Surgery is March 8. Started two week preop diet last Friday...four shakes, one small meal, one fruit, Clear Liquids and no sugar Jello for first week; second week all liquids. Is anyone else having difficult time? I've cheated 2x, just a little and feel so guilty. since Friday only lost .6 pound.

Mine is Scheduled for March 28. When I went in for my labs they discovered I was diabetic, but just barely as in my numbers were just over the benchmark, but im taking medicine now and ive lost 15 lbs already by not eating sugar and low carbs! Im having labs done again in two weeks to see if I can still have my surgery in March.

My diet isn't nearly as strict as I'm seeing on here. It's a 2 week diet. I was a couple days late starting due to finances. But I'm supposed to do 2 Protein Shakes and a dinner with the whole 4oz Protein, etc. I have cheated a couple times but it was eating extra protein. I'm down about 5 lbs in the past 3 days. I have switched it up and I have actually been eating the "meal" at lunch time instead of dinner. That fits my hunger pattern better.

Mine is the same as yours, by the time I get home I am starved sometimes but I have been managing it ok.

Started my 2 week pre-op diet today, 1 day late just because I wanted one last day to eat whatever I wanted!!! Did great today, it's mind over matter at this point-we'll see tho how I feel tomorrow;)

I am March 4th - cant wait!!!!

We are the same day :). This is my 10th day into the pre-op diet (for me, four shakes + unlimited nonstarchy veggies) and I was down 10 lbs this am. The diet is hard - especially since I still have to prepare meals for my kids and family - but seeing those numbers drop on the scale already sure is motivating. My efforts at dieting have never been this successful before!

Thanks I know I have a full morning planned at the dr. Next Thursday just had no clue to what would happen. It kinda makes me nervous something would cause it to be postponed. I'm ready for my day to speed along.

Just received my BCBS approval and my date is MARCH 21st, 2013!!! I'm nervous about the surgery and pain, but just trying to expect the worst and hope for the best!! Right now I am cutting out my Diet Coke and weaning myself off drinking while eating. I meet with the Bariatric nurse next week to discuss the specifics.

Soooooo excited!!!!!!!

      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.
