Hi all! My name is Katie and I just heard about this great app! I am 26 and live outside of Philly. I am scheduled for RNY on January 10th (yikes!) I am on day 10 of the liquid diet, it's been a struggle but I am making it through. I have to say my insurance approval was so quick and easy. I was approved within a week of meeting with my doctor. I was a little skeptical at first since I heard of how long it took for so many others.

I am anxious, scared, nervous and excited all at once. Of course I hear the horror stories and somehow in my mind it outweighs the great successes I hear about. I am lucky to have my husband by my side and then following my surgery my husband will also have the surgery a few weeks later. It's nice to have someone to go through it with!

My surgery is tomorrow at 11 a.m. so anxious and getting stuff together and ready for when I come home. I have been on the liquid diet for 9 days and I dont feel hungry anymore. I havent cheated but I feel like I havent lost as much weight as I should have. 8 lbs since 12/28, seems great in theory but i am terrified the dr will to open. Anyone else experience this?

After 10 days on the liquid diet I broke down tonight and had a piece of chocolate. I have my monthly visitor and honestly couldn't stop thinking about it. I know I shouldn't have but I did Hopefully my liver won't be affected.

I didn't lose much on liquids either. I lost 7 lbs only had a 10day liquid diet. Remember the only purpose of the pre op liquid diet is so that your liver shrinks some so that its not in the way. So it's ok if you didn't lose a lot of weight.i weighed myself before leaving for surgery, cuz at the hospital they didn't weigh me. That is the only reason I know my pre op weight.

No it won't affect you. Now if you didn't follow the diet every day and you didn't lose a pound then that's another story.

      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.
