Most of u are probably on to your week two, congrats. Im on day 3 tomorrow. My head. This sucks. But I can do it!

yes you CAN do this.......the first 4 or 5 days is the hardest....detoxing from the chemicals....you realizing what head hunger is vs really being hungry...you are this close......once you realize you can do this, the rest will fall into place...hang in there :)

I am on day 7. I was so craving a hamburger yesterday that I sat in the parking lot of McDonald's for 20 minutes. Then I drove away drinking a Protein shake. If I never see a shake after post op stage I couldn't be happier.

Lol! There is a burger king around the corner from me! And a popeye's. and a McDonald's. so much food. My pre-op allows for 2 cups of veggies per day. I am 100% certain i probably had 6-8 cups tonite for dinner:-( but i stayed stong and only ate steamed veggies. My pot at the end of the rainbow is sept 6- puree day! i've been dreaming of pureed meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Literally, dreaming!

I too am on my 7 day pre-op! I am VERY hungry!!!! My head hurts and all I think about is food that il never be able to eat again! I've done well but it has been very hard and I've lost 5.5 lbs. My band date is Aug 20 and I can't wait! My pre-op diet is 3 shakes a day 3oz of Protein 2 cups salad greens and 1/2 cup veg twice a day. I'm trying but it's so hard.

I had a huge headache after a few days but then it died down..funny thing is I did good on my pre op diet until the day before my surgery when I decided to eat just a spoonful of the sloopy joes that my mother had fixed....bad move....THAT gave me an even bigger headache. I started my journey weighing 317. I was just banded today and was down to z85! Im feeling pretty good

      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.
