March 14 here. I have a 5 day clear liquid diet prior. It's coming up so fast that it's sometimes a little overwhelming. Mostly I am fearful of not having that coping skill anymore. food is Such a HUGE coping skill in my life!!!! Maybe I'll take up painting...

March 13th in Princeton NJ. I have preop appt at hospital and surgeon Feb 14. Supposedly this surgeon does not use pre op diet on women - only on men who have generally more visceral weight. Says women's weight is not focused as much so liver shrinking not as necessary. I am doing my own pre op "try to be healthily and track diet" though and am down 10 lbs since Christmas. Perhaps March sleevers would like to friend me on MFP. My ID there is kenmj11

I am getting sleeved March 14th by Ryan Heider in NC. I am worried about the pre op liquid diet. The stuff the surgeon sent tastes pretty bad. Does anyone have some recommendations?

I'm in love with Jay Robb Protein powders.. Delicious and sweetened with stevia. I mix the orange dreamcicle and strawberry flavors with some sugar free type of fruity drink and it's delicious. Also tastes good with some milk and ice. chocolate is good too.. I also use Isopure vanilla creme zero carb .. I like a half a scoop of that in my coffee with a bit of skim milk. Also jay robb unflavored and Isopure unflavored can be mixed with your own chicken broth and it's good. when mixing with hot liquids just don't let them be too hot or the Protein powder will clump.

I love the Premier Protein shakes! The chocolate one tastes just like chocolate milk! Plus they are already made so its a lot easier than mixing your own. Good luck!

        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
