Started my pre-op liquid diet today for surgery next Friday the 19th. I also have a cold kicking my butt so it hasn't been pleasant for today! I am going to print a blank calendar and sketch out my clinic's meal plan for afterward. The information is swimming in my head and I need to see it clearly mapped out for me!

I also had Dr Kim & was on the 2nd. Yes! The first 24 hours were the worst, the rest has been a breeze for me thank goodness. I'm on the full liquids till the 22 & I'm going with the "if it goes through a strainer" I'm eating it. Do you add Protein to your Soups? I just made cream of mushroom with roasted garlic & added a scoop of unflavored Unjury protein, helps bulk it up a little. I've been drinking tons of crystal light green tea & peach tea. I might be starting to slosh when I walk :/

On another note...we have to do another swallow test?? Ugh!

Yes but only the barium swallow which is nothing compared to what we did at the hospital. I am not drinking fluids like I should be..never been much of a Water drinker. I set a timer on my phone to remind me.....need to push those fluids.

Hello all. I just came home today from the hospital after being sleeved on Monday. All went well and I feel great but the "head hunger"has set in today. I am getting in my liquids and trying to distract myself. Any and all advice welcomed.

Are you getting in the full 64 oz and your Protein? I came home today too and there's no way I can get in all of my protein right now. I'm close to getting all of my fluids in.

Yes this test was MUCH better! I feel so much better that the staples are out. Can't wait to sleep on my sides & not worry about them tonight.

      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. 🤞
