Truth is, I feel like punching everyone in the face...ok not everyone, just people who are eating yummy food. Wish I could sleep until the day of surgery!

You have to get it in your head that, all that tasty yummy food is what got you to this point. Sure i would Love a giant dr pepper, and taco bell, pizza hut, and more, but I also know those are the enemy that got me to the stage where I was before surgery. Get your mind set that healthy food is the way to go.

I am dreading my pre-op diet more than anything, but I know when the time comes I will definitely get thru it, with a lot of praying of course. I also know that you can do it also. Just stay focus and try to look at the light that is waiting for you at the end of the tunnel.

the pre op diet consist of chicken breasts fish and meat, high pretein, low carb, It isnt bad at all, i had baked chicken breasts, baked fish and such, was quiet good, then 2 days prior to surgery the liquid diet begins, that was the bad part but you can still drink all the liquids you want. good luck

Take it out on a pillow! That's what I do if I really can't get out some frustration. Or on the flip side, draw yourself a bath up, relax and close your eyes and just let all of it sink out of you.

Hang in there! Not too much longer!!

Remember, a couple of months from now, this pre-op diet will be just blip on the radar. It will be over before you know it. You can do this!! :)

I wish there was actual food in my pre-op diet! Then it would be easy to get in the right mindset. 600 calories per day and 80-120 grams of protein- All liquid Is kicking my behind. I'm starving. Vent all you want! I feel the pain. I can't wait to be sleeved and not be famished. If I could do this diet for any length of time, I wouldn't be such a chub chub.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
