My surgery has officially been scheduled for May 17th. I start my pre-op diet on May 3rd. I am very excited. Did any of you have a "last Meal"? My dietician told me that she didn't reccomend it because I will be getting food back, but I feel I want to have one last really good meal before I start the liquid diet.< /p>

Thanks, Michelle

Oh yes... I had several "last meals" :) I ate all of my favorites the week before my liquid diet... but I tried not to over do it with any one meal. I know they say you get to eat again one day... its just hard to imagine with all of the restrictions being put on you! But we just have to have faith! Good luck with everything! :D

Hi Everyone

Im all booked in too. I had an endoscopy on Wednesday and the band is booked for the 26th I felt like a stalker requesting for a call incase someone has a change of circumstance and they can fit me in sooner.

Ill be thinking of you all and cant wait to undertake this journey with you all. Kim

I have gone through all the steps and am just waiting for the insurance to approve. I am hoping to be banded in May (end(. I am excited to see the changes, but a bit nervous at the same time.

I did the first part of my shopping today. Got some Protein Shakes to start trying, picked up some blender bottles, some sugar free Jello, and some crystal light. I want to start getting use to my new way of eating so I'm going to start my pre liquid diet diet by doing a shake for Breakfast and lunch then having dinner. I still need to pick up a blender. I just can't settle on which one to get. I also picked up gummy vitamins and Gummy Fiber supplements. Any suggestions on the blender? I'm stuck between the magic bullet, the ninja, and the oster my blend. Thx for the help.

My date is May 11. So excited. I only have to do the liquid diet for three days prior to surgery. I almost feel guilty. Two weeks has got to be tough, I know three days will be. My doctor said its to shrink the liver so it makes the surgery easier for him and keeps the liver out of the way. I'm sure by May 10 the nerves will kick in. I'm only scheduled to be out of work for a week, based on what their office has told me. I hope I'm not pushing it.

My surgery is set for May 10 in York PA with Dr Monk. I am very excited. But this 10 day pre op diet is..........not fun.

2 more days for me. At this point, it kinda seems unreal, like it's not really gonna happen.

      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.
