And im already hungry with a headache. I think it's completely mental, because its only 8am and I never eat this early normally! Is going to be a rough 2 weeks! 4 shakes a day plus Clear Liquids. I'm going to prove to myself that I can have will power, since I've never been able to stick to a diet before! I'm nervous!

Today is day 4 for me. It has been so much harder than I thought it would be... and I did a pre- pre-op diet to try to prepare. I finally crawled out of bed last night, after spending 3 days in bed sleeping and whining. :) I am up today and feel better.

The key for me has been, not getting too hungry. If I feel at all hungry, I will eat sf Jello, popsicles, cup of broth and Protein shakes. My doctor lets me have green veggies too... so I am squeezing in a green salad too. I feel like I am eating all day... but I am just trying to get through these next 11 days.

Good luck to you!

Thanks! I wish I could stay in bed :(. I have a feeling my kids and husband aren't going to like me the next few days lol! I didn't prepare very well, I only have crystal light, shakes, and broth in the house. I'll have to make some Jello and buy Popsicles.

Good luck to you too!

The other thing to remind yourself is that staying on the pre-op diet and following it strictly will make your surgery and recovery better. It's helping 'shrink' your liver which helps the surgeon have better access to your stomach;) YOU CAN DO IT! Mind over matter! I can say this because I haven't done mine yet-Ha! I believe you can do it! It's only 2 weeks of the 52 in the year! Remind me of these things when I am on my pre-op :)

I'm a stay at home Mom too. I start my liquid diet on Friday. I'm sure it's going to be tough having to cook for my family and not being able to have any. Good luck! I hope I'm not too grouchy during the ten day liquid diet :)

Yea I've been weighing myself every single time I go to the bathroom. I have gained 1.5 lbs today! But I've also had about 80-100 oz of fluids today.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

      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
