Just keep in mind that anything you gain now, you will have to lose *on top of* what you wanted to lose pre-op. It's not worth it. The whole idea of "nothing tastes as good as thin feels" is SO freaking correct, you don't want to mess it up. FOR REAL.

Do you have to follow a pre op diet? Maybe let yourself have ONE "last meal" and try to keep on track the best you can. Good Luck. I'm March 4th so I feel your excitement and nervousness!

I had my food funerals, just a few of them. Glad I did Bc I feel like I got it out of my system. Mind you, those were BEFORE I started my pre-op diet.

I actually had three things I wanted to eat so I had three meals over the course of about 3 weeks.

Now that I'm on my pre-op diet I'm not eating anything other than what's approved for me. My surgery is the 18th and I don't want to do anything to mess that up.

I was not required to have a pre-op diet...I am required to do the liquid diet 24 hrs before surgery. I have been trying to put myself on one(just me) for a week now...im losing the battle at discipline! Ugh

I'm sorta glad I'm detoxed from carbs, sodas n caffein, but if I'm totally honest, if I didn't HAVE to do one I'd be eating a pizza Hut pan crust supreme pizza right now.

I have GERD and so i have been on a "restrictive diet" since March 2013..I have a laundry list of foods and beverages that i no longer consumer just because they physically make me ill. I am a boredom eater(which is bad) i will go all day w/o the urge, if i go out after work i will still control the urge to "snack"...But when i get home i am bored and needing something to do with my time. Sure my snack list has changed to fruit cups, yogurt, Jello, apples, and i will sneak occasional ice cream cone, fresh popped popcorn in..I have been doing excellent until last week almost as if i am trying to sabotage myself :(

Today i have made a complete and informed decision that i will NOT compromise what i have been working hard to achieve...i have to be the change that i want to see!!!

I also had my pre-op appointments on the 18th and started my pre-op diet yesterday. I did have a few food funerals, but can't have any more! These next 11 days are going to be torture! But I'm just going to suck it up and do it.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
