Just got done my final surgeon appointment before surgery on the 18th. All clear and good to go. Lost 7lbs' date=' 9lbs with my clothes off, lol! Excited and nervous all at the same time! This liquid diet is a killer, I am still hungry and miss food!! 1 week down, 1 more to go!![/quote']

Hang on! In one week you will not be hungry! That is so amazing to me that I am feeling no hunger. Keep up the good work!

I have a call in to the dietician about my spitting everything back up. I'm really worried. Only holding down about half of what I'm putting in.

Glad you called. It sounds like something may be blocking. I will say a prayer that all goes well.

They told me to take it slow and sip every ten seconds. Said it sounds like I have a lot of gas a mucus to try and get thru. Suggested some milk with 1/2 the recommended Protein Powder to try to get some good natural sugar too. Suggested I freeze it and eat it like a Frosty.

If I can't hold things down they'll want me to go in for IV fluids because I haven't urinated since this morning.

I'm on pureed food for 2 weeks. He gave me great recipes to try. Soft foods after this phase.

Could you share a few of those recipes?

Well I have 10 days left Til surgery and I am sooooo worried that my liver will be to large to have the surgery. I've been on this liver shrink diet three weeks but I have messed up a few times like last night I ate chips and salsa at the Mexican restaurant and last week I had low sugar ice cream every night and I've had sandwiches for lunch instead of salad for a few days.. I have messed up so bad the last week and I'm nervous my liver won't be small enough. :-(

Have you lost on your diet?

Have you lost on your diet?

I've lost about 8-10 pounds. My nutritionist said to stick to the diet and I will be fine not to worry.

Keep an eye on the dehydration. I may try the freezing a milk product, sounds like it would be tasty.

Hey girlie... I wanted to say. Remember me saying all the trouble I had on the 2nd day? I wonder if your intestines aren't just taking a million years to wake up like mine did. It took me 4 days just to pass a tiny toot. Lol when my intestines were still asleep, they had to give me IV fluids cause instead of my intestines pushing fluids down, they would come back up because they were working yet. Some people take FOREVER for intestines and bowels to get working again. Maybe that's the case. If it is, do as much walking around your house as you're physically able to without nourishment to keep you going.

      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.
