My surgery date is April 29th and I'm wondering if its normal to be mourning the loss of food and soda which is a big deal for me! I feel almost like I'm losing my best friend I'm sure this sounds crazy lol. I start my liquid diet on April 15th and I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to do 2 weeks of no food

My surgery is April 10, I only have to be on full liquid diet for 3 days prior. I feel the same way and when they told me not to treat the days prior to full liquid diet as the last supper that is exactly what my friends call it trying to eat a little of all my favorite foods because i feel that i will never have them again. But thats ok harder for me was to give up caffeine with the withdrawal headaches that finally stopped. omg

I haven't gone buck wild with eating only because that's just more I'm going to have to lose and I'm trying to back off the soda..I'm down to one 20oz a day so I'm hoping that by the end of next week we can have a peaceful break up lol

I haven't had a soda since March 15! It was HARD, but I knew I it was going to have to happen, so I quit cold turkey! I did have a "food funeral" of sorts. I had mexican, chinese, local root beer stand, local italian place, and some of my favorite homemade foods. I will have one more to go in May when I have my sisters biscuit and gravy.

I did the cold turkey with the caffeine also because I knew if I didn't I would keep having one more starbucks one more coke (diet cherry dp since I found out diabetic). the headaches were extreme and I really just started drinking coffee 2 years ago until then I never liked it.

Very normal! I thought I was being normal and able to watch food network and be at the table while my family ate, but I became angry and emotional. I felt sad and like I got dumped by food lol. It was a phase for me and I back to watching food shows and life gets easier. You can do it! Stay strong hang in there

Three days after I got home from the hospital I made ultimate pretzel crusted Peanut Butter cookie Reece's brownie bars. It was a test for me. Cooking is one of my favorite things and I thought if I can make these without wanting to lick the spoon I'll be ok. I did it! I sent them to work with my husband and I was told never to make them again... I guess they were way too good and to many calories.

        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.

      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
