For me, I’m 3 weeks liquid diet, then 2 weeks puréed, then 2 weeks soft

I would have done two weeks per op, but they scheduled me in right away. So only 5 days pre op instead of two weeks.

I WISH I could have some green veggies.... I only get 3 protein shakes a day and water in between... nothing else. I would be in heaven with some veggies lol... and I have to do preop for 3 weeks! Im on Day 8 today and have lost 15 pounds.

my surgery is on the 17th! super nervous because I have tachycardia due to my POTS. any advice to anyone with similar issues?

I am going to have the VGS on the 24th. I was approved last week. I began in June. Merry Christmas to me? Ha, ha. I am on the liquid diet. I feel okay now but the first two days were hard. I am not losing like I had hope though. Even as I am walking and being super strict, I've lost around 3-5lbs (as every day it tells me something different). Was really hoping to lose 10+. So annoyed.

Also, I am getting a bit anxious now with all of covid and whatnot. Any other Christmas surgeries?

I start my liquid diet tomorrow! I’m really excited. I know that the liquid diet will be tough, but I’m ready to power through.

Who else got dizziness with the preop liquid diet? I know it’s hard at the end of the day it’s worth it.?

I just had mine on the 9th. I’m a week out!

Sam, I have gotten dizziness and I’m really tired all the time. How are you feeling Lauren? Sometimes I’m so excited and sometimes I get anxious. Ha ha.

I feel great! I expected a lot worse, honestly. My biggest struggle is staying hydrated, but I’m doing okay with it. I had a full on meltdown the night before, but it’s all been great since.

Stay with it! It will help you for the post-op diet! I’m Day 8 of post-op and trying to get the shakes in and all the fluids. Quite a challenge

I feel like that will be on the 23rd. I go from being super excited to being super anxious. I’m so committed and want this but just scared a bit about the pain after. Congratulations though! I’m glad it’s not been that bad.

I’m having my sleeve in 3 days!! I cheated a little on the 2 week diet!! Tuff that is why I’m having it!!! Food weakness!! Duh!! My friend had gastric two months ago she it went from 220 to 125 now she’s trying to gain weight due to it we both are going to Mexico in the Mexico and having us Ipaid 6800and I want to say she did not follow the 2 weeks diet and ate what she wanted,and my journey will begin in three days I will keep you informed of what’s going on and what not so far I know there’s cheaper ones in Mexico but I do recommend BeLiteWeight because it seems to be the one to pick in the meantime I will keep you informed I hated cheating a little bit but I’m starving!!!! They need my$$$ and I need the surgery lol ! Scared a bit!

Just had mine today....

Sleeve procedure on 12/17 eeek: 2 days!! I’ve really, really struggled with the liquid diet, but as much as I struggle I didn’t break down and eat solid food! Tomorrow I get the call for a time to report to the OR —and all clear liquids tomorrow no shakes or cream of chicken soup!! I made it this far, but damn I seriously want solid food!! I can’t believe it’s almost time!!!!!!!
