Awwww u have a lot going on at once!! Hard to deal with the emotional part of it for sure. I feel the same way u do. I start my liquid diet next Friday and I keep thinking wow I only have 6 more days to enjoy good food and alcohol!!! Going out to eat tonight and then having a party tomorrow night. It's sad :(. BUT it will all be worth it!! Just keep telling yourself that! You will be healthy and feel so much better!! I'm sweating my ass off at work today cuz I've been running all over the place (I am a Secretary for 4 diff departments). I can't wait not to sweat so much!! It's embarrassing!!!! My hair is drenched :(

i feel for you with the sweating thing...im doing the same thing! its so gross! and my breathing...i feel like a porn star volunteering at my kids' school. LOL!

How is pre-op diet for everyone going? Mine doesn't start till the 9th....I'm a little nervous, I'm not great at telling myself no, lol

i have not figured out the multi quote thing yet...sorry for all the responses! i just wanted to tell you that i did the liquid diet 5 years ago...and i never thought i could do it! but you will. and you really aren't hungry...it shows you the difference between what they call head hunger and real hunger. the Protein Shakes make you full...but you want to just eat everything in the house! LOL! you can do it! just post here when you think you cant. :)

After tomorrow I start my Clear Liquids for my surgery Wed. I am getting emotional thinking about all the foods I can not eat anymore. Seems like I am going through a grief process.

My pre op diet is shake for breakfast, shake for lunch, green salad with fat free dressing and a lean solid Protein i.e. chicken breast, steak, and another shake after dinner if needed. Any sugar free fluids in addition are fine. This is just what my dr. wants me to do.

My pre-op is exactly the same- for two weeks. I start Monday. I went and bought a bunch of Lean Cuisine meals for dinners this couple of weeks. Praying for self control. :)

So to those who have already been through surgery how much have your tastes changed afterwards I have been getting sample Protein powders and different things to try but was told not to stalk up till I found out what I liked after and what I could handle.... Just wondering if anyone's had drastic changes or just minor ones?

      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.
