My sleeve surgery is on Monday 8/17 and I am freaking out. So nervous!

I am so afraid that I am going to be miserable for the rest of my life. Or inherit other kinds of health issues due to the surgery.

Thankfully, I do not have to do any of this pre-diet the rest of you are doing.

The day before the surgery I can just have Clear Liquids. But that's just one day!

@@chellebell it really depends on your surgeon. I have seen people say their doctor doesnt require pre op up to a 4 week pre op diet. Im was put on a 2 week pre op diet. You will have 10 days so i think you are okay because honestly it took me a day or two before i stopped cheating.

My surgery is also scheduled for the 25th and my surgeon only requires that I do a week liquid diet prior to surgery. So i start mine on the 18th. You also probably need to increase your Protein and Water intake if you are feeling faint. They require that i do a minimum of 5 shakes a day. Good luck to you.

Hi, everyone! My surgery is Aug 17. I've, of course, been on the preop diet for nearly 2 weeks now and it is sooo different than what a lot of you have talked about. Mine is a Protein Shake and a Protein Bar for both breakfast and for lunch, and a dinner of 5 oz of lean meats, 2 c of certain vegetables and 1 serving of fat (olive oil, mayo, etc). I can have up to 1200 calories a day, as long as I stay within the guidelines. I have stayed within the guidelines and haven't cheated at all....as very, very much as I have wanted to.

Now, when I read about people who went into surgery only to wake up and realize the doc didn't operate because the liver was too big, I get really scared. I do NOT want this to happen to me. Yikes.

May we all be total losers. :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
