I started mines today by choice. My surgery is 1-8-2014 but I wanted a head start so my body could adjust to the change. It's been tough but I try to keep myself busy and focus on why I am doing this. The more you think about it the worst it will be for you. I am the one who cooks for my family, so those are the most challenging times but I motivate myself into not caving. You can do it, it's will power!

I start my three week liquid diet on New Year's Eve day. I'm already feeling sad. Like I'm mourning food. I know we will all get through it. It definitely helps to know we are not alone. My surgery is jan 21/14 in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada. See you all on the losers bench!

Just a tip...first 2 or 3 days will be the toughest to get thru, also a cup of chicken broth will help with headaches....good luck to you all and a very Happy New Year!

On Day 15 of a 4 week liquid pre-op diet. Lost 11.7 pounds got 12 more to go. I have cheated but planned to because of the holidays. I didn't go and binge, but had a small portion, mainly Protein. My gain was Water which disappeared by morning thanks to blood pressure meds, gotta live those diuretics. The scale is still going down in the right direction. My surgery is Jan 9 th in Gävle, Sweden.

Right I'm complaining about being on day 4 of a 7 day diet. I hope your cold goes away too. I'm only one day ahead of you and trying my best to stay out of the cold and avoid crowded public germy places. I don't want anything to delay this surgery. I don't think I could do a liquid diet again with this stomach.

      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.
