So my dietitian and psychologist finally signed off on me to take the pre surgical classes and post nutrition classes! Woohoo its starting to be sureal. Those are my last appointments to attend in march before meeting with my surgeon.

Any who i found out we are not required to do the 2 week liquid diet prior surgery. Did any one else not have to do that as well? If so, did your drs tell you why?

Idk why but for some reason i was looking foward to doing the pre 2 week liquid diet. Lmao

Mine is not so,much worried about last minute forced weight loss with a liquid diet, he'd rather we have a balanced,low carb diet immediately prior to surgery. Surprised me too, I thought he would want the liver shrunk and the bowels relatively clear of fecal junk. Well you know what they say about assume my friends.

Having read through this board before meeting with the surgeon for the first time last month, the pre-op diet was one of my biggest questions. He said he doesn't require it. After that the nutritionist at the hospital gave me a booklet with all sorts of directions to follow and that document says I have to do the two weeks liquid diet. Fortunately for me, the doctor told me what he says goes when I checked with him afterward. He said the hospital's guide is good for the post-op regimen it details, but his word is final for pre-op.

My surgery is on February 14th. I was not required to do a full liquid diet. It is partial allowing for one lean and green meal per day. My BMI is 49, however, my doctor said simply they've been doing these a long time, and have refined their requirements as they've learned what worked well and what did not.

Out of curiosity deltagirl93 where are you located? Sounds,like your surgeon and mine have the same thinking. Will be praying for you as your date draws closer. There will be healthy days and a healthier life ahead.

      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.
