I'd jump up and down with you, but my tummy doesn't want me doing that yet :) When you meet with your surgeon and/or dietician they will let you know what type of pre-op diet you should be on. It varies quite a bit. I had to do one week liquid diet. You just take it one day at a time and you'll be there before you know it!

Congrats!

I know exactly how you feel because I just got approved too! My surgery date is April 2nd and I've been trying for over a year to get approved so I'm so excited and nervous at the same time as well..My doctor doesn't require a pre-op diet so I'm glad about that...Good look to both of us, keep us posted on how you do and so I will know what to expect! LOL..

I'm happy for you. Same day as mine! :). Doing 2 Slimfast and 2 Slimfast Snacks and small dinner each day for 2 weeks before. Already did samplings of Liquid Protein. Found a great deal - do one whey Protein bullet (42 grams protein and $2.87 at Walmart) and add to bottle of Water. Be sure and get at least 65 grams of protein per day after diet. I know someone who had surgery in November 2012 and is losing hair because she isn't getting enough protein. Good luck!

Did your surgeon say you have to do a pre-op diet? My surgeon says it isn't necessary so I'm lucky about that..Good luck, you can do it! Just keep telling yourself it will all be worth it..

My surgery is next wed march 6th I have to do 2week preop and have cheated a few times but still down 7 lbs and hope to be down 10 before wed. I have 70 -80 to lose and will be the size I was in my 20s! Just want my pre diabetes and hypertension to go away and extend my life as much as possible. The benefit of thinness is something I haven't felt for over 30 years. I am so anxious to be done and healed and watch the scale go in the right direction.

Congrats to those who posted about their surgery approval today! So happy for you!, my best friend was sleeved in July of 2011 she lost 140 lbs total-about 28 pre surgery. She looks and feels wonderful!

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
