My best advice is to just do what you have to do. This journey is really all about making good decisions about food and drink. While the pre-op and post-op liquid diets of the experience are among its worst (and most difficult) parts, it helps you to embrace the grit and perseverance that you must possess to be successful long term.

Good luck!

Best advice is to ease into it a few days before starting it for real. Cut out foods that are crap, don't drink fizzy juice and don't go insane buying stuff.

I'm fasting for surgery on Monday so I'm nearly done, Tuesday lunchtime I'm sleeved.

I just had surgery on Wednesday and had a 2 week pre op diet before. The first 4 days were hard then I felt sooo good. My energy spiked and it became so much easier. Just stick with it!

Starting my Pre-op liquid diet soon. Any suggestions?


My thoughts are it is temporary. It is doable and necessary. I am scheduled Wednesday, April 19, and am surviving the preop diet. I chew sugar free gum to help. I also make sure to take deep breaths and breath when I find myself wanting to eat out of boredom.

Temporary!!! Best of luck!

I'm on pre-op diet at the moment. Allowed Diet Jelly which has helped. Best thing I have found, at dinner I have shake and veges. I made zucchini 'pasta' and creamy cauliflower sauce. Sounds crazy but cauliflower whipped up as a sauce tasted amazing and makes me satisfied. Look up cauliflower sauce on the Internet! IT's only temporary, and time will go by quickly :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.

      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
