May Surgery Dates???



Recommended Posts

I start my pre op diet on Wednesday. Just wondering how everyone's mood is on the pre op liquid diet? I know for me on low calorie diets I get very angry and feel like crap after a few days.

FYI Tawnya, I have been a bear at times. But, one week into it now, and a little better. I was homicidal for a few minutes on Friday when I saw the pizza guy deliver a pizza next door!

I get vanilla Protein powder and use skim milk. I use 1 tbl spoon of sugar free fat free choc. pudding mix and shake it. It tastes just like choc milk. That's what I have been living on for 2 weeks. Also you can get PB2 if you like Peanut Butter and mix it in, and it tastes like a reeces Peanut Butter cup.

May 13. I start my pre op diet Monday. I have already waned my husband and coworkers I will probably be terrible to be around for that time.

I don't go to my dr until the 7th and ill try some of his shakes but since ill have a week on my own can anyone recommend any good shakes I could get at the store? Thanks good luck to all!

With everyone talking about their mood on the preop diet (and my own personal fear) I am beginning to believe that I did hide my feelings with food. Regardless of what the mood is...happy...mad...sad...I used food to either Celebrate or drown out those emotions.

Perhaps the key is journaling or letting someone know how I'm feeling. Even if its on here...better than eating that feeling. Congrats to those of you that are recognizing that they're feeling grouchy or that this is really hard...and for posting it on here.

I use Unjury (powder) shakes that you order on the internet. So far I hate the chocolate splendor (and I LOVE chocolate), the vanilla and strawberry aren't bad, but I like the unflavored mixed with crystal light the best. Good luck to you all!

Lol... I know I have been cranky several times and that's my q to take a nap. For the most part I feel better now. I still get a little emotional when certain foods are eaten around me and I know I can't have it. I totally can relate to you. I just hope after my surgery on May 1st that I don't feel so hungry, because it seems these last few days I have been feeling real hungry.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
