Honestly did anyone CHEAT on their liquid diet and was still able to get the sleeve done?



Recommended Posts

On day 3 or 4 I cracked and had like a dozen saltines...lol. I felt so guilty afterwards that I didn't do it again. That was the only "food" I had during my two weeks. I was too afraid of my doc because he was a no b.s. type of guy that would have walked away from the surgery if my liver hadn't shrunk.

On evenings when I was really hungry and needed the feel of something in my stomach, I would have a cup of steamed broccoli. It would take the edge off and I feel helped me to avoid binging on bad things.

Everyone's pre-op diet is different. By the time I started my pre-op, I'd lost 20 pounds just from NUT meetings. So my liver had already shrunk so much, it was only a week long, and I was allowed one lean meal a day, in addition to my 2x Protein shakes. I didn't find this difficult at ALL.

The trick is really just to make sure your liver has shrunk enough that they can work around it. So, I mean, do you want to risk it?

I had 1 week of 5 shakes a day. During that time I ate one French fry and had a cup of broth from Mexican chicken Soup. I did totally fine and was able to have my surgery.

My pre-op diet was not full liquid until 1 day prior but I was limited to one non-liquid meal a day of only lean Protein and veggies

I cheated with trail mix on days 1 & 2, and 2 bites of baked chicken on Tuesday, then felt so guilty. No other cheats after, don't want them to touch my liver! Lol

I ate a couple pieces of celery today because I was really munchy and I looked on line and I said no celery before surgery. So I called the coordinator of the hospital and she told me no more celery but I would be OK for surgery. She said surgery did not break down really well in your stomach. So no more celery for me. But I did fine that Dannon yogurt 80 cal yogurt's were the bomb. banana cream excellent, strawberry cheesecake was great haven't tried much more. They are 12 g of Protein and 8 to 9 g of carbs

        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
