Recommended Posts

Hey' date='

I'm in Maideahead, Berkshire it's near Windsor.

How have you got in with your pre-diet? I tried mine today, it was hard sticking to 800 cals.

How much have you lost so far, I have around 220 lbs of lard to lose, how about you?

Hi Mary, I am into my 8th day on 800 Cal's, it does get easier after about 3 or 4 days. I am eating lots of salad or veggies to fill me up. I could have chewed my own fingers on the second night, best wishes, :-) Janet

diet pretty difficult! Struggling a bit and pretty scared its only 2 days away now! I'd like to lose about 100 lbs in weight in total. My BMI was 41 I've lost 14lbs since I started all this.

I'm 36, married with 2 kids age 11 & 9.

Morning Ladies,

Day two of pre-diet, it has to be better than day one! - feel more organised today for some reason.

Well done to you both, you've nearly made it, its all good. I would imagine the scare factor goes up as the day gets closer, a day nearer your dream to be fit and healthy. :)

I have read in a few places that the - pre-diet is worse than the surgery? LOL

Have a lovely day.

Hi Carly,

Welcome.

I'm Mary, 43yrs old, live in Maidenhead, Berkshire. I'm married with no children, unless you count twigs and georgie our cats LOL

I've already started my pre-op diet, its pretty tough but think I'm winning the battle now - I have my operation on the 20th, can't wait.

I want to start getting rid of my lard and have a normal life, when I don't have worry about buying clothes, sitting in chairs (and getting stuck) and finally getting in an aeorplane seat! LOL

Have you got much to lose Carly?

Take care

Mary

I wish I was on the milk diet I think I could cope better with it?! I could live on lf yogurt and sf milk jelly LOL

They've put me on an 800 cal diet, which I'm finding hard. I wonder why different surgeons have different diets?!

I have 200lbs to lose, going to be hard feel I'm up for the challenge with help from a good surgeon!

I completely get the stairs, more than 2 flights and i'm buggered LOL Oh yes, sexy clothes at looonnnnggg last LOL

Hi there!

I had my VSG surgery done on the 26th September so I'm currently 1 week and one day post op.

Good luck and don't be nervous. Think of your surgery day as the first day of your new life. I'm on the 2 weeks post op liquid diet at the moment and have lost a stone in just over 2 weeks (liver shrinkage diet + 1 week of liquids)!

Best of luck xx

      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.
