Preop liquid diet oopsies



Recommended Posts

So I started my 2 week liquid diet last Wednesday, I’ve been strict each day doing really good but on Saturday I was celebrating my sister in law’s birthday and my doctor said I could have One meal that day, so I had a shrimp cocktail and a few glasses of wine and some beers.

today (Sunday) we ordered lots of food to finish celebrating her birthday. One thing led to the other and I ate really bad. Had a few beers and ate just way too much.

i only did it because, this was once in a blue type thing. We don’t really order much food like today but since it was her birthday we got so much stuff and it was hard to sit there and drink a shake or broth while everyone was was eating all this delicious food.

My surgery is on 9/16, I’m not planning on messing up again and Im gonna continue first thing tomorrow. im currently writing this feeling so full and ashamed of my self. I’m just writing to see if anyone else went through this in the beginning of the Pre op liquid diet phase.

omg yes! I AM NOT ALONE lol

On my second day of my 2 week liquid diet. I had to go to a dinner in the city and could not cancel. I wanted to be the designated driver so I made sure I didn't have anything to drink and I just ended up eating a sushi roll. I honestly felt like **** because I was still sooooo hungry and all my girls ended up ordering an insane amount of food and Im just sitting there with an empty plate that I devoured in less than 5 min.

After that day I stuck to the diet soooo well because my surgeon literally told me that if he ended up doing the surgery and saw that my liver hasn't shrunk from the liquid diet, that he wouldn't continue. So that's honestly what's keeping me going. Don't let this little hiccup mess you up for the rest of the journey. YOU GOT THIS!

I had little cesears pizza and bread sticks four days preop and liquid shakes the remaining days and surgeon said liver was good for surgery. Dont beat yourself up about food its part of why we fat. You cant change the past and the future is going to be better 💗

Hi
Good morning
My go to Protein Shake is premier protein-favorite flavors chocolate, caramel, vanilla. The Cookies and cream is nasty but thats just me. This shake has 30gms of Protein and 160 calories.

Hope this helps.

Slimfast is probably not okay— very high in sugar.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
