I am jealous of you for being able to eat veggies. I get 14 days of full liquid, with sugar free Jello being the "crunchiest" thing on the menu. ;)

That being said, you seem to have it under control. Good job!

Follow your pre op diet to the best that you can. I lost 32 lbs in 2 weeks before my surgery so you can do it. Once you make it past that first few days you will be fine. Just take this 1 day at a time. You will not be sorry. It's hard but think about what your aiming for. 2 weeks of small eating compared to a lifetime of bad eating is a small price to pay. I wasn't perfect in my pre op but I did very well.

I'm allowed 5 shakes + unlimited amounts of these 5 non-starch vegetables; cucumbers, lettuce, celery, bell pepper, and carrots. Somehow I got it in my head that I was only supposed to have 3 Protein Shakes (i was starving so I called my surgeon's dietitian. She informed me that I am supposed to drink 5 shakes a day. OOPS!

Ok day 11 of the pre-op diet was a bust, I had a grilled boneless skinless chicken breast and I feel guilty and like a failure. I will make tomorrow a better day. ???? My surgery is this Monday the 14th. Good night.

Day 11 out of weakness and frustration I broke the liquid diet and had a boneless skinless chicken breast. I feel like I failed myself, but I walked an extra 1/2 mile tonight to make up for eating it.

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

        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
