I am here with you!!! I am SO NOT perfect! I am on a 30 day pre op diet!!! IT SUCKS! I am frustrated.

It seems that I slip up easily!! The other day was the biggest..... I had a torilla' date=' it was small 5 inches. BLAH!!! Today I had a bite of Pirate Booty, that my daughter was having and coffee!!! What gives? Isn't this like asking a cocaine addict not to use, when its sitting in the cabinet? Hard to give up food when its in the kitchen!!! Right?[/quote']

I took all of my 'temptation foods' out of my house, literally and boxed them up and put them in the garage or gave them away. It's helped quite a bit. We aren't perfect, just take it one meal at a time and drink lots of fluids (my choice is to always add crystal light) stay strong! We can do this!!!

I had a few slip ups and a few guilty pleasures (a tiny strip of pepperoni French bread pizza). I still managed to lose 45 pounds and surgery went off without a hitch! Don't get down on yourself. Each day is a new start! You can do this!

Hello,

Thank you for the support!! I hope to do this too!!!! I have don't any of my fav foods around. But it seems i have adapted to eat food that my daughter eats. She is only one so its not much, but tempting none the less. It's hard!!!!

Thanks for the encouragement. I really need it!!!

Best,

Sannah

Yesterday I got in about 70 oz of Water and Tylenol or ibuprofen...I feel a little better today...well hopefully the headaches are less today. I talked to my NUT and she said try an small apple or a fat free low carb yogurt in the evening to help. I didn't do that but the Tylenol helped.

Had my preop visit w surgeon yesterday and he said all is on track and good to go, 2 wk countdown begins!!! :-)

Okay' date=' so I am on day 11 of my 28 day pre op diet and (pardon my swearing) the **** is hitting the fan! Yes, I really want this, yes I know the deal with the liver, but no, I have not been perfect. I emailed one of the medical assistants at my surgeon's office who had the sleeve within the last year and all she could say was to get back on track. No admitting she herself struggled or cheated a little. I need someone who gets it! I am HURTING. I literally start hurting in my stomach and shaking. At that point, I have to grab a spoonful of Peanut Butter to calm my system down. I have 3 small children and I am home alone with them during the day. I simply can't afford to pass out! I really feel like I will. The medical community just says to stick to it but what about when this happens? Someone help please. I have lost 22 pounds already but I need to get to 35. I don't want to mess this up but I don't want to pass out either. This is sucking so bad. I just don't have anywhere to t.u rn and I'm frustrated!![/quote']n

I am to start my 14 day preop diet on Monday the 19th. I am sooo scared! I've tried a trial run and was miserable. I relieved to see that I'm not alone. I will be on day 4 on Thanksgiving : /!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
