Ohhhh, I didn't know fat did it too :blink:

It doesn't.... sweets and fried food mostly... fat is not something to track.. Protein, sugar, and Water. GOOD fats actually HELP with weight loss!

I sit here drinking my normal 15g Protein Atkins. i cry silently realizing these are the only edible Protein Shake i like and they have too much fat.. Im on preop diet and now i feel like ive f*cked up royally. Surgery is in 3 days...

Honestly my dietitian would have rather me gotten Protein in than go slightly over the recommended fat content. She did force me to try a bunch of others first, but they all made me super sick. Post-op, the Atkins also started making me sick, but likely not due to the fat content (I have a whey allergy).

I LOVE soy protein. I think they all taste like brownie or pancake batter. lol. They are a little grainy, but meh.

Oh, and for real, on my pre-op diet I majorly cheated like 4 times and had Burger King and Taco Bell and texmex and all kinds of other crap. You're not ruining anything. Don't worry. lol.

That is the complete opposite of what my surgeon and team stress. Every single thing I buy must be nonfat or lowfat for the rest of my life. Eventually I can have more, like nuts, etc. Everyone has different programs. No one seems to have the same recommended diet. Do whatever your surgeon tells you to do. Ultimately that is who you should listen to... not anyone from a forum or some YouTuber.

The MayoClinic site also confirms that high fat diets cause dumping: https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/gastric-bypass-surgery/in-depth/gastric-bypass-diet/art-20048472 amongst many other websites.

I didnt even have a pre-op diet at all. I didnt even know people did until I joined this forum after surgery. The only thing I had to do was the day before surgery was liquids and 1 bottle of bubbly laxative Water.

      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.
