My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow. Can't believe this day is finally here. Scared and nervous, but excited at the same time! Didn't have to do a liquid diet at all, except for the day before surgery which is today! So said my last good bye to my favorite dish last night.

Good luck to all the others who are in the same boat as me. Can't wait to start loosing now!

I need to pick up Protein Shakes as well however my dr only has us use it for 2 weeks after surgery and that is only if we can tolerate it. He said its better to stay hydrated the first couple of weeks than to try to tolerate something and get sick. If you want the names of the ones my surgeon suggested let me know :)

svhonda,

I suggest you try Premier Protein sold at Sam's Club. I started my pre-op Protein schedule a few days ago and I actually like them. No problem getting them down. I bought vanilla and chocolate and both are good. Your taste may vary so don't get too much at once.

I use Garden of Life Raw Protein and Raw Meal normally. I have been experimenting with other brands but none of them stack up to the quality or price.

      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
