today. I had a small salad with no dressing. I'm not even sure why I did it. My stomach has been really upset and I can't stop using the bathroom. I thought maybe it would have but it's not lol. Tomorrow right back to my game plan. I don't feel as hungry as I thought I would and I want something, don't know what, so I just don't get anything.

Was there anything that helped your headache? I get bad Migraines and am fearful for my pre op diet.

      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
