I know how that goes. Day 2 and 3 I was horribly moody, achy, and didn't feel like moving

I am on day 7 of my preop surgery. I have been so hungry all the time. I haven't lost any weight. Feel weak and can't sleep. I am following it exactly. About to break and eat mashed potatoes. Still 12 days away from surgery. I can't take it. Is it really that bad to eat something soft like mashed potatoes?

The goal of the pre-op diet is to shrink your liver so cheating will delay that process. Pre-op diets vary, but most are intended to be an uber low carb diet. It takes a few days for your body to get into ketosis. If you cheat your body pretty much has to start over again. My doctor made no qualms about it - if he got in there and saw a fatty liver (which meant you didn't follow the diet) he would stop the surgery right then and there. The smaller the liver is the easier it is for the procedure which means it's safer for you. Is mashed potatoes worth it?

      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.
