I'm assuming it's your pre-surgery diet. Keep in mind that the purpose behind it is to make your surgery easier - both for the surgeon, and for YOU! When you feel hungry, drink some Water instead. It can help you feel more satisfied.

Hang in there! I'm in the same boat (going thru the process). I've been trying to keep my calories between 1200-1300 and its hard when your tummy's growling!

The first few days are the hardest. Don't give up! Do ANYTHING to distract yourself from thinking about food, dieting, eating. Go for a walk, clean the house, learn a hobby, go walk the mall, get lost on Pinterest, shop for pretty smelly things, window shop at a store you can't wait to buy smaller clothes in, get your nails done... do ANYTHING to distract yourself.

It is super hard being on any diet. I think that everyone on this site can relate. Maybe you can start by cutting back on certain foods that you know you eat often, that are high in calories. Prior to surgery,I wanted to start off on a healthier mindset about food. I started with "baby steps."

I gave up french fries and ice cream. Because I ate them often, I noticed a change right away.Next, I cut down on the bread and pastas. I lost weight without struggling, or feeling much hunger, because I didn't stop eating; I just changed what I ate. I was a chronic snacker. If I can do it, anyone can!

You will be fine. Just stick with your plan, and add healthier choices. I had a lot of string cheese... Just find your go-to snack that is good and satisfying for you. And increase your Protein. 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.
