Ok, I went to my pre-op visit with the Nurse for 1hour then with Lori for 1hour. The pre-op diet is for 1 week and you can only have protien shakes mixed with Water and water.

So did the last meetings leave you feeling prepared? I just have this feeling no matter how much prep work, i'm still not going to feel like i appreciate the scope of whats coming.

I thought I was prepared! I found out that his sleeve patients have to be on full liquids for TWO whole months after surgery! woah.... He is taking extra caution for leaks which I can appreciate. I hope I can make it : /

That's a big concern for me. I mean, I know i'm going to have a hard time just on the preop liquid diet. i really hope my body changes enough to allow me to get through 70 days of liquid. Just the sound of it makes me worry.

What did you say!?!?!? OH NO! Nuh uh! That is very extreme. One person on YouTube had to do 4 weeks. That is long too....but 2 Months.

yep, days 1-14 (clear liquid diet) week 3-8 (Protein drinks and Vitamins) week 9 (full liquid/Blenderized and FINALLY week 10 (soft to regular foods). I suppose if Dr. Cahill extended the liquid portion it must be for a good reason. oh well...

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
