I used to live in West Palm/Lake Worth then moved north to Martin County and finally settled up here in north central Florida about 6 years ago.

I start pre-op liquid diet on Wednesday. Any tips?


My best advice is to make sure you drink your Water, chew gum to satisfy your need to chew and sip your Protein Drinks to stave off hunger. I haven't been HUNGRY like starving hungry. I've just been hungry for something to dig my teeth into. But the hunter itself has been manageable. Miserable, but manageable.

Floridagal1976 that's AWESOME!! I'm day 4. Yesterday was weird. At "lunch," my shake made me a little sick to my stomach. I'm feel like I was just hangry the first two days, now my tummy just feels blah. I'm having a Protein Shake 3 times a day and 2 yogurts. Any suggestions on substitution?

That's all your having? Just 3 shakes and 2 yogurts? That doesn't sound like it's enough. I get 5 shakes, at 3 hour intervals. I was eating SF Jello (I've never liked jello) but I'm bored with it. I've also been relying on broth. Probably more than I should but it's better than cheating with food. I have 2 bouillon cubes a day (only supposed to have 1, as needed). Well damn it I need it every day! I can also have SF popsicles (gross). Just keep your eyes on the prize! I'm on day 9. Over halfway there. The finish line is on sight!!!

I Don't have a quota to meet, as long as I don't have any sugar or carbs or any calories beyond my Protein Shakes. I would imagine my protein is 150g a day, considering each shake has 30g and I have to drink 5 a day but it hasn't been officially set.

My liquid diet is 6 high Protein Ensure a day and 2 cups of non-starchy veg.
I'm terribly envious of those people are are allowed to eat meat, I miss meat.

I'm taking 4 weeks off, I saved up some vacation time from last year, I just wanted to know I was on solid food and know what's what before going back to work.

      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.
