Yeah the first week probably not a huge deal, but just know it's not to be mean it's meant for you to be healthy. I think yes some surgeons do have a different procedure bases on different clients. My surgeon has like some of the strongest restrictions but that's what keeps his record 100% successful with no major complications or deaths. The diet after your surgery is super important to follow. Is it boring yes so much. But it's so you don't hurt yourself.
So please do all you can to keep the diet and good luck 🍀 in your progress. You can do this!

You are aware that you made a mistake and you are doing what you can to make sure that doesn't happen again. The diet is to help with liver shrinking and self control. Some surgeons require one day while others require up to a month. One mistake won't screw up the whole thing, just don't make it a habit.
Hang in there and try not to stress about it, and stick to the diet the rest of the way. ❤️ congratulations on the surgery date, by the way! ❤️

I was the same way as you are now. Pre op was honestly the worst part for me. I was on a liquid diet for 7 days pre op and I did break down and buy a few of those tuna creations pack and for a few days I would substitute that for one of my drinks. Just make sure they're very high Protein and low sugar and carbs (the flavors have different amounts). I'm not trying to tempt you, just letting you know I was there too and it ended up working out for me, I had surgery on schedule and lost 11 lbs on the 7 day pre op diet. Best of luck, hang in there.

Thanks good luck with your surgery. I’ve got seven more days

*sigh* Just grit your teeth. I have surgery tomorrow and have only managed 30grams of Protein via these awful, awful shakes today.
Some people only feel like this for a couple of days into the liquid diet. Unfortunately, l have been hungry and miserable the whole time.
Every night I have dreams of either a hard boiled egg, a plum, or a real NYC-Italian sub sandwich. I can't imagine I will eat the sub again, but I will dance a little dance when I can eat an egg, fruit and salads!

My surgery is tomorrow at 4 pm. I am a little nervous mostly excited. I think this is the first thing I have done for MYSELF in the last 20 or so years. Im 37, Started this process at 315, been working really hard and I am at 275. Not much support from my family except for a few of them. I really am just excited, and am not much of a sharer, so I felt this was a good step to share this with everyone. I hope everyone else finds themselves well in their journey!

Hi my surgery date is September 9

First of all, get back on track. I found it very helpful to remind myself that the food I couldn't have were not out of my life forever - just for a time. Tell yourself, "I can't have this now, but I will have it down the road at the right time." That being said, this is a great time to start retraining your taste buds and your mental attitude toward food. This surgery is supposed to help you get healthier - not just thinner. You have to learn to reframe your thinking - that fast food is NOT your friend, but veggies, fruit, and lean Protein ARE your friends - FOR LIFE! This is a lifestyle change, not just a weight loss plan.
I am eating healthier now that I ever have in my life, and enjoying every minute of my new food choices and lifestyle! That does NOT include sugar, soda, alcohol, simple carbs, and processed food. And I don't miss those things one bit now, as the good food is so filling and makes me feel so good. There will come the day that you can have a moderate amount of fast food - once in a while, and once you are in maintenance. But by the time that rolls around, you may not even miss it if you have learned to enjoy the better stuff. I remember my first pizza and it was NOT like I remembered - what a disappointment! Same with french fries - just a salty, oily mess that made me sick. Remember that the food industry manipulates our primal taste desires for sweet, salt, and fat. The more they can add these to foods, the more addicted they can make us to a particular product. They even add sugar and salt to foods that don't even need it, but it can trigger the addictive receptors in our brains. If you take a look at your trigger foods, I will bet they all have the deadly trifecta in some combination or another.

Hi! My surgery date is September 9th. I'm so happy to be a part of one of these threads now! I'd love to have some surgery buddies too. 😀

you're really lucky. I had two weeks of just clear, zero- or ultra-low calorie liquids and 4-5 Protein Shakes a day. I could also have a cup of broth and a cup of V8 or Tomato juice.
