-jrodriguez68: don't give up! I'm on day 7, and yes, i'm still hungry, but I weigh myself each morning and can see that it's worth it.

I know. Just frustrated today. We had sales training classes at work today and for the next two days. I am responsible for ordering, setting up and taking down the food for lunch. it looked and smelled really yummy. I didn't have any but it made me cranky nonetheless. I'm luck b/c my pre-op diet does allow me to eat protien and some veggies with my protien shakes but it is still hard. I keep questioning if I have made the right decision. I sure hope so.

You can do this... you made the right decision and you made it through today. When you look back on today 2 months from now, you will not remember what the food smelled like or looked like... you will only be thinking about how great you feel. Drink plenty of Water tomorrow and eat your veggies slowly. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!!!

The first three days is caffeine, carb, and sugar withdrawal! I had throbbing headaches for three days! But if I did you can do it too!

I am on a high protine preop diet that is intended to help deplete the liver of its glycogen stores prior to the operation to help shrink the liver. It consist of 1000 calories a day' date=' 100 grams of Protein a day, and 2 quarts of Water. They have me drinking five 8oz bottles of Slimfast high Protein drinks and a combination of hardboiled eggs, yogurt, and cottage cheese to equal 100 grams of Protein. That is the diet they have me on right up to my surgery. Is anyone else on that type of prep diet? It doesent sound like it and I havent had any of the symptoms people have described in here during thier preop prep.[/quote']

Im on everything except the eggs! Pure liquid and protein!

I'm day one... Ugh!! 13 to go! I'm hungry' date=' tired, Moody, and all I can think is 13 more days! I may not need surgery, this may b the death of me. I spent 120.00 on different flavors hoping it will help, i'm on my 3 cup of hot tea. I was ok at work, but now that i'm home, not so much. I may have to clean and organize my whole house to stay busy. Best of luck December bandsters![/quote']

By day 4 it'll be a tad but easier! Hang in there!

      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.
