I agree with VAngel. The pre op is just as important as the post op diet. Neither are easy but they won't last too long.

Congrats on your date! I know how excited you are, I was just there not too long ago. :lol0:

Thanks everyone, I am still very excited, but with a twinge of nervousness:001_unsure:. My only concern now is how will I get al the fluids and Protein in throughout the day because I am a nursing student and spend most of my time between classes, clinicals, and work! So, I am just trying to devise a plan to get everything in!!!

Just do the best you can - there's no way I got in all my liquids and Proteins the first 2-3 weeks following surgery -- just be sure you always have a bottle of Water or liquid with you and sip, sip, sip whenever and as often as you can. I also suck on alot of ice cubes, especially at work.

i'm in the same boat hunny!!!! mines is the 25th i'm a boat of nervousness.

The nervousness/excitement/doubt/fear, etc. is normal and everyone goes through it. You'll both be fine!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
