You did not go through everything you have to weaken now. You're stronger than this pre-op diet. I've read your journey as you posted. You got this.

Thank you! It's the feeling weak and headaches I can't take

its good to vent here, we all understand! I didn't think I could do it, but I did. And in my life there have been very little food related victories ;) Think about how much safer you will be in surgery if you follow the diet. Cheating could endanger your life.

Stay on your pre op diet we don't want any member to lose course on this. Just think how grateful you'll be once you step through the different food stages. You can and will stay strong. You have all our support you are not alone with this.

I feel your pain Shaylove. Today was a very bad day for me. I'm now 4 days post-op and I wanna strangle someone for a little bit of real food.< /p>

My family had a cook out tonight! Steak, chicken, sausage... Etc... And then there was me with a Protein Shake. I was mad on the inside! Plus I don't FEEL any different. I can easily drink a coffee mug full of broth. I'm terrified that when I get on reg foods that ill be able to eat just as much as I could before. I have not yet experienced "full".

Ahh man that had to be like torture!!! Good job not giving in tho!! I have the same thought about not really feeling full and still eating as much as I used to. Just gotta hope the surgery does what it's supposed to to limit the food intake.

Once you get on real foods you will def feel that full feeling. I ate 3 shrimp tonight and was stuffed!

I hope so! I did put a piece of steak in my mouth and sucked the juice out and spit the meat out.... It was sooooooo good!

: ) it's just hard for me to watch my husband having to do EVERYTHING when I feel like I can do something but clearly all I can do right now is get my walking in. Anything more wears me out really bad.

      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.
