On day 5 of my 10 day liquid diet, not starving, not agitated or overwhelmed just excited its getting closer. My Dr allows us pre surgery to add soy milk, almond milk {unsweetened} to our protien drinks, it makes them so tasty. If you are having a problem ask about that. Try mixing Protein flavors I did choc/banana yesterday and strawberry/choc.

I was just given my surgery date...September 19th. I have a week long liquid diet which starts Thursday. Having it done by Dr. Hohen in Lenexa' date=' KS.

I've be considering this for quite a while and talked to a couple of different doctors. It took a month to get an appointment with Dr. Hohen, so I expected it to take another month or so to get surgery scheduled...Nope! He had an opening 10 days later.

I'm also the 19th and I'm freaking out about what to have the 7 days prior. I feel like I'm going to get depressed from not having food.

Hello! My surgery is Thursday I am excited and very calm about it. I have been meditating and doing positive affirmations that's my practice. I am new to this forum but I love the idea of having support!

On my way to the hospital! ...oh wait. Hubs forgot his cell phone. On the way back home!

Hopefully I'll make it on time! Feeling anxious, nervous and HUNGRY! Usually I would be stuffing my face with sweets when feeling this abnormal. No more!

Yeah...I hadn't looked into what types of Protein Drinks to buy as I wasn't expecting to get scheduled so soon. Last night, I read the reviews of Protein drinks and ordered some necter off Amazon which will be here Thursday morning.

        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!

      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
