You and I will need to keep each other on track. "Just say no to the burger." LOL. Just think about next Monday. Then we won't even want a burger for a while.

I can't wait for that feeling. I'm tired of feeling hungry all the time. Stay strong, 5 more days!!

Anyone else on a liquid diet retaining Water? My ankles are swollen and I weigh more than I did last week. I low I have to do this diet for the surgery, but I was hoping to lose some major pounds also.

This makes me frustrated and a little afraid that my body will not lose weight.

I am on day 3 of this pre-op diet. Today was the toughest. Attended a seminar and the smell of the hotel preparing lunch was distracting. Good thing I brought my chicken both and I made it through lunch.

On the pre-op diet since Friday and lost 20 pounds! This can't be normal! I am actually worried that I'm losing too fast. I was hungry the first few days and now, I only get hungry just before it's time to eat. Anyone else have this happen?

My surgeries October 22nd and I'm starting the pre-op diet on Monday ... Just bought 100% whey Protein Shakes today and will be getting pure Protein from costco ... I'm strictly on liquids... I see some other people eating veggies and chicken... I wish!! That's what I eat already.... I'm worried about working out on the pre-op diet... Not sure I'll have enough strength or energy with just liquids.. although it's high protein shakes

I am having my surgery on Oct. 18. I just started the two week per-surgical diet today..finding only slightly intolerable. Mainly because of the removal of coffee. I so miss it and have a headache from it. But just keep thinking it will be worth it.

        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
