I am on Day 9 of Pre Op diet, I still get hungry and it is still hard. I think it is both physical and mental. The not chewing part is weird to me. I guess because I am so used to chewing it feels weird not to chew. I feel different. I think your body goes into some sort of weird place after 9 days of no real food:). My job is ordering BBQ take out today since it's payday. I'm usually the first one to place an order and when I declined, people asked was I OK? LOL. Little do they know!!! Went to Pre-op appt yesterday lost 7 lbs in a week. March 13 can't come soon enough. I also get gas easier now. I have heard ppl are very gasey after being sleeved. Do you think the pre-op diet has anything to do with the gas? Good luck to everyone being sleeved today and speedy recovery to all March sleevers!!

I just found out I have to be at the hospital at 6 am tomorrow! I'm the first case, and surgery is at 7:30! WOW!

Good luck! It's nice to be first. Best wishes for a complication-free surgery and quick recovery!

Im not on a liquid diet, its just high Protein low carbs. I cheated ONE time a few days ago but I had lost since then and it was VERY small amount. I decided for these last few days I am just going to do clear liquid and hope it gets me where I need to be by Tuesday.

I'm on a liquid diet (600 - 800 cal and 80 grams protein and I've lost 5 pounds in a week but hit a stall as well. Its so frustrating that you aren't eating and STILL not loosing. Good luck to you.

I think a lot of the protein powders lack Fiber so that may be why the stall. I add my Body by Vi weight management powder in with my other Protein Powder to give it the missing fiber in addition to adding a little bit more protein to the shake. I've lost 5 lbs since Wed. Oh and got my PCP to scribe me Xanax b/c I'm a nervous wreck! Tuesday can't come soon enough! Think i'll go fake bake...lol...it's 50 in Fla today. A tan always makes me feel better! Hugs & prayers to everyone going through this new journey!

Just a suggestion to the pre op liquid dieters... my nut told me I could chew sugar free gum (no swallowing).

what does the pain feel like? ... c section ..gall bladder remove al?

I had a c section 3 years ago a full hysterectomy a year ago and this pain is just different and it isn't as bad at al!!!!!! And this coming from a complete baby!!!! My pain was intense but I think I was all gas pain. Something I didn't have with other surgeries. Also my nurse was not on top of getting my pain meds. I should have been every 6 hours and I was lucky to get them every 7-8. Good luck

      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.
