I'm on day 8 of liquids and 5 days alway from my surgery. Last night I was craving a cheese burger so bad!! Had to remind myself about my surgery and this is for the new me. I didn't have cravings until last night. And of course, today that is all I can think about and i have to keep refocusing myself during the work day.

Any one else on preop liquids and have any suggestions on cravings?

To this day, the only thing I ever really crave is a good burger. I'm post op, but remember pre-op well. You have the right attitude, stay strong.

In 5 days you will be craving liquids and the thought of a burger will make you nauseous. ;)

Hang on, you are almost there!!

I'm three weeks post op and my saving grace while on pre op liquids were the sugar free Popsicles. They reminded me of dessert so any time I started to crave REAL food I'd break one out. Something to actually chew on!

I thought my pre op weeks were harder than the first week of post op...and you are almost done...keep it up!

You are gonna ROCK this!

Hey there sleeve buddy. How are you doing?? Starting to get hunger back now. You? Fighting these last few pounds.

Hope you are well.

I am 11 weeks out. Every day I try and have a homemade slushy. I use the Magic Bullet fill it up w/ ice and put in two squirts of Mio liquid enhancer...the Orange or Lemonade are my Favorites and blend it helps me with my liquids and if I'm bored and hungry I make myself one and it takes the craving away. oh I eat it with a spoon and I take my time with it its like a sugar free snow cone :) Hope it helps and good luck man you are doing great!

      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
