This liquid diet has been an eye opener, y'all! Writing down everything I "eat" has been interesting, too. Just 8 more days of this and then I'm BANDED!! <<sigh>> I'm glad because this 'all liquid' thing is tough!! No cheating though which amazes me!! :grouphug: Anyhoo---just wanted to say to other people on the liquid diet------ if I can do this, anyone can!! Just hang in there!! You can do it!!

im getting a little nervous. Ive been on the pre-op diet since last thursday and today I went to have my last appointment wiht the surgeon before my surgery and I only lost 4 pounds. I know that the liver shrinking diet isnt for losing weight, but now he wants me to lose 8 pounds by my surgery and i am worried that its not going to happen.

also during my appointment, he couldnt feel my liver. I am wondering about that. Are they supposed to be able to feel livers. I am worried that it is too big and they wont do the operation.

Way to go!! That is the best possible attitude -- you're going to do so well with the band! :) Just wanted to tell you to write down your measurements and take a bunch of before photos if you haven't yet. You will want them later! :eek:

Best wishes,

Catherine

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
