Did you ever call your surgeon and ask if you could have some food? If not, you should.

Restless monkey Yes I did and I talked to the nurse and she said NOTHING. I asked if I could have a cucumber a day or maybe a hardboiled egg in place of one of my shakes and she said no. I was ok with that. I dont know why I ate that pizza I havent took a dang bite of anything in 9 days now this. It just makes me mad. Im ashamed of myself.

Well, if they said no, then it must be important for you to follow it. At least you know that, instead of wondering if it's just a "form" diet and you are suffering needlessly.

I just read on another post you've lost 17 pounds; hopefully that boost will help you hang in there!

Just remember, you aren't the only one who has struggled with austere harsh diets. You can make it!

I can empathize with you. I'm already banded but recently I have fallen off the wagon. Just been eating the wrong foods lately and not exercising :blushing: Lets get back on track together!

Marmar did your doc want you to lose 20? Or am I (entirely possible!) confused?

My dear friend. Eat the pizza, your human, we make errors. If we would be perfect we would be divine. You ate the pizza, was it good? Good! Now just forget it and go back to your original diet. I read a funny today at work. " When there is too much stress in your life, do like a dog. . pee on it and go on. . ."

So the rest you lose is gravy! Well, Not-gravy gravy! :smile2:

That is so good! I lost 32 in the 5 weeks of preop dieting I had and it made a tremendous difference in how I felt, etc. I am very happy for you !! You may lose close to that in 3 weeks, not 5! WTG!!

While I understand what you're telling OP, you need to also understand the importance of following the pre-op diet to the letter. Restless Monkey can tell you about it. The pre-op diet is to shrink your liver. If you don't follow the diet, and your liver is too big, then you stand the chance of not getting the band! You're a self-pay, so that's alot of money to throw away. I cannot stress enough, the importance of following your doctor's orders.

Yes, some have cheated and still got their band, but is it worth the risk?!

Please explain the diet you mentioned. How long must one be on liquid diet before surgery? and why? Thank you.

Different surgeons require different preop diets (or none) depending on the patient etc. If you decide to have surgery and your surgeon wants you to do a preop diet, s/he can explain the rationale behind the one you are given.

      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
