Agreed! I started Wednesday, which was a few days earlier than I needed to. Yesterday (well it's still my today since I work nights) was rough! I was finally satisfied by some beef broth. I find the warm liquids make me feel more full. Anyone else getting that?

I'm not till Sept 25th. Hate how busy my Dr is that Sept 25 is the earliest open date! I haven't been put on any liquid diets yet but I decided to try a modified one to get me started. Protein Shakes and Water all day and sensible dinner. What a b***h I've become until dinner time! Headaches and omg I'm moody! How do you get around this? Going back to teaching in a few days until my surgery date. I can't be a b***h to my students. My 3 and 5 year olds are driving me nuts! Any advice?

Sounds tough! I feel like I am the luckiest person ever bc my doctor only requires a 1 day liquid diet. I wish I knew what to tell you. One thing I would try is an energy drink that is sugar free or super low in sugar (if those are allowed, but should be). And, make sure it's an energy drink with B Vitamins bc this will greatly improve your mood. I drink Spark energy drinks from advocare. My husband and I like the fruit punch and it mixes in Water so it has flavor plus gives you amazing energy. If you do order, order the canister bc it is cheaper and lasts longer. I do a spoonful and a half every morning and every afternoon. Add to water bottle, shake, and drink. I did have some samples I could have mailed you, but I've given them all away. I have to order another canister of that and the Meal Replacement shakes today bc we are out. I use both and love both. The only energy drink that works for me (and is sugar free so my husband can drink bc he is diabetic). Also, these are the only meal replacement shakes I can stomach and are approved by my nutritionist. Weblink below.

Sept 25th will be here before you know it. I'll try to keep posting as I go through everything and you can keep me posted as well. Good luck going back to school. I bet it'll 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. 🤞
