I'm sorry y'all... Day 4 of my pre op diet. No food. Just Protein Shakes & Water & I'm really hungry. I know I'm doing this for a very good reason but I'm SERIOUSLY SERIOUSLY frigging hungry & obsessing about food!!! All the self talk in the world isn't stopping my tummy from rumbling. I'm drinking 4-5 Protein shakes a day. And a lake full of water...

Oh ..I'm so sorry but curious did Ur doctor not give u a list of approved veggies and tell u its OK to replace a shake with a few ounces of boiled chicken? Salads with fat free / sugar free dressing ? If u need the list I can e mail it.. let me know

Sleeved yesterday! What a positive experience. No nausea, no pain, exept some collarbone pain, which the pain meds took care of. Sipping Water, tea and broth without any problems at all. I stayed overnight at the clinic because I have sleep apnea and use a cpap maching, and I was glad to be there. The nurses were wonderful. Back home today and starting on the next stge of this adventure. Don't stress too much, future sleevers. It's really not bad at all (so far, lol)

I was sleeved yesterday also. Completely agree with Jandseakin. Not as bad as I feared. The nursing staff was wonderful. I was so glad to be able to swallow easily. Have had Water , juice and broth all went down easily. No major pain so so far so good. A day at a time.

      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.
