From one Gary to Gary, you will do fine. The eating habits you learn on the pre op will reward you after surgery. Find the things you like now, so that you can revisit them when you have those times, when the needle on the scale gets stuck.

This might be a dumb question, but on the pre-op diet since you are allowed to have as much broth as you want, do any of you think that egg drop Soup would be okay. It is mostly broth with just a little bit of egg in it. Or even buy the packet to make it and don't put the egg in it. I bought some packets of broth that are sodium free and they aren't too easy to get down.

Gary,

I work at a hospital and when it was lunchtime I AVoided the all together . We have an outdoor sitting are up by ICU and I would go up there and drink my shake. That was the only way I could do it at work ..good luck- you can do it!

Day 1 - 3 shakes and a meal. Missed 1 shake was suppose 2 have 4 shakes. Still working on the last 16oz of Water. Small headache but doing OK. Not hungry' date=' which os good.[/quote']

My preop diet was three shakes a day and Water and that was it. By the second day I had a headache and was nauseated so I just went to bed after work. The old saying goes "this too shall pass" at least there was an end in sight! It's flipping your body into a metabolic state that will aid in jump starting your eating and helping to shrink fat around your liver to make your surgery easier. Good luck-you can do it!

That's because you have dropped your carb intake significantly! Great job!

      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. 🤞
