Tomorrow is my last day of pre-op diet. I'm to the point that I don't even want to eat. I'm so tired of the same things. I can't wait to be able to add cheese, yogurt, milk, nuts etc. I know it will be a while, but it's something to look forward to. I lost 14lbs this week!

Can we do a Paleo diet in terms of carbs? I have saved some Paleo recipes I was thinking of trying down the road. Thank you Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi. I am going in for my sleeve surgery on Wednesday, my emotions have gone everywhere from excitement, to fear, to wanting to cancel to knowing this is my last chance at a normal life. I am mostly afraid of complications, but lately my mind has been on the future. I am on my pre-op diet this week (strictly meat and veggies) I don't eat much of either, I am wondering how I'm going to do if that is all I can have. I think adding yogurt, cheese and other dairy products in will be a big help. Did anyone else eat very little meats n veggies before surgery? I am ready to make changes, and I'm hoping that with some practice, I can learn to eat the foods I need to. I have lost 10lbs so far on my pre-op, I have not cheated once!

3 more days until surgery. I'm just now starting to get nervous. I was nervous a few weeks ago and it went away, but now its back. I am mosy afraid of complications and problems with healing. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Did you have the sleeve? My surgery is Wed, and I'm getting really nervous. Mostly of recovery and how am I going to keep track of protein if im only taking in little bits of food???? Ughhh Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I didn't have one either. I did have the blood work, h pylori test, cardio, breathing tests. My surgery is Wednesday! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm June 14, and I feel the same way!!! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm on day 5, I haven't cheated at all, but it hasn't been easy. I can only have meat and veggies, I don't like either very much. I am only taking in 500-600 cals a day. I am actually looking forward to my surgery, because at least after, I can have yogurt! Good luck, we'll make it!!!! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm June 14th. I haven't "consciously" felt nervous, but I have been having anxiety attacks the past 2 days,so I guess deep down I'm nervous. Good luck!!!!! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I was told as much meat and veggies as I want. ( They prob said that because they KNOW how much I hate it lol) Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I have eaten eggs for bfast yesterday and today, but I don't know how much longer I can donit, I'm already getting tired of them. I have a shake around 10 annd for lunch today, I had some turkey. I'll have a shake around 3 and dinner will be either meatballs or chili. I think my calories have been cut by 75%. AND I am drinking ALOT of water.

I'm only 2 days in and IT'S HARD!!! I my diet has always been 95% carbs and dairy. The most meat I ate was pepperoni on my pizza and bacon! Vegetables??? NEVER! For 2 days I have been eating meat and veggies ONLY! I am having a hard time, but I'm not cheating! The foods I USED to eat is what got me here, so I am GOING TO DO THIS!!!! I have noticed, that I am drinking ALOT MORE! I have already had 64 ozs of water today and its only 1:14 pm. Good luck to you!!!! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I wish I could come home the same day, but I HAVE to stay overnight. Good luck!! Let us know how it goes! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

My pre-op diet seems to be much different from others, I am strictly meat and veggies. No dairy or carbs. If you have the same type of diet, let me know, and I'll be happy to tell you what I did! Good luck!! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Tomorrow I start my pre-op diet. I am really nervous, but excited at the same time. My surgery date is June 14, and I am SOOO READY! I'd appreciate some prayers and good thoughts!!!! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I am scheduled for June 14. For the last few weeks, I have been SCARED of complications! But, now, since finishing all of my requirements and getting my ins approval, my worries have changed from complications to "am I going to be able to do this?" I am NOT a veggie eater (or much of a meat eater) I have lived my life on carbs and dairy, which is what got me where I am today. I KNOW I have to change if I want to be successful, and my thinking is that I am just a worrier by nature and I'm sure I will be worrying about something different in a day or 2. GOOD LUCK!!!!

I kind of know how you feel, only my pre op diet is meat and veggies ONLY. I know that seems like a dream to most people, but to me, its a NIGHTMARE! Since I was a kid, my diet has been 90%carbs (thats what got me where i am today) itcwill be a struggle for me, but we can do it!!! Good luck and hang in there, you are almost there!!!

I had my appt with the cardiologist yesterday to get my clearance for surgery. He did a cardiogram and asked a few questions. The cardiogram came back as: "looks pretty good" one question he asked me is if I get short of breath going up steps. I said no, he said never? I said, well, if I go up 4 flights I do. NOW, I have to have a stress-echo test. I am so afraid I am not going to get approved now. I wish all of this pre-op stuff was over!!!! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you. I KNOW that if I focus on the positive I would feel better. I guess one of my biggest goals is to be rid of the pain. My feet mostly, but my back, knees and shoulders also. I just want to FEEL good!!!! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app
