Today's pre op has been so hard! This is only day 2. Please, someone tell me it gets easier. I am so sick and irritable, I want to throw my husband out the door:-(

Kcamp- I am on day 10 and I have to say Day-2 was my hardest I had really bad headaches Day-3 physically felt 100% better but still felt urge to eat. Each day into my preop was a goal met and now I feel strong because I take it one day at a time and u would hate to feel th at I did it for bothing if I failed on my diet. GOOD LUCK! YOU CAN DO THIS.

Thank you everyone! You guys are so supportive. I am so glad I found this site. My husband is wonderful, but he eats everything in sight and never gains an ounce, so it's hard for him to get it. I'm hoping day 3 will be better. Prayers for us all!

Kcamp, it DOES get easier. I'm on day 11 and my hunger is gone. I'm on a full liquid diet but the Protein Shakes are key. The Protein is what fills me up. Hang in there, TRUST ME, it's more than worth it.

Hi everyone. My surgery is Monday the 13th. I've been reading and reading your posts and, finally, am peeling my self from wall. My pre-op liquid diet was only a week [and it has been difficult], so I sympathize with those doing 2 weeks...but it IS already worth it. My anxiety is minimal right now. I am ready; ready to live with less pain and exhaustion and with more gusto! Best of luck to everyone on this journey. Be excellent,not perfect! xo

You will be in my prayers. Stay in touch and let us know how things go. I will have to do a 2 week liquid diet once I get my date. Hope that will be real soon.

Thank you so much. Prayers, support, and positive vibes have helped and I will need all those I can get. I hope you get your date soon too! Whatever it takes, baby girl! I will keep you updated...will have pictures eventually as I am just learning how to navigate this through the bariatricpal app on my phone. Blessings to you.

Well my time is almost here! Monday is my big day. I have been on a two week diet and it has been the hardest two weeks of my life! I had a few slips here and there but I stuck with it. I am down 15 pounds so far! Tomorrow I start Clear Liquids. Then nothing after midnight. Surgery is at 1:30 in the afternoon. I can't wait to be on the looser bench. Congrats to everyone this month! :)

      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.
