Right there with you ladies I started my pre op diet yesterday. Had a head ache most of the day but I kept telling myself it was my body ridding itself of the toxins. My day is scheduled in Salisbury Md with Dr. Sofronski on 8. 21. So excited!!!

Good luck!!!

I start my 2 weeks tomorrow. If y'all don't mind my asking' date=' what products are y'all using for Meal Replacements?[/quote']

I have 1 week no fat diet, then monday I start the full liquid (surgery 8/27). So far I've been making a Protein shake for Breakfast. It's the Body Fortress whey from Walmart. I like to add imitation banana extract to the vanilla or strawberry. I also bought coconut and root beer extract (root beer float when mixed with vanilla- yum).

I'm on day three of a seven day liquid diet. Not too bad so far, though I've been going to the bathroom every two hours because of it!

I'm on day 8 of my 2 week liquid diet. Surgery on the 21st. It's mostly fine but being around the smells of food or people totally grubbin in front of me is hard. Sometimes I just have to waaaaaalk away ;)

I don't start my 2 week preop diet until 8/21. My surgery is Sept 4th at University of Maryland Medical Center w/ Dr. Mark Kligman. The approved the Protein mix that I've been using for years, so that's great! It actually taste good. I use Dymatize. Piña Colada is my favorite so far. Yum!

      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
