I've been doing the same thing as you and having all my food funerals. A lot of people recommend not doing that, but actually I think it's been helpful for me. I've been really noticing the food that I've been eating. Now that I'm not just shoving it in, I'm finding that the sweets really don't make me feel well afterwards, and i don't enjoy them as much as I thought I would. i start my diet on July 10th and I intend to keep this in mind when I feel like I am craving carbs. I'll be thinking about you. We can do this!

The first 48 hours of pre-op is the worst. Most of the withdrawals are on the down hill after that! Good luck.

Yes, exactly! I got terrible headaches from carb withdrawal for the first 2-3 days, then I felt much better.

Its July 16th for me, scared and happy at the same time!

Good luck to us all

We'll just be a few days ahead of you, whining nonstop! :P

I didn't realize how addicted I am to Diet Pepsi! It's definitely my weakness :( I'm only required a 3 day pre -op diet but I decided to start following a high Protein diet 2 weeks pre-op to help me prep mentally. Today's only day 2!

First day and doing well. Feeling good. Almost forgot to drink Water so I'm prolly not going to get in 64 oz. But so far I feel ok. I'm spacing out my real foods with the shakes. Bfast had shake and banana. Then had my gummies Vitamins. Then another shake. lunch had half cup Beans one eighth of avocado. Worked on water this afternoon and plan to do 3rd shake if I can't wait till I get home . dinner will be steamed carrots and 3oz lean chicken or turkey for Protein. ..I can do this.

To clarify first day pre op 2 week diet

I wish I could have some real food! My doctor is super strict! I can only have broth, Jello, ice pops, and my shakes!!! I'm super bored already! Plus I hate these shakes! I'll admit I've been living off ice pops and broth ???? idk if my body is going to crash without any nutrients? His is def harder than I thought it would be ????

Try the premier Protein, they are pretty decent, not too expensive, and you don't have to mix anything.


costco sells them and online you can get them. costco.com too.

Have you tried unjury's chicken Soup flavor and unflavored Protein Powder? They are awesome. I dislike shakes, so I'm using those.

My surgery is July 13th! Started my 2 week pre-op diet yesterday. It actually wasn't terrible because I was so busy at work and it made it easier to just grab a quick shake!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
