Heather, I am in Dallas. Dr. Jayseelan is doing my surgery at Medical City. I am on only Clear Liquids for 7 days. I am on day 2 and have surgery on friday, Feb 7th. Popsicles, Jello, Protein Shakes, gatorade, etc. are it. I got a pedicure today and some girl was eating Taco Bell and I wanted to yell at her. 5 more days! Who is your dr and where is your surgery?

Hi you saud clear liquids, then u mentioned Protein Shake (is that clear)?

Well I didn't really lose any weight this week. I'm barely eating anything so idk what the problem is. Pretty disappointed in a 1-2 lb weight loss.

U have to get the Protein in, it will help. Were u told to sip Protein Shakes?

I am so glad I came across this website, everyone is so encouraging and full of knowledge. I am starting a pre-pre op diet. My surgeon says I have to lose 37 pounds before his office will submit my information. I have been doing this since November 2013 and it makes me real anxious to have to lose the weight.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
