I have to do a 2 week liquid diet. My surgery is 12/4, originally was 12/3, so I will be starting my pre-op diet on Monday. I know I don't have to start until Tuesday, but I figured one extra day shouldn't hurt.

OMG.... Today was my last day to eat anything I wanted before my 2 week liquid diet starts tomorrow and I wasn't really hungry go figure lol I had french vanilla coffee with whipped cream for Breakfast, a corndog with a few chili cheese fries for lunch, and I had no clue what I wanted for dinner so I let my kiddos pick so it was off to mcdonald's for a big mac meal for mommy and a happy meal for my boys what a great way to spend the day with the guys that mean the most to me in my life :)

I am on a one-month liquid diet through thanksgiving. But now I am used to it and like it. Try varying the shake recipes.

I'm really not that worried about it... when I made the decision to have surgery I thought I'd never be able to quit smoking... then I walked out of my 1st appointment with my surgeon and never picked up another one. To me this entire process is a challenge that I am not going to let myself lose! I started using Protein shakes for Breakfast in September and I actually think by the end of this week I'm going to replace one more meal a day with another shake. I'm sooooooo ready to be on the other side of the waiting game!

Wow!! That's MY story! As far as smoking. Today I started my week liquid diet. Its strange that everyone is all over the board on length of liquid pre-op.

We don't need a thanksgiving meal to know the meaning of being grateful and starting a pilgrimage.

Happy holidays future skinny minis!

Had my "education" class today. Surgery is Dec. 4th, so two weeks of presurgery diet. 2 Protein Shakes a day w/Jello, broth, sf popcicles for breakthrough hunger. I also can choose 4oz of Protein and 1/2 c. of veggies for a meal. Not as bad as I thought. Still get turkey and veggies on Thanksgiving but not all the trimmings----- hard part is we are entertaining all weekend! What was I thinking? I think I can, I think I can, I hope I can, I know I can--LOL

I didn't have time to have an early Thanksgiving dinner. I found out my surgery date on Tuesday and was told "by the way, your pre-op diet starts NOW" I don't think anyone in the surgeon's office thought I would get approved as fast as I did. From medical clearance by the Dr to insurance approval was 4 days.

      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.
