Working my booty of to get all preop testing done. I'm aiming for March 7th, 2013. I teach HS so that would give me 9 days off during Spring Break. I've been bugging everyone to get on the ball with testing! My sleep study is scheduled for Monday. They are scheduling the Upper GI, Stress Echo, and nutrition counseling for later this week. One month supervised diet follow up on Feb. 23.

Surgeon said to start Pre-Op Diet 2Weeks out. that would be Feb. 21. That's Thursday. do I go ahead and start?

What kind of pre op diet are you on..I am just curious because everyone seems to have something different.. I am 3 weeks of liquids..and its tough..but the prize at the end is worth it..good luck to you

Hi pammie37

I'm on 2 weeks Protein Shake diet, I can have 3 shakes a day and 2 cups of veggies/salad.I can also have diet jelly and diet soft drink. Today is my second day of the diet n so far so good, of course I'd like to be eating yummy foods all day long , but let's face it that's what got me in this position to start with.... Lol

So you've already started the liquid diet, keep strong, soon you will be in your skinny jeans!

Keep me posted on your progress :)

Surgery date March 5. Just ended my first full day of liquids plus one "small meal" (whatever that means.) So it's only now that everything is starting to hit me hard. I am skeptical. I have gone so many years of my life without being able to control my bad eating habits that I just wonder if this is even going to work. I am getting the operation done at the same hospital that I work at and my big mouth brother, who also works there, has told a few people about what I'm getting done. My department is 99% male and I'm a little uncomfortable and don't really want to talk about it. But there you have it, now everyone knows whether I like it or not. I also just weighed myself last night and I have gained 10 pounds or so over the past month which is freaking me out.

This is my last chance. And I'm scared. But I'm not scared of the operation by any means, I'm scared of this big change I have to make in my life. I also wonder if I'll ever, ever be able to eat vegetables, salads, fruit, and all the other stuff that I really hate, let alone grow to enjoy them. But I have to try, I have I do this.

Whatever.

Miss Fae, if this is going to work for you, you seriosly need to change your outlook. Dont think of anyone else but yourself. You are doing this for yourself. Who gives a rip what anyone else thinks. You are worth this and will do fantastic if you have a good feeling and have self compassion. I haven't even started my liquid yet (tomorrow is day one for me YAY) and already I am on cloud 9. I took a big step yesterday and informed my office of 7 what I was doing on March 7th. It was a breakthrough moment for me. Prior to that I was embarrassed that I was going this route, but after I said it, it was like I grew taller. This is my life and I am making it better for my family and myself, but mostly for myself. If they can't handle it, well then they must be jealous that I have the guts to do this.

Give yourself a break girl, smile all over yourself, and enjoy the new you as it emerges over the next year. Don't let anyone bring you down, least of all yourself. Be super proud that YOU made this decision. Good luck Sweetie.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
