It's my last weekend before I start my pre-op diet. I'm getting super excited, but at the same time, not looking forward to having a liquid diet. My husband is going to take me to the Melting Pot (never been there) for an early Valentines dinner. What did you do, or are you planning to do, with your last weekend?

I just got my approval date today for March 5th. I have a list of "last meals" that I want to eat before I have surgery. Does that sound silly? I just know that my eating habits HAVE to change...so I am savoring all the pizza, fries and steak and cheeses before I move ahead to a healthier life style.

I am officially jealous. Last week I got approval for April 9 and I have to weigh in like 5 times Btwn now and then. If I have my "last supper" and weigh in higher than the most recent weight they have on record I will get postponed :(

Wow that's rough BB. I have not been told to lose weight before the surgery yet although I know I will be on Protein shakes for 2-weeks prior. Can't help but lose weight when you are not eating anything!

Wishing you well and success !

I had to lose 15 lbs as kind of a right of passage into the program, and have been waiting since November to get a surgery date. I've got less than 10 weeks to go though! Woo!

Eating of foods I won't be able to eat later made me gain more than 10 pds from my last weigh-in before my pre-op appt. I lost 5 pds on my liquid and when I went in for my pre-op appt 4days before my Surg and my surgeon canceled my surgery and made me reached for 2-3 wks later. Couldn't do it 2 weeks later due to in-laws' vacation so it's the 26th.... :-( I was angry and pissed because I had no clue it could happen. He said it showed I had probs sticking w the same diet I will be on later and it doesn't give confidence that I can handle it......

Wow, I guess I'll take it easy. I have my pre-op appointment Monday, and I'll start my shakes after that. I don't think I've gained any weight, so hopefully this won't be a problem for me. Thanks for the advice.

Good luck to you BTB. I have been doing the same thing...eating at my favorite places and foods etc. my surgery is March 5th so I won't start the liquid item for a couple of weeks yet. That scars me more than not eating much afterwards!

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

        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
