Are you drinking enough Water? Did they give you the 3 day liquid diet instructions? Maybe you can start early. I had to start mine early. My last appointment I gained. He told me to start right away. He normally requires a 14 day so I now have a 16 day.

But I am on day 4 of the liquid diet. I weighed myself today just to see. I am down 5.4 pounds since my visit with him.

I am drinking about 120 oz of Water per day. 10 Cups of 12 oz each. I do have my clear liquid pre op instructions and decided to start today. Its just been caos around the home this past 3 days. To compensate the stress I was so stupid I ate a lrg pk of french fries on Monday followed by 2 baked chicken legs last night. If sister and husband continue with the drama, I will pack my bags and go to a hotel. They had never argued in 17 years and picked the wrong time to do so. I get stressed out and eat even more.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
