I am scheduled with Dr Garcia Nov 5th and my coordinators said I only needed a 5 day prep. I was thinking I would do the whole 14 day prep anyway though. It can't hurt to be a little lighter before surgery. Have you guys started exercising? I was wondering if cardio or weights was more important pre surgery. People keep saying it will help with recovery. Just wondering if it was referring to strength (weights) or stamina (cardio). Likely I should do both, but I currently have nerve troubles and my right arm/leg go numb when I work out, so not sure I could get both done at the same time.

Its weird how the different coordinators for the same doctors give different pre op instruction.

yeah that is weird! 5 day preop would be awesome! im on my 5th day today, and if that was the case then i would have flew through the 5 day preop diet with out the complaints! really though, the preop diet hasnt been to bad, i think im handling the protien shakes better then i thought i would! Im really wonder what Garcia has in store for my post op diet! In my packet it just says 2 weeks of liquids/soft foods e.i. sugar free pudding/jello, thin soups... but i dont know whats after the 2 weeks...

      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.
