I started my liquid diet yesterday... two words... IT SUCKS. This is day two now and I'm already down 2.5 pounds. I just need to make it until my surgery on the 1st. I can't wait !

The pre-op diet does completely bite! The good thing was I lost 10 lbs while doing it. It just puts us that much closer to our goal and everytime you drink the broth remind yourself how FINE you are going to be in the following months!!

Yes. I am 4 days post op and I found that buying Soup and drinking the broth from it taste better than just buying broth. I can not wait to get some mashed potatoes with cheese. Lol

The liquid diet was the hardest part for me. It was like fighting a war without weapons. I couldn't wait to be issued my VSG m16!

I survived on the little seasoning packets from the ramen packages dissolved in hot Water. Just threw the noodles away! If I can manage, ANYONE can!!! You got this! ????

Just finished day 2 of pre-op liquid diet.As of this morning I was down 2.4 lbs. Not bad for 1 day! I am not finding it that difficult because I have been trying to keep myself busy as possible during the day. The only time of day when I find it hard is when I am cooking for my family and cant even taste with I am making (am a damn good cook too lolol) Just keep reminding myself that my life has already changed and will never be the same...!! Got kinda sick of the constant food funerals!! gained 7lbs just during the few weeks doing preop testing.. Good luck to everyone!!

Is the post op liquid diet usually 3 weeks. I keep telling myself that my doctor will advance my diet Monday when I go for my 1 week checkup. Trying to make it through.

This is my first time typing on here. So I hope it shows up in the right place. I had surgery on Monday, 22nd. I think we are on the exact schedule! I don't know an answer to your question. I just got excited to find a person who had surgery on my same day!!

      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
