Pre op diet/ upset



Recommended Posts

So day 2 of pre op diet and it’s so hard [emoji30] I’m starving [emoji24][emoji24] but I gotta do what I gotta do

I still haven’t got a date so I’m still going through clearances... dr won’t clear me until I get ultrasound that she ordered a month ago?! & a mri that she also ordered a month ago! I’m annoyed, everything was going so good. So fr I’ve only gotten the EKG clearance I’m not sure if she sent it to the office or is she waiting for me to do the mri& ultra sound to get Medically cleared to send with it [emoji30] I’m just drained

Why are you on the pre op diet if you don't have a surgery date yet?


One of the clearances my doctor requested was for me to loose 10 to 20 pounds before. So he suggested I go on this diet. 2 Protein Shakes & 1 regular meal a day.

What are the MRI and ultrasound of? That’s a bit unusual. Liver?

No , i had back issues/surgery before but it’s acting up again so she had requested for a mri of my lumbar spine, it has nothing to do with the weight loss surgery neither does the ultrasound, but she said she won’t clear me unless I get those things done

I just was thinking if my surgeon suddenly decides he wants an abdominal ultra sound both my gastroenterologist and cardiologist have done them within the last 3 months. GI for liver and intestinal, cardiologist to rule out abdominal aortic aneurysm potentiality. Still don't have my firm date, dang it.

I was able to lose 100 pounds Pre Op by going Keto and eating as if I had already been sleeved. This time before the surgery will Help you get prepared for life Post Op. Keeping your Protein High and your Carbs low will help you trim that 20 in a Hurry. Head Hunger is terrible but once you learn to tell the difference between it and true Hunger you will have a tool to build your future with. Good Luck

If you are truly hungry (not head hungry) is there a reason you couldn't add in one more shake? Are you tracking calories? If not you should consider. If your one meal a day ends up blowing it out of the Water because you're starving yourself on the shakes you'll end up sabotaged. FYI- When I make my shakes I add in extra ice and leave it a little crunchy. Something to chew during the day definitely helps with that need.

Keto is when your body goes in Ketosis and burns your fat stores instead of using your food for energy. I eat mostly meat Dairy and Green Vegetables. I try to keep my daily Carbs under 20 a day.

      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.
