Hi, I'm new here and so excited to be a part of such a supportive group! I live in SoCal and am going through the program with
Kaiser. We've had 3 meetings and they haven't mentioned a liquid pre-op diet. We are supposed to get our meal plan this week so it will be interesting to see what it turns out to be.

What do you do when hungry in the liquid stage?? I think I worry more about being able to stick to that more than anything. I tried a diet just doing one Meal Replacement shake a day for about 2 months and got so sick of it I don't think I could have drank another one. Was supposed to do 2 a day but couldn't force it down. .

Darkstarwon-

I keep telling myself to keep my eye on the prize. The shakes make me sick if I only do them... but I noticed if I do some broth in between (nice on hot) or a sugar free Jello ( something to somewhat chew) or a sugar free ice pop in between all of the Water it helps alot. You will be amazed what you can accomplish when you have something at stake.

I know exactly how you feel.. I have to drink Glucerna and the only way I can tolerate even one flavor is if I don't let it touch the front of my tongue, otherwise will regurgitate it.. unlike most people I have to deal with this for 12 weeks :70_poop:

Im seeing a dietician now...3 more visits to go...how did u guys determine on what surgery to have...I'm stuck on a decision.


My surgery is not set up but my decision on sleeve was made like this..... Get this out of my body so food doesn't fit anymore... I don't have a hard time losing the weight....biggest loss was 125lbs on a Protein diet.... However I've gained more each time due to my stomach being stretched.... So when they take 2/3 out, there won't be anymore storage place.. Best of luck in chosing what's right for YOU.

This liquid diet has been hard. The first 6 days were surprisingly easy for me. Then as of day 7, wow! Hunger has been unbelievable. Everything I see looks delicious. I've struggled hard! Day 11 and I am down 16 pounds. That has been a great trade off, but definitely not easy.

        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
