Great! We can countdown together and support each other along the way! LOL! Do you have a pre op diet? I have a two week liquid diet that I start on April 8th, so I will be needing all the support I can get!! Please keep in touch!!

I have a pre op diet for 1 week prior to surgery. And all Clear Liquids on Easter. What was I thinking. Just kidding. I'm ready for this. The Easters is what got me here.

I downloaded a countdown clock app for my iphone. 1 month today! Whoo Whoo!!! Although, I just realized I will not be able to procrastinate and do the taxes on the last day since that's surgery day.

I've also started shopping. If you are looking for small (1oz, 2oz) size containers, search baby food containers. There is a whole world of people who make their own baby food which means there are a ton of container options. Glass or BPA free plastic. My Amazon wish list is huge!!!

I am April 15!!! Start liquid diet April 1. I am so scared I won't have the energy to work once only on liquid. Should be interesting

That's exactly how I feel! My job is moderately physical and I'm worried I won't have enough energy too!

I'm scheduled for April 14th... Possibly could be earlier if there are any cancellations. Under a month now and getting excited and nervous. Pre-op mandatory diet starts 3 weeks before.

I am hoping for a April/May Surgery date! Just finished my last psychology Appointment. Waiting for letter of approval!

I called the insurance company just to make sure they received everything. They did and it is being processed! Not an official approval but representative was very positive about it.

I have been looking at my schedule and going to request an April 25 date if possible...day after my last college exam.

I have no pre-op diet just the skills I have been learning and trying over the last 6 months. Smaller Protein focused meals every 3 hours drinking Water between only. Cut out everything sugar based and high fat.

I am trying to substitute Protein drinks as meals so first half of day liquids then solids in evening.

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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
