So hungry on my pre op diet



Recommended Posts

Tanks all, Great ideas.

I couldn't stand it last night and "cheated" I had a cup of chicken broth. It was great.

My dated is 3/25. I've lost 18 pds on my pre- pre op diet and now my pre op diet.

I'm a Chaplain for Hospice and see many people facing an early end of life because of live style choices. I don't want that for me so, this at age 52 will help me change that for me.

I'm on day 9 of my pre-op diet, surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning. According to my 800 cal diet that I've been given to follow, I can have as much broth as I want...so don't feel so bad about cheating! You made a good choice! You could have cheated with something much worse!!

You know I've only been using Slim Fast Optima and Atkins. They didn't taste too bad at first, overly sweet and left an odd taste in my mouth. Now, 6 days later, I've started to crave them! I haven't tried any others because I love these. I've got the Slim Fast Optima French vanilla and Milk chocolate and the Atkins Caramel Latte which tastes like a frappachino.

HELLO JENA,

I'M ALSO ON MY PRE-OP DIET AND TRIED THE SLIM FAST OPTIMA.... I DON'T CARE FOR IT EITHER! :confused2:

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT THE FUNNY AFTER-TASTE. I WON'T EAT OR DRINK ANYTHING WITH SPLENDA, EQUAL OR SWEET N LOW. I CHECKED THE INGREDIENTS IN SLIM FAST OPTIMA AND IT HAS ARTIFITIAL SWEETNER IN IT. I THINK THAT'S THE FUNNY AFTER-TASTE. I SWITCHED BACK TO THE REGULAR SLIM FAST.... AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, IT DOESN'T HAVE SPLENDA IN IT.

GOOD LUCK WITH THE REST OF YOUR PRE-OP DIET AND YOUR UP COMMING SURGERY!! :thumbup:

I hope things are going better today... Now i don't have a date scheduled yet but i have been drinking the Bally chocolate protien shake and i put lots of ice and mix it with Water and use my my magic bullet and wait about 5 minutes and then drink it with a straw and it is actually good... prehaps if you add some ice and mix it in a blender or something and make it super cold it wont taste too bad... just a thought..

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
