Yes I am just supposed to eat Protein and no carbs and eat on a salad plate. No sugar. I'm slacking but mentally I can feel myself preparing. My coordinator is supposed to contact me ten days from my date and go over my diet with me.

I am on 6th day of pre-op liquid Protein diet. So far so good...2nd day was toughest, but I made it through. The EAS carb control shakes are actually quite tasty...rich dark chocolate is my favorite - they are 17 gms Protein, 3 carbs. I can also have 1% -2% cottage cheese, cream Soups, and Greek yogurt. Having those what they call "full liquids" is really helping to make it easier!

New here too. My date is April 17 - one day before you. I am nervous as hell! I have made a few other posts about lack of support and other things.

My Dr's liver-reduction diet is very simple to me. The hardest part is the protien because I HATE shakes or Protein powder.

I feel overehelmed in the pre-appointments though. And I want to be sure my house is all cleaned up and the groceries done etc before I am admitted.

I feel very overwhelmed.

      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.
