I am scheduled for April 23rd!! I have been trying different Protein shakes...I found the best tasting is Chike! I am only going to be in them the first two weeks post op so I didn't load up on them. Some say your taste changes so we will see if they still taste as good after! Hah I have to be on a three day liquid diet pre op so I will not be having an Easter this year!! Haha I am in NY and very excited! I started feb 7th at 270 and have lost 20 lbs so far. I was require to lose 10 to 15 so I'm happy I could exceed that!

I fell in love with Chike it was my favorite but right now no Protein Powder taste good to me. I will say the carnation sf Breakfast drink is tasty with light plain soy milk. Congrats on ur loss.

I just ordered some Chike to try. Never heard of it before, but I'm trying to get some single servings of various kinds to see what I like. So far I have Unjury. My 2 week liquid diet starts on the 16th. Yikes!!

U will do great on ur liquid diet. Best advice is to follow ur instructions mines said Protein Shake or something from approved list every 3 hours and today I got slammed at work and missed those increments now I'm siting at my bar in my kitchen starving and frustrated. After day 3 I was totally fine no hunger at all but I'm sure it's because I didn't follow directions and eat every 3 hours like I'm supposed to.

Awww! I'm sorry! That's got to be hard. I'll have to keep an eye on that every 3 hour thing! I'm a teacher so it's easy to get caught up in what I'm doing and forget! Did you have any headaches the first few days? That's what I'm most concerned about since I'm prone to Migraines.

I didn't have any headaches but I think it's because I stopped sugar carbs and caffeine 3-4 weeks before the liquid diet. My daughter didn't stop before she started but she did experience a headache on days 3 & 4. Afterwards she's been good. She suffers from migraines and cranial pressure.

My doctor doesn't require a liquid diet, but I felt left out and decided to do it anyway this week! All the cool sleevers are doing it! :).

My surgery is April 16th. The first day has been going good.... Until I just paid my property taxes online (second installment is due by April 10th in CA.). Now I feel broke and feel like pouring myself a liquid cocktail!

Officially on the losers bench as of April 8th. Past two days have been really bad with pain and nausea. They have me staying 1 more day in the hospital to make sure I'm not dehydrated

Well I'm a week out from the 8th and thankfully each day has got better.

First few days bad then badish but manageable nothing I couldn't handle, besides I was too tired to cry. Slept loads, in fact all day Tues and wed.

The hotel in Belgium was great but my room was above where the smokers went and in Europe cigs smell like cigars, awful.

Travelling on two flights by myself was okay though majorly sick between flites.

At home drinking tea as Water made the bile rise and drinking cuppa Soups, avoiding anything fruity as too acidic.

Lost weight but at this point don't care as still getting head round that I want to eat...

So my mantra is keep moving forward and one day at a time.

      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.
