I am so nervous I finished up. With all my appointments last Thursday. I am waiting to hear about a date so I can make my pre-op appointments. I hate waiting! I hope they call me tomorrow with some news!

I am new to this. I am 23yrs old. I will be having RNY surgery in June, and I am extremely nervous also. The closer it gets, the more nervous I get. I wish you both the best of luck!

I am getting so nervous! I start my liquid diet in about a week! My date is June 4th! I am struggling with kicking the butts scared of the diet and now freaking out about complications and saggy skin! I wish it was done already I hate all the prep and anticipation. To much time to think about it! Kind of freaking out! Thanks for asking! :) how are you doing?

I'm right there with you!! My date is June fifth! My dr did not require for me to do any type of diet! But have cut soda and any carbonation out of my diet completely! I'm worried because of not having to do any diet I might have complications with the liver thing! I haven't lost anything and maybe even gained a few. I am going to try to do Atkins this week! What does your liquid consist if? As it gets closer the more worried I get!

Jen, as far as I know some surgeons request the liquid diet if you are extremely overweight and in other cases not. I was 360lbs when I went in November for my first consultation. He told me then I had to lose 15-20 lbs before surgery. I ended up losing 30. Don't worry if you haven't been asked to go on a diet just don't gain any :)

Tomorrow is my first of eight weeks of classes. I will have a date about a month from now, and I'm hoping for mid July. My dr. said I don't have to do the liquid diet, except for the last three days, and that is for the liver. I have to say that this site is what is keeping me going, and I am amazed at the generosity and kindness of the people on here.

Onyx,

When I went in for my first consultation with the dr. He never said anything about a diet so I asked him. He said "Well it would benefit you and me but not required!" I worried about the liver thing so I am starting the Atkins diet this week. I weighed 309 that day and I go up and down from there to 315. I go in for my pre op the 22. Hope fully I will be ok!!!

I also did Atkins a month before I went on the liquid diet and that helped and then the liquid diet helped...,if you can tolerate it try to work in the shakes as much as possible. Even if he doesn't need you to lose the weight it will prove to both of you how ready you are! ((hugs))

      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
