A lot of people find it gets better. I'm on Day 11, and it's gone pretty good.....but I had a brain fart last night....I picked up chili on the way home for DH and picked up one for me (habit).... :rolleyes: So, he has a 2nd chili in the freezer. Good luck....you'll do fine.

Hey friends! My surgery's the 13th. :) Excited with all of you.

I find that the more I stick to it the easier to becomes. I'm going into the fourth day now. I realized that for this preop diet, I REALLY have to slow down my eating. Sometimes it takes me an hour to drink some broth, have some veggies, whatever it is I'm allowed.

The hardest part now is intermittent hunger and realizing I'm about to go into a habit (grazing, picking up a food and then being like, "WAIT! I can't it this." My plan is to take it hourly.

I'm with you! My surgery is on the 19th so I'll be starting my pre-op diet on Tuesday. I've been getting prepared by having a liquid Breakfast (I started juicing) and a Protein shake for lunch, so hopefully it will be easier to do all liquids when the time comes! Good luck to all of us!

I find myself forgetting as well that I can't eat what I want && ill do good at my diet at work but when I'm home Im watching others eat, && don't get me started on the stupid food commercials lol. It's definitely a mental process && it takes support...but I know we'll all do great!

Day 3 here we go!

Hi all! I am scheduled for Aug. 22 and supposed to start my pre-op diet on Aug. 15. I am having to start early because I CANNOT QUIT EATING! It is like some emotional melt down. And, for me, once I start with sugar, I go nuts. Every day I tell myself that I'm going to do better tomorrow, but then I don't. So.... something's gotta give. Even though I'm 3 weeks out, I'm thinking about going to liquid now (4 Protein shakes/day) to prevent me from putting on another 10 (or 15!) lbs over the next 3 weeks!

Good luck to all!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
