After I ask the Dr if I would have to do two weeks of liquid, he ask me how much did I think I could lose pre-surgery? I said 15lbs? He said ok lets do that. And one day just clear fluids.

I'm going to Disney World in October so I wanted to lose at least 15 just to give be a bit more energy.

I was put on the liquid diet because it reduces the size of your liver making surgery easier. Its not to prove anything else. No foods for me but horrible shakes, sugar free popsicles and Jello and broth. The only food food is 1/ cup of non starchy veggies. I'm on day four and I'm hungry!

My Dr requires it but since I had went from 259 down to 216 during my time I was required to work with a NUT to learn how to eat... My Dr said I didn't need to do the 2 week diet.. just the 24-48 hour cleanse.

2 weeks before surgery I was actually asked to stop losing because I was under the required weight to have surgery.

So I pigged out the 2 weeks before surgery... Well at least tried! My body refused to allow it most of the time and would put me on timeout sending me to the bathroom with the runs or to vomit. I tell you... Once you start eating healthy your body won't except anything else. Not even those darn Girl Scout Cookies. LOL

I'm one week into my 2 week liquid diet and I think I've already lost 12 lbs!!!! My Dr requires everybody to do the 2 week liquid diet. The NUT said any more than that isn't really healthy.

No liquid diet is required for me either. I just had to lose 25 pounds an not gain anything back. I've lost close to 50 pounds but it took me a year and a half to lose it. I was told that after time your weight will readjust and go back to your liver. I'm afraid that my liver may still be too fatty. So I opted to do the liquid diet anyway. Just 9 days, because I didn't think to do it before then. I'm half way through day 3. So far it's not so bad. But I've done "cleanses" in the past so I kind of know what to expect. I've only ever managed 5 days before though. So I guess we'll see how this goes.

      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.
