So I've had a rough time with this low cal diet for Preop. I get two Protein Shakes a day, two servings of fruit, I can have milk and juice (limited to 2 cups max a day), unlimited Water too, then a lean meat and vegetable for a meal. I just got my presurgery diet handbook and found that I can eat more than I thought. The past two days I've been starving myself all day with just two Protein shakes and a very light meal in the evenings! So I have packed a bit more food for the day today! I think I got hypoglycemic yesterday! Had the worst headache and felt like I was going to pass out! Today is a new day and I'm going to try and eat more! ;-) it's only 12 days away! Now it seems my work is going to give me grief about taking a week off. I feel like it's my only chance to do this so I'm going for it! ;-)

I had my EGD today and it went well. Nothing to keep me from having surgery next week! My throat is sore. I also went through all of the Preop work ups at the hospital today! I found out that post op I won't be able to drink anything until my swallow study! I'm thirsty just thinking about it! 7 more days! Now back to my low carb/high Protein diet!

Did they give you an amount of weight you had to lose before surgery?

      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.
