Dec 10th for me!!!! What things are you doing to prepare for surgery? Exercising' date=' reducing food intake, Protein shake trails or just eating whatever?[/quote']

Not much right now. I just found out today that I'll be having surgery on December 21, so I'm trying to wrap my mind around what I need to do first. I have a close friend that had the surgery nine months ago, so I could probably ask her what I should be doing but right now I have no idea.

I'm exercising, eating smaller portions, and getting my mind ready for the 2 week liquid diet by having full liquids one day a week and increasing every weeks. By pre op diet liquid phase I will have my mind right.

I've been eating less and trying to eat healthier. I walk on a treadmill and ride a stationary bike some days. I need to start doing that everyday. I haven't been told whether I need to go on a liquid diet before surgery.

That's a good idea. I am going to try that!

One thing my friend suggested was to get used to taking small sips of Water instead of gulping. It will take a long time to get used to not being able to guzzle a whole can of soda or water. And to also test out or get some samples of Protein Drinks but not get attached to anything because your taste buds will change after surgery.

I'm going to add that to my prep. Good tip TheCurvyJ :-)

My surgery date is December 6th - it is very interesting to see that other people have not been given pre-op diet instructions either! I did buy a food processor and a juicer, so I can juice some veggies after surgery for the Vitamin benefit - I have heard from friends that veggies are the hardest to fit in post-op because most are low in Protein and high in bulk, so you don't have "room" for them. Otherwise, I have ASPIRED to walk more and eat less, but honestly, all I've done so far is do too much work in preparation for being off! :blink:

I have to complete a 10 day liquid diet. That's all I know for now but I haven't received the big pack o' info from Dr A's office. I'm not planning on being too crazy with anything until then.

      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
