Hello,

My surgery date is 12/12/12. I did my pre-surg registration this week. One more nutrition class and a meeting with my surgeon two days before on the 10th. Today is the 2nd day of my liquid diet. It's not as bad as I thought it would be because I try not to think about it. I know it will get harder. I had to help set up a banquet last night. Soooo hard. But I did it. Good luck to you.

Hi, My name is Aly and I Live in central Florida. I have the same surgery date as you, but in Tampa, FL with Dr. Lee Grossbard. I am wondering how you are doing on your pre-op liquids and what are you drinking? I weighed in at 290 lbs. before starting the liquids, have you lost any weight on liquids? I would like to correspond with you as sort of a buddy if it's ok with you!

I am Dec. 14th also. I am getting nervous but know this is a piece of cake. I had the gastric bypass 9 years ago and I struggled with recovery. I had a friend that had the lap band and my dad has also and their recovery was quick and speedy. We will both do great! Good luck!

Had mine Thursday and I also had Tomato Soup with skim milk today. No Protein in it but it was filling and dee lish! I had my Protein Shakes, too, and I despise them already. I know I gotta do it and I will do it but I don't like to do it. I can't wait til I can have tuna fish.

Saw the doctor today, he went over what to expect in the hospital. Tomorrow I go to the nutrionist and she will tell me about my pre op diet that will start on Friday. On my way!

        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
