Hi! My surgery is scheduled for Monday, May 6th. This pre-op diet is getting on my nerves, I'm irritable at times, but, I'm making it. When people ask me if I'm excited...my reply usually is " is an alcoholic excited to go into DETOX?"

I'm anxious.

I'm confused (about trying to cook for a family and then myself)

I'm nervous

I'm scared

BUT, I have noticed (after being on preop diet for 6 days) that my clothes are looser on me, and that gives me a feeling of affirmation that I am doing the right thing.

I worry, because I have a friend that didn't really loose much weight after hers, and now weighs more than before her surgery.

That sums it up. I'm very thankful to have found this site, and appreciate hearing from people exactly in the same place as me.

I guess I just want to look into a crystal ball and see the future. Is it worth it?

Does anyone have a goal of how much they want to lose on their pre op diet? I know everyone is different and every diet is different. Mine will be Protein Drinks and one small meal a day. I'm hoping to lose about 10 lbs a week so 20 total. Does this seem like a good goal? Just curious about what others think.

I think 15-20 lbs before surgery is realistic. I'm hoping for a 15 lb loss. I'm 6 days into my pre-op diet and have lost 8 lbs. But I do know as women we can fluctuate on a daily basis so I'm just hoping for the best in 8 days. :)

Hi everyone! My surgery date is May 6th. I am one week into preop diet. I am getting a little worried that I am eating to much. If I can't take it, I grab some fresh carrots or fresh green Beans. I feel like that is cheating? what do you think?

My surgery is set for may 7th

So far on my pre op I have felt like a failure because I keep messing up- once I ate a few bites of Pasta before realizing and I feel like I'm still eatin too much on my meal but I was happy when I got on the sale this morning to see its going down.

Original weight the day I went in was 235 (my sale said 238-240)

Pre op was two-three days into my pre op diet (the 24th) and I weighed at 236. But I forgot to weigh at home.

This morning my scale at home said 224.5 and when I checked to make sure that was right it said 223.5

Gives me some motivation that I'm doing something right :)

      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
