I have 1 more week and I will soon be sleeved!! So pre-op diet has been pretty good to me. My doctor requires a 14 day liquid diet and I am halfway there! Today is day 8 and surgery is next Thursday! So excited and starting to get the nervousness feeling at the same time.

So far from last Friday at the preop appt I have gone from 230 to 223! liquid is my friend and I will prevail this preop diet!

Thanks

Nicole

Best wishes the pre op diet is the worst. I had surgery yesterday and am sore but not hungry anymore at all. Much easier to do post op. Hang in there your turn is coming! No regrets here.

My surgery is Tuesday (Jan. 31). Fortunately, my center only requires seven days of liquids so I'm three days in. I'm not hungry, but feel kind of weak (like a zombie). Did you get that feeling? I'm glad its only seven days because I don't think I could keep coming to work like this!

I'll have surgery two days ahead of you... If I can I'll try to let you know how it went ASAP! I'm very nervous, so hopefully passing on my experience can alleviate nervousness for others!

Thanks Diva honored to join you all!

My surgery went picture perfect. Woke up with a bit of nausea they have me meds for and it immediately went away. I was in pain but they gave me some meds anger I was fine. Really not too much pain just really sore belly and the gas issues but again not too bad. I got very nervous that last day, but it couldn't have gone smoother.

Hopefully I will be discharged tonight and I do feel ready to go home. You'll do great!

What about some salads; tuna, chicken, ham or egg salad? Is that soft enough? You can also try potted meats, deviled meats and Vienna sausages { they come in original, chicken, barbecue and hot}. They are all very soft. Just a thought :0)

I did feel like a zombie for the first couple of days. After that I actually feel ok. Just getting anxious. Good luck to you!

      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.

      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.
