Did ur surgeon put u on the 2 week liquid diet? ?? If so how are u doing???

I have a high BMI. Not sure exactly what it is. I started September 4 on a shake and Water only liquid diet...I have had slip ups..but healthy ones (a piece of roasted chicken, small salad). I started at 280 lbs and am now 263 (17 lb loss). The first 3 days are the hardest..after that smooth sailing :)

October 3rd!! I just went for my pre-admission stuff and got my post-op diet today. I get soft foods after 3 weeks and stay on soft foods for 3 weeks. On the first day of week 7 I get real food (which happens to be the day before thanksgiving!)

I had my pre-op appt today too and my surgery also is on 10/3. I hadn't done the math yet so it's good to see when thanksgiving is. What time is your surgery - mine is 11:00 pacific time.

My surgery is at 8:00 am eastern time. I hope to be up and walking and sipping Fluid when it's time for your surgery! We are going to do great!

      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.
