I'm nervous about the liquid diet. I have a really I'm portent business meeting the 2nd day. It goes all day Breakfast lunch & dinner are provided. I don't know how I'm gonna manage. They always have an amazing spread I'm hoping the have Soup & I can have the broth...

Good luck on your diets you two should do fine.

Other than that meeting Tuesday I'm excited my best friend ( who has a great figure) is gonna do the liquid diet with me to give me moral support. We'vebeen talki what shakes & Protein drinks to get. I was terrified that I cheat & because she will be doing it with me I am so pumped!!!

My best friend is doing it with me too! Boy we have a lot in common! :) don't cheat at ur meeting! U can do it! Its only one day compared to the rest of ur life! U may have to eat more than liquids, but u can still eat small portions of healthy food anywhere. I believe that, so don't punish yourself with food. That's what my therapist tells me! Its no longer a reward at this point.

That's exactly what I was thinking I might order chicken push it around the plate to act like I'm eating then bring it home to my boyfriend!! I've been eating like crazy the past few weeks. Last night we went out to dinner and I just sat there and thought I'm over it! I'm over food, I love to cook & go out to dinner but food doesn't hold that same joy as it did! I really feel I am ready for this lifestyle change.

How are the liquid diets going today???

Did your doctor tell you what a good weight range is for you? Mine said because of my height & big boobs realistically 220 is a good weight. Just wondering what yours said since we're same height same weight...

Hey waytoofat,

Congrats on being approved. I am scheduled for feb 7th. I'm so excited & nervous at the same time. I begin my diet on the 24th. I went to bariatriceating.com they have some good drinks on there. I like believe very yummy. Eas myoplex isn't bad, Isopure has an aftertaste but not terrible. I just bought like 10 different drinks and see what I like & don't. I notice the ones people recommend I'm not into different taste buds I guess.

Hopefully we can keep in touch I am also 5'11 & weigh 304.6. My goal weight is between 200-220. I don't want to get too skinny I wanna keep some of my shape and the doctor said realistically I shouldn't be under 200lbs!!!

Again good luck!!

We'll be 2 tall stallions soon!!

I am also scheduled the 7th and start the liquids on the 24th. So many mixed emotions!

Wow talking to you guys has me even more excited!!! I've been browsing the site since November and vie been waiting for my month to come up! We need to make sure we stay in touch no matter successes or failures. I have a great support system with friends and family but it's so reassuring to know others going through the exact same thing.

My pre op appointment is Friday & we're expecting snow until early that morning. I really hope it's not cancelled...

I'm on day 11 of my pre op diet and miss food but have lost 10 lbs, so yay for me! Sciatic nerve pain is kicking my ass, but I'm hoping losing weight will solve that issue. I am totally excited for Tuesday to get here! I am ready for the pain, etc! I feel great that I have done this very restricted diet for several days and can make it 14 days. I feel like I'm in control of my hunger before surgery so having a great tool after will make it even better!

I know I can do this! I think the hardest part is going to be the gas pain and then finding my "sweet spot" where I'm not hungry but still able to lose weight.

I hope all of u are excited, am happy I have u to share my feelings with, and can't wait to see ur pics this summer! Just think! We will be losing this spring and I'm planning on having the best summer ever at the pool!!!

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

      2. 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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
