Just don't give up on your preop diet. It's not worth risking complications.

I had mine on the 31st and I'm recovering well. I'm so excited that I made the decision to do this. I just wish I hadn't waited (weighted) so long.

Good luck and keep us posted w pics.

Linda. What are you using for the all liquids.

I'm using warm chicken broth, Gatorade, Water, and clear juices - mostly apple juice

Good luck. I'm telling you now, it ain't easy! My surgery is tomorrow and I've been on Clear Liquids since Thursday. My head hurts, my tummy is growling and all I want are some French fries. Ok seriously, I'm obsessing about fries. This is my 3rd post in 10 min about some darn fries. I'm starving!!!! But what helps is thinking about being slim and sexy and healthy! And all the cute clothes I'm gonna buy. Best wishes to you! Hang in there, it will all be worth it.

I am on full liquids for 2 weeks( with clear liquids the last 2 days). I seriously don't know how I am going to get thru this. I had a Premier Protein shake( pre-mixed, bought a case at costco for 24.99) at 8am. I'm drinking my one allowed iced coffee. I'm going to have Soup for lunch and dinner and have to fit another Protein Shake in there at some point. I'm also diabetic on an insulin pump so I am always HANGRY= hungry & angry!! My endo was no freaking help either. Told me to reduce my insulin on the pump by 20%. I still think that is too much, but we shall see.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
