Oh awesome! Mobile is a great place. :)

My 2 weeks pre-op diet I have to do 4 Protein Meal Replacements a day and 1 serving of very lean meat and all the non-starchy green vegetables I want. No carbonated drinks, no milk, no fruit or Fruit Drinks, and no breads. Then the day before surgery it's Clear Liquids. Its not as bad as I've heard some people talk about! What is yours going to be like?

Haha. I thought it was pretty lenient too, but hey doctors orders! ;) It'll be interesting to see how it really goes come May. Are you doing anything BEFORE the 2 week pre-op to prepare?

Grief counseling!...lol! But no, not really... I have been trying to increase my Water and practice my chewing and sipping... It's hard especially when I'm in a hurry... Which is most days

Hello all! Mysurgery is scheduled for May 3rd in Tijuana with Dr Valenzuela at Hospital MI Doctor. She only required me to do a 7 day pre op diet but none the less I am currently climbing the walls. I never imagined how hard this would be. Lol. But it will all be worth it!!!

Good luck to you all!!!!

I just wanted to say congratulations and good luck to all of my Fellow May sleevers! Some of you are just days away from the beginning of your transformation while others of us are a few weeks away. I hope those of you who are due for surgery any day now will keep the rest of us posted! We will be looking forward to hearing about your surgery and your progress!

I'm scheduled for May 12th and am seriously looking forward to all of the sugar free popsicles - I hear they are a life saver! My pre-op diet has been my entire time in the program, I think - my center requires me to lose 10% of my excess weight before I get cleared by them to even have the insurance papers submitted. Done and done but now I have to keep it off for the next two weeks - given how much I so want to cheat, that has me a little concerned but I will make it - and if I keep telling myself, I just might. I've been told to do a mild laxative on Saturday before and then all liquids on Sunday. When they told me a 7:30 surgery time, I should have questioned their sanity though - they want me at the hospital at 5! I'm usually just turning over about then...

      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. 🤞
