I'm so excited I can't stand it. Seems like it'll take forever for Aug. 28th to get here! I can't wait to get started on this part of my life! I have bought skinny-clothes just waiting to be able to wear them. I never buy clothes that fit me now anymore.... I bought size 8 levi's yesterday and they're soooo cute!!! Well, it's late and I've just run out of things to talk about, I'm just a waitin'...

Yes I'm scheduled for Aug 1, 2012 I'm on the liquid diet. Just Protein Shakes 4 times a day unsweetened applesauce, sugar free fat free pudding and Jello. I started getting hungry and decided to take wonton Soup no wonton and steamed broccoli and eating it for dinner it really helped. This is really mind over matter. In 1 week I lost 10 pounds

I am getting banded in august 1 but my doctor did not say anything about a pre op diet. Does it just depend on your doctor?

You may want to contact your doctor, it's unusual not to be put on a 10 day liquid only diet to shrink the liver for surgery. I was given the pre-op instructions and diet on my initial visit and again after I had my EDG with the surgeon. The pre-op diet and instructions are really important. I'm scheduled to have surgery on August 23 and will begin my pre-op diet the Sunday I return from a 7 day cruise. I have received my Unjury Protein powders and now I need to get the last of my supplies before surgery. Looking forward to starting life anew!

I was told this week the insurance company would require 3 more months of dietitian visits, which bummed me out. Then they called back about 30 minutes later and said the medical supervisor at my insurance company approved me without the additional time!!! So I go for my pre-op appointment on the 31st and the surgery is scheduled for the 17th. I am excited and nervous!!

I have to be on liquid diet for 3 days before surgery, I think it depends on your BMI/surgeon...

My surgery is August 2nd I've struggled with the physicians I have a extensive medical history and I believe it has scared them. Rather than admit that they have basically put in a road blocks in my path but I got around all of them. Now I'm in the semiliquid diet 2 weeks pror to surgery I'm nervous.

I'm scheduled for the 3rd and I am starting to have a little trouble with it. I have been put on the Optifast and I'm seriously trying to figure out if there are any other options that I can maybe mix in at certain meal times.

Good to find someone out there with my same date! What kind of diet exactly did they put you on?

        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.

      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
