Milk and yogurt!! I'm jealous I only get clear liquids: broth, sf popsicles, h2o, and the Protein shakes.. but that's only 5 days before..Ive already started switching out Breakfast and lunch for Protein Shakes though.. next week I'll be weening myself off caffeine...getting ready mentally I guess..i figure baby steps will be easier then cold turkey:)

Previous poster, i too get nervous. I question whether I'm doing the right thing. I mean- this will probably get rid of my diabetes, hypertension, and cure my addictive eating issues. I will likely not develop a host of other issues, and I'll probably live a longer life if I am able to get to a normal weight.

On the other hand, what if something goes wrong? I die and leave my three year old and seven month old without a mother? I've read stories of people ending up hospitalized for months with sepsis or leaks... Then I can't work and provide food and shelter for those babies?

Obviously the chances of that are very slim, so I will forge ahead. But they are definitely concerns that scare me.

I'm also anxious to go through the breakup with food. I know that is going to be a hard process.

So I choose to not think of those things when they pop into my head. I am doing this and life will be so much better. Only positive outcomes can happen!

Met with my surgeon today for my pre op. will be starting my liquid diet on 6/3. I think I wanna start it sooner than that.

I start pre-op on the 3rd too! Yes! I'm an over achiever too! I started shakes in the AM. Monday I'll start shakes in the AM and PM. Then on the third I'll transition to full liquids.< /p>

SlimDreams, my date is 3rd june and I'm kinda having fears of "am i doing the right thing?" "Will I regret this op?" "Will I be happy with the amount of food? " Etc etc.

I'm just glad I'm not the only one having little fears!!!

But in the long run I know this is the best thing for me and I'll be fine

I just got my date today....June 13th! but i am seeing alot of liquid diets, my doctor told me that i only have to do the liquids the day before surgery :( He said it was because i already have lost a good amount of weight (over the 10% they requested) so my liver should have shrunk enough already. Now that i have my date, I got that feeling you get when you are getting on a big roller coaster for the first time :o

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • 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
