Liza. I am on the two Meal Replacement diet, and I cheated too!!! Almost everyone I have spoken to has cheated! I am at my moms, and she's in the kitchen cooking bacon and homemade muffins! I want some so bad but I'm not going to do it! I may have an egg though, and skip my cottage cheese and fruit! Its harder than I thought!!! And I thought I was really prepared and psyched up to do this! Its hard to change over night ya know! Don't beat yourself up, just start over and keep on going! Won't be long now!! My surgery is July 10th! So ready!!!

Hello Laura, I am on day 3 pre op and I have not cheated yet. It has been rough. I started drinking a Protein Shake for Breakfast only about a week before my pre op actually started in hopes that things would be easier (wrong). I will survive!!! Good luck to you, I get sleeved on July 9th.

Are you finding that the Protein shakes are watery?

I got my shakes from my doc.it was 30 for powder that lasts two weeks and u mix it with Water.it does taste watery though i guess for that fact im using water.i would have preferred the shakes made already

I'm on day 4 of the liquid diet. 4-5 meal replacement shakes/day. and 64 oz of Water, broth or Jello. It's hard! And I've been sluggish. Hoping it gets better and that I feel better. Very low energy.

i'm using Bariatric Advantage, and doctor said I could mix it with skim milk or FF soy milk. It helps!

I was on 3 shakes a day and sf Jello or popsicles and I did not cheat. Use the time wisely to keep busy, clean out your closets, prepare for surgery, up your Water intake, take walks. Day 3 & 4 were hard. If you used to be a pop or coffee drinker, many of your issues may be caffeine withdrawal.

If you cheat you are only cheating yourself and since you are going into such a major life-altering surgery try finishing this time out giving 100% dedication.

It's not easy, but nobody said it would be. Have faith in yourself that you can do it and go into this the best you can. If you cheat, dust it off and then realize you need to put in 100% effort.

You can do it.

      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.
