December 20th surgery date here! On day 6 of liquid diet (protein shakes, broths, sugar free jello) I want to eat my left arm but otherwise I'm very excited and optimistic! Has anyone else on the Protein shakes/liquid diet had to deal with the "ketosis breath"? YUCK!

You will do great! I was banded 1week ago today and I'm starting to get back into swing of things. I was sore some and felt like I did a bunch of sit-ups but everything went great. Being on here had helped answer a lot of questions I had and has really helped me prepare for pre and post op. I got a lot of inspiration here and excited to start this journey. Best of luck to you in your journey!

I cheated on my pre op diet yesterday. I had some beer and my xmas party and a small plate of Pasta. I have been beating myself up all day over this. I'm worried that I may have ruined my day' date=' which is Friday. If I can't keep on a goal during pre op am afraid temptations will doom me in the future.[/quote']

I had a few slip ups during my pre op diet. Do your best. It's much easier to stick to after the surgery bc your really not hungry. My surgery was wed and by my scale I'm down 12lbs! It's not easy but it will work out. Best of luck to you.

I am scheduled for surgery on the 19th. I was supposed to start my preop diet on the 6th but just got the paper work in the mail today. I was just at the doctors office on the 5th and they did not tell me anything about it!

I am also SCARED to death that my insurance is going to turn around and deny me because my psych evaluation came back and said I may need counseling to make this work. I have been through hell the past 6 months jumping thru hoops to get this far and if the insurance turns me down after pre approval I will be devistated.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this or had any problems with the psych eval and insurance before?

I am in need of some encouragment and support here. Thanks

        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
