I am on my last day of the diet as I have surgery tomorrow. You can do it! It will be the longest two weeks ever so it is important to keep yourself as occupied as ever. I dove head first into making my transition home after surgery a better one. I accomplished home projects, sorted through clothes, got ready for the X-mas holiday and thoroughly cleaned the house. Definitely kept me busy and my mind off of the diet. After I got through the first few days of it, it really was better. I didn't have to cheat as my doctor allows 4 oz. of meat and 1/2 c. of veggies daily. So was very thankful for that.

I had horrible headaches the first week....take some Tylenol and drink lots of Water. Dont forget about your Protein. It is very hard to get your calories in when your on this liquid diet, sometimes adding some Peanut Butter to a shake will help. There were some days that I tried and tried to get calories but only got around 400. I can eat all the yogurt I want...(I use Krogers Carbmaster yogurt which is only 4 carbs which is amazing when it comes to yogurt) I also got the New Whey Protein Shots and took one ounce every 3 hours because your body will only absorb 10 grams of protein in 3 hours. My doctor also said I can have cottage cheese (YUCK) but thats also a choice.

My liquid diet was really strict Myoplex lite, raw veggies and Water. Today is the last day. My surgery is tomorrow. Today Is definitely the hardest for me. It's not hard to resist other foods but I anxious to get past today. My best advice is to keep busy.

Good luck tomorrow! You have this in the bag. I am also so so so anxious, I am having surgery in 6 days. To top it off I have finals this week and cant use comfort foods to help.

        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
