I'm anxious. Btw my doctor doesn't put you on a special diet pre-surgery. I've been eating anything I want! Are you nervous? I think I'm most worried about comic atoms. Of all goes well, I think I can deal with anything.

Who is your surgeon? Mine is Dr. Wittgrove and he doesn't do the pre surgery diet also, your the only other person I've seen on here that doesn't have to do the pre surgery diet.

Going on day two of post op....if it weren't for the gas pains in my shoulder and neck, I wouldn't even know I had surgery! Except of course the obviousness that I can only drink a medicine cup full of fluids at one time and then feel almost painfully full! I'm so excited about the future now...still seems surreal that I had it done!

Pretty good! Thank you for asking. I am so tired of the full liquid diet already and I have 2 more weeks before phase 3. I have lost 12lbs since surgery. How are you doing?

I am right there with you on bored with full liquids! I want to chew something so bad! Lol...I've lost 21 lbs since before preop diet until now but 14 of it has been since surgery. I'm feeling back to normal with the exception of that small pinch of pain on the right upper side sometimes.

You are allowed cereal?! I'm so jealous! I'm literally on full liquids meaning nothing BUT liquids right now and very thin ones, no lumps etc. :( I want something crunchy so bad for some reason!

I definitely will ask! I have my 2 week post op appt. tomorrow so I will be drilling them on whether or not I can add items to my current menu. Right now it consists of drinkable yogurts or blended Soups with Clear Liquids. I will survive either way but I would love to have something else!

      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.
