Hi my name is Brooke, I am new to site and group. My surgery date is May 18, and I am pretty nervous but excited too! I have been trying to get on site for a while now but I have only been able to read.

 

I started my 14 day pre surgery diet and liver detox. I went on May 3rd to weigh in and I was 308.6. I have been on a liquid diet and today I weighed myself and I was 299. I start the liver detox part of it tomorrow. Wish me luck. I am supposed to be drinking some Protein Shakes but I have only managed to get one and a half down. I dont like them they are very bad tasting I had to hold my nose to get others down. I hope I am getting enough nutrients.

Welcome Brooke! I'm may 18 too... As far as the shakes try Premier Protein from costco or SAMs . They have 30g of Protein and 1 g of sugar. Hard to believe they taste so good.

Thanks and good luch on your surgery. The ones I am supposed to be drinking I got from dr. Not sure if he would allow me to use something else. They are very strict but the ones I have are from arbonne, vanilla flavored. I hate vanilla these are too sweet or something. I tried mixing them with one of the cups of yogurt light Im allowed to have but its still pretty bad.

Well hang in there! I bought some unflavored Unjury to put in my broth. That has helped to get the Protein in and I'm loving my sugar free Popsicles ! Can you eat the fage Greek yogurt and add sugar free strawberry preserve. My nutritionist told me to have that during this phase. Taste good to me, gives me the feeling like I'm eating- I need to chew!

Hello !

My surgery was May 14th. Banded plication, hernia repair, and gall bladder removal. It was a breeze. So much easier than I expected it to be.

Today is Day 4 on my doc's plan. I can have full liquids. I'm still just doing Vitamin waters and sugar free popsicles. I did put cream in my coffee this morning. I am not really hungry and my doctor says you really don't need to eat for a week..it will jump start your weight loss and speed healing of the plication.

Congrats to all the newbies and best wishes to all the soon to be !

Nita

        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
