Sept surgery people



Recommended Posts

Surgery is 9/17. Pre-op started this past monday 9/2. 2-3 Protein supplements, regular Snacks (pickles, deli meat, cheese, veg w/dip, etc...) and a meat and veg meal. Also allowed 1 cup of fruit.< br />
First night I had a couple spoonfuls of baked Beans, and have been consuming probably closer to 1.5 c fruit. I'm tampering down the fruit to 1c tho, and haven't cheated with anything else that I am aware of.

No calorie limits. I weighed in at 313 Sunday morning. Today I weighed 305.

Mine is Sept. 16th. My LSD is for 3 days and is 5 to 6 shakes a day, depending on which

shake variety I chose, I can also have other Clear Liquids and up to to large dill pickles a day.

HI KohakuSeuda,

There’s actually a warning statement on the bottom of my pre-op diet sheet that says dizziness is common during the diet . Because the shakes are so low in sugar, it’s just enough to keep us above hypoglycemia. I’m on Day 2 of full liquids. Last week I had a meal and 2 shakes. Now, 5 shakes plus Water like you.

I will say from my memory when I had my lap band, day 3 is the worst. For many it gets a little better.

Since sugar free Jello is considered a clear 0 cal liquid, I’ve added those as well, just to feel the little bit of weight in my tummy. It seems to help with the hunger.

Best of luck!

      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.
