Pre-opt liquid diet



Recommended Posts

Well it's day two of my pre-opt liquid diet and I'm starving. I can hear my co-workers crunching away on food:(

I feel your pain. I'm on day three. How many weeks do you have? I have to do 3. I don't have co-workers, but family to deal with.

2 weeks so I guess I can't complain too much

Just curious...is the preop liquid diet...liquids only (all 3meals). I'm just starting the process.

Really depends on the doctor. Some are two shakes and just one meal with 4oz of meat two cups of veggies, others three shakes a day, some don't have pre opt diet, so many variations

Ugh yesterday (day 2) was worse than today. I have to have 5 shakes a day (already sick of them) ... then I get one serving of starch, fruit and veggie a day. I wish I could have some meat! Switching things around here and there to see what works best. It all sucks but it'll all be worth it in the end....or at least what I'm telling myself to get through thelse 2 damn weeks! Good luck to everyone!

Hang in there. I'm 7 days post op and the liquid diet sucked for the first 5 or so days. After that, I felt great, had a ton of energy and wasn't even hungry. It'll get better.

This gives me hope because I feel like I am dying on day 2 lol. My body is detoxing and making me feel ill (massive headache, night sweats, vomitting) just a few more days. It's crazy that I have done this to my body and all of the toxins that are in me. The way I feel right now just confirms that I have a serious food addiction.

Hang in the ladies.

So glad you posted this. I am on day 7 of a 2 week pre-op Protein Shake diet; and am STARVING!! I am beginning to get concerned with my experience after the ByPass.. will I feel like this most of the time? Right now I can eat some lettuce when it gets really bad, but after the procedure solid food will be a long way off.

        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
