Help! I slipped and had a few bites to eat. I had waited to long between shakes and had a few forkfuls of my daughter's dinner. Didn't even realize it! Now I'm worried I won't be able to have my surgery come Monday. I have four days left, will I be ok! Stuck to it the first whole week and lost 10 lbs. struggling with it this week.

You'll be fine. Remember the pre op diet is to help shrink your liver so try not to cheat. Also, seems all of our pre ops are different. I had to have shakes for 2 meals and one real meal of a lean Protein and all the vegetables I wanted. Also included 2 Snacks. So I found my diet to be pretty easy. Lost 16lbs. By sticking to it! Told my surgeon if only we could eat like that for the long term without the surgery! Good luck!

Yes, my pre-op diet is similar: two shakes and a lean dinner. I'm very grateful not to be on all liquids (just the last day). So if you had a few bites, you'll be fine.

i would say youll be fine-my coworker didnt even have a pre op diet to follow. im sure they told her the best things to eat and not to go crazy but she had no liquids or anything. My doctor has me on full liquids for two weeks. Surgery is monday havent cheated but so so tempting really:blink: but i want to change my life way more. Best of luck with everything and again im sure youll be fine.

You will be fine. My doctor has me on shakes and one lean Protein meal and then the last two days are liquid only. I plan to sleep through those days! My surgery is on Monday as well! Is there a group for it? Seems like there are quite a few of us!

My surgery is Tuesday. I was doing ok, but for some reason today I really want to eat! Doc has me on a 2 week liquid only diet. Lost 10 pound so far. I have friends coming in town tomorrow just to have dinner with me and a group of friends. I'm going, but it is going to be tough!

Yes that will be tough! But you can do it!! I went out with friends on Tuesday and watched them drink vodka and eat nachos at a baseball game while I had Water. It was so hard. But it's gonna be worth it!

Thank you for you encouragement, PJTaylor! I was really thinking about cheating. I went and the chef made a broth especially for me and let me take all the leftovers home! It was great seeing my friends and leaving feeling good about my choice!

      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.
