You are lucky you don't have to do a bowel prep! I'm just glad i didn't have to do the whole jug just 4 glasses. Funny how every surgeon has such different preps.

I get my sleeve tomorrow and I'm in a bit of a panic. I lost my info sheet that told me what to eat when. I know as of 2 days before it was all Protein Shakes and apple sauce and cream of wheat. Can I eat that today? I'm reading that people were eating only Clear Liquids and starting to freak out because I drank muscle milk this morning and was starting to drink my bolhouse coffee Protein Drink with a scoop of other Protein.

Why do I loose everything!! blurg.

What have your doctors told you to do?

I have to be at the hospital at 5:30 am. Ugh I hope I didn't mess it up by drinking Protein. I better go scour my car for the letter they gave me.

oh and I burnt my lip really bad on the chicken broth so that's keeping my hunger at bay. :rolleyes:

I'm know I'm the odd person out, but I HATE drinking Water. I actually just don't like drinking liquids at all. I could easily go all day and realize i've drank 8-12 ounces of any liquid. I think it's because I'm ADHD and forget the water is there to drink.

I guess I'll start my after surgery plan now...to set a time to go off every 5 minutes to remind me to take a sip of water. That or every-time a new song comes on my ipod I sip .

good luck everyone.

That's a good idea. What ever it takes. I don't much like Water either, but I like crystal light.There are many flavors to pick from.My favorite is tea with peach flavor.Give it

a try. Anything to get the water down Lol. I'm really excited to finally get this weight off. I think I've been on every diet and excercise program. Good luck, tomorrow!

I gag at all artificial sweeteners.

I was pretty calm about this but I just went to the grocery store and it made me sad and scared. People who are writing about how hungry they are post op are freaking me out. I really hope I'm not because I keep telling myself that after surgery I won't feel these hunger pains like I have today.

There's a part of me who wants to run for the hills and eat Italian food and never show up at the hospital. It's a very small part mind you. very small. I know I'm making the right choice for me and my son and our lives but....

I think all of us would love to run to hills for Italian food and more! :-)Right now I'm so hungry.My daughter made my family an Italian dinner, but low fat. I don't care it smelled so good, so I just went to my bedroom while they ate dinner.I know I'm making the right choice.

        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
