wow 3 weeks? I'd go crazy as well..lol. Do they have a goal amount that they want you to lose? I was told I wouldn't have to do more than one week and a clear liquid the day before surgery, but I'm sure that can change at my final meeting at the end of this month.

He wants me to lose 20-30 pounds before surgery. I'm usually great all day but at night I am ravenous!

I started my 2 week pre-op diet today and my surgery is scheduled for March 6th. I'm pretty excited to start a new life. I was pretty nervous until I had my pre-op surgery appointment this last monday and it really settled my nerves. I feel really prepared now. I'm just nervous about the next 13 days of this pre-op diet. Today hasn't been too bad, not really hungry, just a empty feeling in my belly. Good luck everyone.

      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.
