I'm looking for a band buddy too. I have all the same pre-op diet questions. My surgery is scheduled for the 13th and had the opportunity to change to the 7th but my daughter's dance recital is that Sat and I dont wanna be sick. I have to start my diet on the 29th so this weekend I will enjoy a steak.

My surgery date is May 5th .. three days after my birthday so this is my gift to ME!! Yaaaaay ME! LOL.

I have finished all my pre-op tests. On 4/26 I will meet with my nurse caseworker, dietician, and will also talk with the surgeon and the anesthesiologist. HOWEVER, after reading all the other post on here.. I'm wondering why i don't have a date to start my pre-op diet? My original date for the meetings with the surgeon and dietician were on April 12th but they called and changed it to the 26th. Did they forget to tell me when to start my pre-op diet? I have no idea what to eat or not to eat prior to surgery?? Super Excited.. getting nervous

My surgeon hasn't mentioned anything about a pre-op diet to me but I have a pre-op appt a little before two weeks of surgery..so I might find out then..

Maybe you want to call them and just double check?

Good Luck!

Had my pre-op appt yesterday! Surgery is scheduled for May 3rd at 7:30 am!!!

Now I am just scared about the whole having surgery thing. I have never had surgery before.

Pre-op diet is going ok...still hungry, Isopure is the only one I can stomach, but I still suck it down. And I know after surgery I have to sip slowly. But if I can do this I can do anything. Oh and I lost 14 pounds in 5 days!!! Although I am sure some of this was Water weight as I also started my cycle. But was super excited to see that!

I just got my surgery date today which is May 3rd. I was excited and nervous prior to getting a date, now it all seems surreal to me. I am in total shock that this is finally going to happen. Good luck to all the May bandsters! :smile:

I start on the 30th. Not sure what it consists of yet, but I have an appointment with the clinic next week, so I'm sure they'll cover it all then.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
