My surgery is March 10..... 7 days away. I have been on my full liquid diet for 7 days and I have Lost 12 lbs so far!!!! ???? I will say that the end of day two was painful. My head hurt my legs hurt (low potassium). But I pushed through it. I have 4 children so life for me could not stop. I haven't made my kids suffer for my current situation. We have still went out places. But I have not nor will I cheat! Cause if I cheat I will only be cheating myself....

Last night day 6 I cried myself to sleep cause I just wanted to eat but like I said I have a goal and my eyes are fixed on it!!!!! We will make it guys!!!!!! I'm praying for at least another 13 lbs this week!!! Tomorrow starts Clear Liquids

Hey there!

Well I am on day 14 of my piquid Pre-Op and YES it does get easier! My Dr also allowed me to have sugar free Jello and pudding along with the chicken or Beef Broths.

Not sure were you live but Safeway or their stores (In Texas they are Randalls and Tom thumb) have some AMAZING Protein shakes in their Dairy Department made by Lucerne! Make sure you get the Light ones. They are basically just like the powdered shakes made with fat free milk! They also have a Protein Plus thats an additional 12gms or protein that you can use in your Protein Shakes that increase it to 37gms!

My secret was I'd drink a shake followed by a 16.9oz bottle of Water. When I started getting those salty cravings (chips and cheese are my downfall) Thats when I went for the broth!

Good Luck to ya!

      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. 🤞
