My Pre Op diet starts on Saturday and I am really not looking forward to it since seeing everyone's misery. Good Luck to those having surgery today!

It sucks but it's doable. My worst day was like day 8 or 9. I'd accidentally got some sugar in my system from not checking carbs and it triggered me. I wanted everything I could imagine and it was hard not to cheat, but I didn't.

You can add a scoop of unflavored Protein to some crystal lite and guzzle that and it will help. It's not the best drink on the planet but it's not horrible either.

Hey!!! Doing good so far, thanks! At least doing well on the preop stuff. Having problems with the hubs. We have not been getting along lately. It doesn't have anything to do with my surgery. He's been pretty supportive so far - except when we were fighting Sunday and he told me that I chose this and I did this to myself, which is true. It just pissed me off.

They get scared and project it wrong. Guys aren't adept at showing how they feel and project it on to other things. I'm sorry you're having to deal with it right now. Sure you're doing this for you, but you're doing it for him too. To spend a longer, happier, healthier life with him. (((Hugs)))

Thanks for the support! :) I really appreciate it

Oh man. Hope you get there soon and safely. I am all IV'd up and waiting to talk to the surgeon and anesthesiologist before I go!

How are u? I'm recovering well so far but I'm starving! To my surprise they also repaired a hernia and gave me heart bandages! I've been walking around and did 5 laps already! Feeling good and I hope you're doing well too!

Yay!!! Glad to hear you're doing well! Odd that you're starving. I rarely hear that, but sometimes do. It could be stomach acid or real hunger. Do you get to eat ice chips or anything

Nothing since midnight last night! Ice cubes yes but not to eat just to wet my lips. It could be head hunger because I don't physically feel hungry. I do feel very thirsty.

Hi.- 1st day home and improving each hour. Have not felt hungary until my family made spaghetti andeatballs for dinner. Although I didn't physically feel hungary, I missed being able to taste it. I guess head hunger is real. My biggest complaint has been the extra air and gas in my chest and shoulder. Keeps me kind of restless.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
