I'm not a pre op patient but I just wanted to congratulate you on your decision to get banded and wish you good luck on your journey.

My doctor did'nt really have a preop diet but I made up my own. For several months pre surgery I did Protein shakes (whey Isolate Protein powerder, made with fat free milk. Look on this site for recipes there are lots) two meals a day and a small chicken based lunch. My journey to surgery was slower than many but I lost over 50 pounds between 12/2009 and 8/2010 the time from my consult to surgery.

Sure doing liquids prior to the official liquid diet (if your doctor has one) may sound like a drag. There were people in my presurgery eating class that did a 500 calorie a day liquid diet for 3 months. I tried it for 1 week and after loosing no weight and exercising daily decided to go back to my own diet.

I lost 5 pounds in one month by just not eating fast foods.

Manda 87 amen to that. Couple years ago my office was moved from one end of the building to the other. And by building I mean 3 enormous factories that were connected to make one collosal building. I sat as far away from the cafe as you could get. After that move I started buying a Breakfast sandwich at Dunkin Donuts every day; which was also pretty expensive. I started buying low fat breakfast sandiches by weight watchers and lost probably 10 pounds from that alone.

      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.
