Ahhhhh on this liquid diet!



Recommended Posts

I feel like I can't do this liquid diet. This chocolate shake is the worst. How will I make it five more days?!

Being at work and around all these people eating food is driving me crazy and I know this is just the beginning

I just focused on the fact that I wanted this surgery and this was the price of admission. It really helped. If it helps you get what you want it's not such a terrible sacrifice. I had to do it for ten days. It sucked mostly because I hated the shakes but found unjury.com and they weren't bad at all. Honestly, I know that "it's just the beginning thing" feels like it's all sacrifice forever now but that hasn't been the case for me. The liquid diet was tough and the first 5 days after surgery kind of sucked. I didn't have a lot of pain but I felt really yucky. Since then it hasn't been nearly as hard as I would have thought. When you aren't hungry you seriously don't want this stuff like you did before. It's so much easier than I thought it would be. Hang in there!

It's really a mental thing. Focusing on the prize is what gets me through! Feel free to come on here and complain and whine in the meanwhile. God knows I sure did lol. Good luck! It is really, really worth it! I'm only 3 weeks out and I haven't regretted this for a second yet.

I was scared of what the consequences might be if I didn't stick to the rules. Some surgeons will open you, then close you right back up if your liver is enlarged. Shrinking the liver is imperative to having a surgery with as few complications as possible. You're gonna make it, and these last five days are going to go by so fast it will be a shock when you suddenly find yourself at the hospital preparing for surgery.

Thanks guys. I'm trying hard to stay focused and i made it through day two! I have five days left and I know I can do this. I really do appreciate the encouragement. Not sure I could have made it through today without it. I'm sure I will have lots more whining and complaining lol;)

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
