I'd like some advice...

My doctor doesn't require a pre-op diet. But I'm on a clear liquid 2 weeks following then liquid for 4 weeks. Total of 6 weeks liquid. When on clear liquids what did you all drink? Any suggestions for Proteins and clear liquids. I think I need to order some things. I'm pretty much going to be on my own. Any suggestions appreciated. Also, Vitamins? which ones did you all like?

What Vitamins are you all going to take?

Sent from my SM-G930U using BariatricPal mobile app



I'm going to continue my Multi Vitamins I the morning and crush them, as well as powdered magnesium which I dissolve in Water every evening. Also Omega 3, Calcium, and Biotin for my hair. I don't take calcium with the multi vits, but later in the day.. I have osteopenia so have to keep my intake of calcium etc. up.

I’m doing alright thank you! Some pain, bloating which is to be expected but overall, so far so good! Keeping a constant positive mind will help!

I would recommend trying a few different clear Protein Drinks before your surgery. I’m sorry to say that I find them to be soapy and very hard to drink. I threw out the Premier Protein clear one. I’m struggling through the Isopure. I only have to drink clear liquids the day before, the day of, and the day after my surgery. But try and find one you can tolerate.

I'd love a secret group too!!

I'm scheduled for Monday the 8th and got stuck in LA today due to the storm coming at home (Boston). I begged the uber guy to stop at a drug store so I could buy Protein drinks. Lol My pre-op testing was supposed to be tomorrow but clearly that won't be happening. My surgeon's office is great though, they are going to try and get me in on Friday (I'm taking red-eye home tomorrow hopefully) or worst case the morning of surgery. They said it's not not ideal but they would try and work with me. Such a relief!! I was bawling in the airport when they said yes flight was cancelled.

      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.
