I'm Jan 15th.... been eating like crazy over the holidays - and yes, falling into the "one last meal" trap! Tomorrow night I will have sushi "one more time", and Friday, I have Mexican "one more time". Saturday I start my pre-op liquid diet, and I have a mind-set that when I can eat regular foods again, I will eat alot smaller and healthier portions - but before.... whoa!!!!! I'm all in eating! I have a couple of friends that have been through this, and told me to follow the doctor's diet EXACTLY to be successful - so that is my plan - starting Saturday :-)!

Yes' date=' I started my preop diet on 31st and I am starving!!!! I have to do 5 Protein Shakes a day and am allowed broth and sugar free drinks. That's about it!!

Today was tough - I started w a headache, prob due to no caffeine and it turned into a Migraine but was told all I could take was Tylenol which does nothing for a migraine! I ended up taking a hydrocodone - so I hope that is ok!!

How is your preop diet going??[/quote']

Hi! I started my preop diet on dec 31 also I cheated a little I mad chicken broth but put an egg in it and made egg drop soup! Atleast it was Protein. .and the egg is super thin.

My surgery is Jan. 22! I am also guilty of eating whatever I can before jan. 8th. That's probably part of my anxiety. Ugh!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
