Getting Sleeved On 24Th July



Recommended Posts

Today is day 1 of my 2 week pre-op diet. How ridiculous do I feel that I want to jump into a bucket of chicken and eat my way out. I can't see how I will get through another 13 days!!!! Eeekkk

LMAO!!! Too funny! :lol:

Don't worry. Yes, it is rough. But you'll make it through. If I did, you will too. Every day I was dreaming of macaroni and cheese with chicken. I'm glad to be on the other side. Hang in there!

And stay out of the chicken buckets!!! LOL!

I am on the pre-op diet as well. It is HORRIFIC!!! I wish I could get the surgery like NOW just to get off this terrible diet. Last night I cheated with a salad and said the hell with it! I just find this diet to be super ridiculous. My dr said I didn't have to do an entire 14days. He said 8-10days was fine and that I didn't have to do it exactly. According to him, the last 4-5 days are the most crucial. Either way I am still trying to finish strong and not cheat for the rest of the time I'm on this diet. Today is day 4 for me 6 more days to go and I can't wait!! Hang in there. If it makes you feel any better...You're not alone :wub: !

Well day 1 is over for me. I'm not sure where everyone is from on here. But I am Melbourne, Australia. I have banned fresh bread from the house as that is something I know I struggle with, and until I get a handle on this, it's easier to avoid. Thanks for your support everyone x

I'm on a mix of optifast/optislim the dietician didn't mind which one. I can also do 1 cup of veg or salad per day and 1 Protein. I cannot stomach the optislim Soup, even the smell is too much for me. I don't mind the shakes and the bars. I am also not used to the sound of my stomach growling. It's normally too full of food. Lollll

      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. 🤞
