I am getting banded on December 7th. I have mixed feelings about the whole process but I am determined to see it through. Haiting the liquid diet!!! The shakes are so awful and I am finding it very difficult to choke them down. I have resorted to one egg a day in place of one of my four shakes. I also don't mind the chicken Soup but beyond that I struggle. I am wondering what happens if you don't follow the diet completely?

Hi I am also getiing banded Dec 7th! I am so excited! Although i do question it all the time! Where are you having your surgery! The liquid diet was horrable the first couple days especially over thanksgiving! But its getting easier! I kinda like my shakes. I have cheated a couple times!

I am trying to be really strict on the diet since the date is getting closer. I don't want food in my system when I am trying to recover nor do I want to have problems being constapated after surgery with a sore stomach.

My surgery is in Spartenburg, SC. I think once we make it past the first two weeks, it should hopefully start to get easier.

I am also getting banded on December 7th! We need to be friends, ladies! My doctor isn't as particular. He says two shakes a day and then one sensible meal. I can only do one shake and two sensible meals. I am a teacher and I get extremely light headed if I do not eat. :( I am getting really excited but I have some major negativity surrounding me. I hate the negativity because it is making me more nervous. I wish it was Tuesday right now!!! I'm ready for a major life change.

      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
