Started my pre-op diet a week ago today and I have been following it for the most part. I have to drink 2 Protein Shakes a day and eat 4 ounces of meat and 1 cup of veggies. I am so hungry after that but I did have my pre-op dr. appt and I went down from 269.8 to 256.4 so I guess I am doing something right lol. My doctor put me on this to shrink my liver but I am so hungry....is anyone else suffering with me lol...anyways on a brighter note my surgery date is 3/25/13 and I am super excited for this life change but super nervous at the same time!!!!!

When I did my pre-op diet I found chicken broth helped me fill up and add to my liquid intake as well. Hang in there. If you can get through this part you can do anything!!! Good luck.

Sorry to be the party pooper, but the hunger comes back. Lol. Something to prep for during the first six months by developing new habits.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
