It's typical. My preop diet starts on the 22nd and I've been eating everything in sight and saying goodbye :-( lol thankfully my ins doesn't require me to lose or maintain weight prior to surgery. Tomorrow I'm hitting up red lobster :-)

I did a goodbye tour too right up until night before surgery. My doc didn't require preop liquid diet.< /p>

I did the same thing. It's very common. Just remember the mourning for food will continue after surgery and you will be mad because you cant go out and eat anything you want when everyone around you can. Good luck to all of you. This is a mental as well as very physical journey

Omg that's what I get when I go it is anazinggggg. Lol I will be sad when I can't eat those things anymore but after I learn what good meals to prepare I think I will be content not eating like I am now.

Eventually you will be able to eat anything you want. Your head will tell you take one more bite it is SOOOO GOOOD. However you take that bite and your stomach proudly says that was the dumbest thing you have ever done and your punishment will be to send it in reverse. Trust me after throwing up a few things you learn to listen to the tiny voice in your stomach - he is always right over the voice in your head. Please remember you will eventually be able to eat anything you want, but the key is learning Portion Control.< /p>

I am so happy someone said this! I've been feeling ashamed as I've been in the goodbye tour as well! I thought I was the only one. Thank you!

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
